Intel Arc G3 vs Intel Core i3-14100F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database does not contain directly paired benchmark runs for the Intel Arc G3 and the Intel Core i3-14100F. The recorded data includes an extensive benchmark suite for the Core i3-14100F, while the Arc G3 currently has no individual benchmark scores listed. Consequently, a direct comparison of test-by-test results is not possible from the available measurements.

The Intel Core i3-14100F posts an average benchmark score of 18,519 across its tested workloads. That figure places it at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs in the database. The Arc G3, by contrast, holds a 50th percentile ranking with an average benchmark score of zero, reflecting the absence of recorded test data. This percentile gap of 22 points indicates that the Core i3-14100F sits substantially higher in overall performance distribution, though this is based entirely on the Core i3 having measured results while the Arc G3 does not.

In the nearest rival comparison for the Core i3-14100F, the data shows how closely grouped its performance is with several other processors. The Intel Core i5-13420H scores 18,511, a delta of 0% relative to the Core i3-14100F. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE scores 18,505, a delta of 0.1% behind. The Intel Core i3-13100 scores 18,380, a delta of 0.8% behind, and the Intel Core 7 360 scores 18,374, also a delta of 0.8% behind. These narrow deltas indicate that the Core i3-14100F delivers near-identical multi-core throughput to these four rivals, with the largest recorded gap being less than 1%.

Within the Core i3-14100F's own benchmark results, the multi-threaded performance is consistent. Cinebench R23 multi-core yields 13,084 points, while R20 multi-core yields 5,495 and R15 multi-core yields 1,318. Geekbench multi-core records 7,598 points. PassMark multi-thread scores 15,420. The single-thread figures are similarly coherent: Cinebench R23 single-core scores 1,847, R20 single-core scores 775, R15 single-core scores 186, and Geekbench single-core scores 2,105. PassMark single-thread records 3,778. The most specialized PassMark tests show a wide spread, from 61 in find prime numbers to 176,106 in data compression, with floating point math at 35,370 and integer math at 45,357.

The Arc G3 lacks any such measurement set, so the head-to-head section cannot assign wins to either part. The only quantitative conclusion available is that the Core i3-14100F has verified performance data and a higher percentile standing, while the Arc G3 remains untested in the database.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc G3 and Intel Core i3-14100F diverge sharply in their underlying architecture. The Arc G3 uses the Panther Lake codename and is built on a 3 nm process node, with Intel as the foundry. The Core i3-14100F uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, specifically the Raptor Lake architecture, and is built on a 10 nm process node, also by Intel. The process node difference of 7 nm represents a significant generational manufacturing gap, with the Arc G3 using a far more advanced fabrication technology.

The core topology differs as well. The Arc G3 has 14 cores and 14 threads, meaning it does not use simultaneous multithreading, each physical core corresponds to one thread. The Core i3-14100F has 4 cores and 8 threads, indicating it uses Hyper-Threading technology to present two threads per core. The thread count difference is notable: the Arc G3 offers 14 threads total, while the Core i3-14100F offers 8 threads, despite the Arc G3 having more than three times the physical core count.

Cache hierarchies also differ between the two. The Arc G3 has 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i3-14100F has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The Arc G3 therefore has more than double the per-core L1 cache and double the per-core L2 cache, plus an additional 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The die size for the Core i3-14100F is 163 mm², while the Arc G3 has no die size listed.

The memory controllers are configured differently. The Arc G3 supports LPDDR5X memory only, with a dual-channel bus and a memory bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s. The Core i3-14100F supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, with a dual-channel bus and no bandwidth figure listed. ECC memory support is absent on the Arc G3 but present on the Core i3-14100F.

PCIe connectivity differs substantially. The Arc G3 provides Gen 5 with 4 lanes (CPU only). The Core i3-14100F provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). This gives the desktop part four times the CPU-attached PCIe lane count.

The market segments are opposite. The Arc G3 is classified as a mobile processor, while the Core i3-14100F is a desktop processor. The sockets reflect this: the Arc G3 uses Intel BGA 2540, a ball-grid array for soldered mobile installation, while the Core i3-14100F uses Intel Socket 1700, a desktop socket. The Arc G3 has a TDP of 25 watts, while the Core i3-14100F has a TDP of 58 watts.

Clock speeds are close but not identical. The Arc G3 has a base clock of 1.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The Core i3-14100F has a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The desktop part has a higher base clock by 1.60 GHz and a marginally higher boost clock by 0.10 GHz.

Both processors are currently active in production, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The Arc G3 was released on May 27, 2026, while the Core i3-14100F was released on January 7, 2024.

The Verdict

The available data points in opposite directions for these two processors. The Intel Core i3-14100F has a complete set of benchmark results, an average score of 18,519, and a 72nd percentile ranking. The Intel Arc G3 has no recorded benchmarks, an average score of zero, and a 50th percentile ranking. Any performance-based selection must favor the Core i3-14100F based strictly on the recorded measurements, as the Arc G3 has no verified performance data in the database.

The architecture data reinforces the Core i3-14100F's position for desktop workloads. It offers 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, dual DDR4 and DDR5 memory support, and ECC memory capability, all features suited to desktop builds. The Arc G3 offers 4 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, LPDDR5X-only memory, no ECC support, and a mobile BGA socket. The Core i3-14100F also has a higher boost clock at 4.70 GHz versus 4.60 GHz.

The Arc G3 does hold advantages in several structural areas. Its 14 cores and 14 threads outnumber the Core i3-14100F's 4 cores and 8 threads. Its cache hierarchy is larger at every level, with 192 KB L1 per core, 2.5 MB L2 per core, and 18 MB shared L3, compared to 80 KB, 1.25 MB, and 12 MB respectively. Its 3 nm process node is more advanced than the 10 nm node of the Core i3-14100F, and its 25 watt TDP is less than half of the Core i3-14100F's 58 watts. The Arc G3 also includes integrated graphics, while the Core i3-14100F has none.

The database's percentile scores provide the clearest verdict. At 72nd percentile, the Core i3-14100F sits well above the Arc G3's 50th percentile. The Core i3-14100F's nearest rival comparisons show it trading within 0.8% of four other processors, confirming its measured performance is competitive within its class. No such confirmation exists for the Arc G3.

For a desktop user with an existing Socket 1700 platform, the Core i3-14100F is the only part with verified performance and a matching socket. For a mobile application, the Arc G3's lower TDP, integrated graphics, and BGA socket are the relevant attributes, but no benchmark data supports a performance claim. The data supports choosing the Core i3-14100F when measured performance matters, and the Arc G3 only when form factor and power envelope take priority.
