Intel Arc G3 EXTREME vs Intel Processor 300 Comparison

The Intel Arc G3 EXTREME and the Intel Processor 300 occupy opposite ends of the performance spectrum. The Arc G3 EXTREME is a 14-core mobile processor built for Panther Lake, while the Processor 300 is a 2-core desktop part from the Raptor Lake family. Direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons are unavailable in the recorded data, so the analysis relies on the absolute scores logged for the Arc G3 EXTREME and the architectural specifications that define the Processor 300.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc G3 EXTREME and the Intel Processor 300. The Intel Processor 300 has no benchmark entries in the database, and the head-to-head comparison table is empty. This means the data cannot confirm exact performance deltas between the two processors. The analysis must instead use the comprehensive benchmark results for the Arc G3 EXTREME and the architectural specifications of the Processor 300 to establish the expected performance gap.

The Arc G3 EXTREME delivers a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14655 and a single-core score of 1862. In Cinebench R20, the multicore score reaches 10945, while the single-core score lands at 1545. The Cinebench R15 results show a multicore score of 2192 and a single-core score of 267. These numbers place the Arc G3 EXTREME in the 85th percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 36699.

The Arc G3 EXTREME also has a strong PassMark profile. The multithread score is 30659, and the single-thread score is 4293. Floating point math registers 86929, integer math reaches 71164, and extended instructions score 24017. Data compression scores 307094, while data encryption reaches 23881. Random string sorting hits 37331, and physics scores 2515. The find prime numbers test records a score of 248. These results confirm that the Arc G3 EXTREME is a capable processor for both single-threaded and heavily threaded workloads.

The Processor 300 has no benchmark scores in the database, so its performance cannot be quantified in the same way. The processor does have a 50th percentile ranking among all CPUs, which places it at the median of the recorded population. The Arc G3 EXTREME sits at the 85th percentile, a gap of 35 percentile points. This percentile difference provides the only recorded performance comparison between the two, and it strongly indicates that the Arc G3 EXTREME outperforms the Processor 300 across the breadth of tested workloads.

The Arc G3 EXTREME has 14 cores and 14 threads, while the Processor 300 has 2 cores and 4 threads. The Arc G3 EXTREME has a base clock of 1.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The Processor 300 has a base clock of 3.90 GHz and no recorded boost clock. The higher core count of the Arc G3 EXTREME is a decisive factor in multicore workloads, as the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14655 indicates. The Processor 300, with only 2 cores, cannot match that level of parallel throughput. The single-core advantage may be closer, given the Processor 300 has a higher base clock, but the Arc G3 EXTREME has the higher peak clock at 4.70 GHz.

The nearest rivals for the Arc G3 EXTREME in the database provide additional context. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 has an average score of 36938, which is 0.6 percent lower than the Arc G3 EXTREME. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F scores 36945, 0.7 percent lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37018, 0.9 percent lower. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093, 1.1 percent lower. These deltas show that the Arc G3 EXTREME is competitive with mid-range desktop and mobile processors, and the recorded data places it slightly ahead of all four nearest rivals.

Where Each One Wins

The Arc G3 EXTREME wins clearly in heavily threaded applications. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14655, the Cinebench R20 multicore score of 10945, and the Cinebench R15 multicore score of 2192 all reflect strong parallel performance. The PassMark multithread score of 30659 reinforces this pattern. The 14 cores and 14 threads of the Arc G3 EXTREME enable this level of throughput. Workloads such as video encoding, 3D rendering, and scientific simulation would benefit from this core count.

The Arc G3 EXTREME also wins in memory bandwidth. It supports LPDDR5X memory with a recorded bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s. The Processor 300 supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory, but the database does not record a memory bandwidth figure for it. The higher bandwidth of the Arc G3 EXTREME gives it an advantage in memory-intensive tasks such as data compression, where it scores 307094, and random string sorting, where it scores 37331.

The Arc G3 EXTREME wins in integrated graphics capability. It carries the Arc B390 integrated GPU, while the Processor 300 uses UHD Graphics 710. The database does not provide benchmark scores for either GPU, but the Arc B390 is a higher-tier integrated graphics solution. The Arc G3 EXTREME is also a mobile processor, while the Processor 300 is a desktop processor, so the graphics requirements differ by platform.

The Processor 300 wins in platform compatibility. It uses the Intel Socket 1700, a widely deployed desktop socket, and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory. The Arc G3 EXTREME uses the Intel BGA 2540 socket, which is a mobile-only socket that requires a soldered motherboard. The Processor 300 also has a higher base clock of 3.90 GHz compared to the 1.90 GHz of the Arc G3 EXTREME, which gives it an advantage in lightly threaded tasks that rely on base frequency.

The Processor 300 has a larger PCIe configuration. It supports Gen 5 with 16 lanes, while the Arc G3 EXTREME supports Gen 5 with 4 lanes. This gives the Processor 300 more expansion capability for desktop components such as discrete GPUs and NVMe storage. The Processor 300 also has a smaller die size of 163 mm², which reflects its simpler 2-core design. The Arc G3 EXTREME has no recorded die size.

The Processor 300 wins on power efficiency at idle or low load, since it has fewer cores. However, the TDP figures complicate this picture. The Arc G3 EXTREME has a TDP of 25 watts, while the Processor 300 has a TDP of 46 watts. The Arc G3 EXTREME delivers significantly more performance within a lower power envelope, which is a notable advantage for mobile deployments. The Processor 300, with its higher TDP, still offers a lower absolute power draw than many desktop processors, but the recorded data shows the Arc G3 EXTREME delivers more computing capacity per watt.
