Intel Arc G3 EXTREME vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc G3 EXTREME and the Intel Core i5-14501E occupy distinctly different performance profiles, as the recorded data shows. The Arc G3 EXTREME, a mobile Panther Lake part, delivers a broad set of multi-threaded and single-threaded benchmark results, all of which point to a processor designed for sustained throughput in a compact power envelope. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 14,655 and PassMark multi-thread score of 30,659 indicate strong parallel performance for a 14-thread part. The single-core results are equally telling: Cinebench R23 single-core at 1,862 and PassMark single-thread at 4,293 place it comfortably above the 85th percentile of all CPUs in the database.

The Core i5-14501E, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its avgBenchmarkScore is listed as zero, and its percentileVsAllCpus is 50, which reflects the midpoint of the database distribution but is not derived from direct measurements. This absence of data means the i5-14501E cannot be credited with any verified wins in the head-to-head comparison. The winsA field is zero, and the winsB field is zero, as the head-to-head benchmark array is empty. Consequently, the Arc G3 EXTREME is the only part in this comparison with measurable performance data.

The use-case split is therefore defined by data availability: the Arc G3 EXTREME wins every measurable category by default, while the i5-14501E has no empirical scores to contest any of them. In workloads such as data compression, where the Arc G3 EXTREME scores 307,094 in PassMark, or floating-point math at 86,929, the mobile part demonstrates clear capability. For integer math, the score is 71,164, and for extended instructions it reaches 24,017. These are the only figures available, and they all favor the Arc G3 EXTREME.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different Intel design families. The Arc G3 EXTREME uses the Panther Lake codename and is built on a 3 nm process node, while the Core i5-14501E uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Raptor Lake Refresh generation, on a 10 nm process. The foundry for both is Intel, but the process gap is substantial: 3 nm versus 10 nm. The Arc G3 EXTREME is classified under the Arc G3 generation, while the i5-14501E belongs to the Core 14th Gen series.

Core counts differ sharply. The Arc G3 EXTREME has 14 cores and 14 threads, indicating no hyper-threading on any of its cores. The i5-14501E has 6 cores and 12 threads, which implies hyper-threading is active across all six cores. This structural difference explains why the Arc G3 EXTREME can post multi-core scores as high as 10,945 in Cinebench R20 and 14,655 in Cinebench R23, despite its lower clock speeds.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. The Arc G3 EXTREME carries 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3. The i5-14501E has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and a larger 24 MB of shared L3. The i5-14501E offers more total L3, but the Arc G3 EXTREME has larger per-core L1 and L2 allocations, which can benefit per-thread working sets.

Memory support differs as well. The Arc G3 EXTREME supports LPDDR5X memory over a dual-channel bus with a recorded bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s. The i5-14501E supports both DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. ECC memory is supported on the i5-14501E but not on the Arc G3 EXTREME. The integrated graphics also differ: the Arc G3 EXTREME includes an Arc B390 iGPU, while the i5-14501E includes UHD Graphics 770.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Because the head-to-head benchmark array is empty, the comparison relies on the individual benchmark suite recorded for the Arc G3 EXTREME. The database shows no scores at all for the i5-14501E, so every figure below is exclusively from the Arc G3 EXTREME's measured results.

In Cinebench R15, the Arc G3 EXTREME scores 2,192 multi-core and 267 single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 10,945 multi-core and 1,545 single-core. In Cinebench R23, the scores are 14,655 multi-core and 1,862 single-core. These results show a consistent scaling pattern across renderer versions, with multi-core scores rising as the workload scales, while single-core scores increase modestly from 267 to 1,862 across the three R15, R20, and R23 iterations.

PassMark results for the Arc G3 EXTREME cover a wider range of workloads. Data compression scores 307,094, which is the highest single PassMark value recorded for this processor. Data encryption scores 23,881, extended instructions score 24,017, and find prime numbers scores 248. Floating-point math reaches 86,929, integer math reaches 71,164, and random string sorting scores 37,331. The PassMark multi-thread score is 30,659, and the PassMark single-thread score is 4,293, with the duplicate field passmark_singlethread also recording 4,293.

The nearest rivals in the database for the Arc G3 EXTREME provide context for its average score. Its avgBenchmarkScore is 36,699. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 has an average score of 36,938, which is 0.6% higher. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F scores 36,945, 0.7% higher. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37,018, 0.9% higher, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37,093, 1.1% higher. The Arc G3 EXTREME sits within 1.1% of all four nearest rivals, which places it in a tight competitive band despite its mobile classification. All four rivals edge it out, but the largest delta is only 1.1%, a narrow margin in the database's recorded averages.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every core specification in the database. The Arc G3 EXTREME has 14 cores and 14 threads; the i5-14501E has 6 cores and 12 threads. Base clocks are 1.90 GHz for the Arc G3 EXTREME versus 3.30 GHz for the i5-14501E. Boost clocks are 4.70 GHz versus 5.20 GHz. The i5-14501E runs at higher frequencies in both states, but the Arc G3 EXTREME compensates with more cores and a smaller process node.

Thermal design power is 25 W for the Arc G3 EXTREME, while the i5-14501E is rated at 65 W. The sockets are incompatible: Intel BGA 2540 for the mobile part, Intel Socket 1700 for the desktop part. The die size for the i5-14501E is 215 mm², while the Arc G3 EXTREME has no die size recorded. Transistor counts are not listed for either processor.

The PCIe configuration also differs. The Arc G3 EXTREME provides Gen 5 with 4 lanes (CPU only), while the i5-14501E provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The production status for both is Active. The release dates are far apart: the i5-14501E launched on 2024-06-30, while the Arc G3 EXTREME is dated 2026-05-27 in the database. Neither processor has a launch MSRP recorded, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The market segments underscore the intended use: the Arc G3 EXTREME is a Mobile part, and the i5-14501E is a Desktop part. The part numbers are SA4R3 for the Arc G3 EXTREME and Q49HSRNJM for the i5-14501E. The i5-14501E also lists a series name, Core 14th Gen, while the Arc G3 EXTREME series is null.
