Intel Arc G3 vs Intel Core i3-14100T Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data places these two processors in very different market segments, and the benchmark split reflects that divide. The Intel Arc G3 is a mobile part built on the Panther Lake architecture, while the Intel Core i3-14100T is a desktop processor from the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. The database shows no benchmark entries for the Arc G3, meaning all recorded performance data belongs to the i3-14100T. Consequently, the i3-14100T wins every category where measurements exist, but that does not make the comparison one-sided in practical terms.

The Arc G3 wins on portability and integration. It uses an Intel BGA 2540 socket, which is a soldered mobile package, and carries a 25 W TDP. The i3-14100T uses Intel Socket 1700 and has a 35 W TDP. The Arc G3 also integrates the Arc B370 graphics solution, whereas the i3-14100T includes UHD Graphics 730. For workloads that rely on the integrated GPU, the Arc G3 offers a different class of visual output, though the database does not include graphics benchmarks to quantify that difference.

The i3-14100T wins on raw compute across every benchmark category in the database. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 11612, its PassMark multithread score is 13662, and its PassMark single-thread score is 3498. The Arc G3 has no recorded scores, so the data provides no basis for claiming any compute victory for it. The i3-14100T also holds a higher percentile ranking, sitting at the 71st percentile among all CPUs, compared to the Arc G3's 50th percentile.

The use-case split is clear. The Arc G3 serves mobile, low-power systems where the 25 W TDP, LPDDR5X memory support, and integrated Arc B370 graphics matter more than multicore throughput. The i3-14100T serves desktop builds where socket compatibility, DDR4 and DDR5 memory options, ECC memory support, and a larger PCIe Gen 5 lane count (16 lanes versus 4) provide flexibility that the mobile part cannot match.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the Intel Arc G3 and Intel Core i3-14100T are not direct competitors. They target different sockets, different memory types, and different power envelopes. The Arc G3 is a mobile processor with a 14-core, 14-thread configuration, a 1.90 GHz base clock, a 4.60 GHz boost clock, and a 3 nm process node. The i3-14100T is a desktop processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, a 2.70 GHz base clock, a 4.40 GHz boost clock, and a 10 nm process node.

For anyone building a desktop system, the i3-14100T is the only option with recorded benchmark data. It delivers a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 11612 and a single-core score of 1639, with an average benchmark score of 17648. It sits at the 71st percentile, placing it ahead of most CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i3-13100F with an average score of 17653 (0% delta), the Intel Core i7-1255U at 17656 (0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE at 17614 (0.2% delta), and the AMD EPYC 9374F at 17693 (-0.3% delta). The i3-14100T performs essentially on par with these parts, with deltas within a fraction of a percentage point.

For mobile or compact systems, the Arc G3 offers a different set of priorities. Its 25 W TDP is lower than the i3-14100T's 35 W, its Panther Lake codename and 3 nm node indicate a newer manufacturing process, and its memory bandwidth is listed at 136.5 GB/s with LPDDR5X support. Its 14 cores and 14 threads provide a higher core count than the i3-14100T, though the database does not include benchmark scores to confirm how that translates into performance.

The verdict from the data is straightforward: the i3-14100T is the choice for desktop workloads where measured performance matters, and the Arc G3 is the choice for mobile systems where power efficiency and integrated graphics take precedence.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no head-to-head benchmark results between the Arc G3 and the i3-14100T, and the Arc G3 has an empty benchmarks array. All available scores belong to the i3-14100T. That makes a direct comparison asymmetric, but the i3-14100T's numbers still provide a full picture of its capabilities.

In Cinebench R15, the i3-14100T scores 1170 in multicore and 165 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, the scores are 4877 multicore and 688 single-core. In Cinebench R23, the scores are 11612 multicore and 1639 single-core. These results show a consistent scaling pattern across the three Cinebench versions, with multicore scores far exceeding single-core scores, which reflects the 4-core, 8-thread configuration with Hyper-Threading enabled.

PassMark results for the i3-14100T cover a wide range of workloads. Data compression scores 152636, data encryption scores 7881, extended instructions score 10414, and find prime numbers scores 56. Floating point math scores 31379, integer math scores 40292, multithread scores 13662, and physics scores 973. Random string sorting scores 15579, and single-thread performance scores 3498 (recorded twice in the database under slightly different test names). The average benchmark score is 17648.

The biggest wins for the i3-14100T relative to its nearest rivals are marginal. Against the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE, the i3-14100T's average score of 17648 is 0.2% higher than 17614. Against the AMD EPYC 9374F, the i3-14100T is 0.3% lower than 17693. Against the Intel Core i3-13100F and Intel Core i7-1255U, the delta is 0% with scores of 17653 and 17656 respectively. These differences are within measurement noise, indicating that the i3-14100T performs at parity with its closest competitors.

For the Arc G3, there are no benchmark wins to report because no scores exist in the database. The comparison therefore rests on specification differences rather than measured performance.
