Intel Arc G3 vs Intel Core i5-14400 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a direct comparison between the Intel Arc G3 and the Intel Core i5-14400, but the benchmark results are entirely one-sided. The Arc G3 has no benchmark scores recorded in the database, while the i5-14400 has a full suite of 19 measurements across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark workloads. This means the i5-14400 wins every available head-to-head comparison by default, as there are no competing numbers from the Arc G3 to analyze.

The i5-14400 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21315 and a single-core score of 3009. In Cinebench R20, it scores 8952 multi-core and 1263 single-core, while in the older R15 test it reaches 2148 multi-core and 303 single-core. Geekbench results show 9807 multi-core and 1905 single-core. These are substantial figures for a desktop processor, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs in the database.

Passmark results for the i5-14400 are equally detailed. The multithread score of 25080 and single-thread score of 3741 stand out, as do the specialized workloads: floating point math at 61549, integer math at 82017, extended instructions at 19816, and data encryption at 16731. The processor also handles data compression at 314995 and random string sorting at 32346. The find prime numbers test yields a score of 80, and the physics test shows 1396.

The average benchmark score for the i5-14400 is 32115. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i7-12800H at an average score of 32121 with a delta of 0 percent, the Intel Core i7-13705H at 32076 with a delta of 0.1 percent, the Intel Core i5-14450HX at 32040 with a delta of 0.2 percent, and the Intel Core i9-11900 at 32226 with a delta of -0.3 percent. These deltas show the i5-14400 sits within a narrow performance band relative to those processors, slightly behind the i7-12800H and i9-11900, marginally ahead of the i7-13705H and i5-14450HX.

Since the Arc G3 has zero benchmark entries and an average benchmark score of 0, it ranks in the 50th percentile of all CPUs, a placeholder position given the absence of measured data. The i5-14400, by contrast, holds a verified 82nd percentile ranking. The wins tally confirms this: the Arc G3 has 0 wins, the i5-14400 has 0 wins in the head-to-head array, but the i5-14400 is the only processor with actual scores to evaluate.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear split. The Intel Core i5-14400 is the only processor in this comparison with measurable performance, and its benchmark suite confirms it as a capable desktop chip. It holds the 82nd percentile position among all CPUs in the database, with an average score of 32115. That puts it in company with mobile H-series parts like the Core i7-12800H and Core i7-13705H, as well as the desktop Core i9-11900, all within a 0.1 to 0.3 percent delta band.

The Intel Arc G3, on the other hand, has no benchmark data recorded. Its percentile rank of 50 is a neutral default, not a measured outcome. The chip is built on a 3 nm process with Panther Lake architecture, but the database contains no test results to confirm how that translates into real-world performance. Any buyer considering the Arc G3 would be working without verified numbers for Cinebench, Geekbench, or Passmark.

From the recorded data alone, the i5-14400 is the pick for anyone who needs a processor with proven multi-core and single-core scores. It delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 21315 and a single-core result of 3009, alongside a Passmark multithread score of 25080. The Arc G3 cannot be recommended on the basis of this database, because no scores exist to justify a choice. The i5-14400 also carries a launch MSRP of $221, a single factual data point that stands as listed.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in design. The Intel Arc G3 is a mobile part using Panther Lake architecture on a 3 nm process node, manufactured by Intel. It has 14 cores and 14 threads, meaning every core is a single-threaded physical core with no hyperthreading. Its base clock is 1.90 GHz and boost clock is 4.60 GHz. The chip is soldered to an Intel BGA 2540 socket, marking it as a laptop-oriented processor. Power draw is rated at 25 watts TDP.

The Intel Core i5-14400 belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, using Raptor Lake architecture (specifically Raptor Lake-R) on a 10 nm process. It has 10 cores and 16 threads, indicating a mix of performance and efficiency cores with hyperthreading on the performance cores. Base clock is 2.50 GHz and boost clock is 4.70 GHz. It uses an Intel Socket 1700, a desktop platform, with a 65 watt TDP and a die size of 215 mm².

Cache layouts differ significantly. 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 i5-14400 has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Arc G3 allocates more cache per core at the L1 and L2 levels, while the i5-14400 has a larger total L3 pool. Memory support also diverges: the Arc G3 uses LPDDR5X with dual-channel access and a recorded memory bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s, while the i5-14400 supports both DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode, with no bandwidth figure recorded.

Integrated graphics present another contrast. The Arc G3 includes Arc B370 graphics, while the i5-14400 carries UHD Graphics 730. The Arc G3 supports PCIe Gen 5 with 4 lanes for the CPU, whereas the i5-14400 supports PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes. ECC memory is not supported on the Arc G3 but is supported on the i5-14400. The Arc G3 is locked, as is the i5-14400, with no unlocked multiplier on either. The i5-14400 has a part number of SRN3QSRN46 and a launch MSRP of $221; the Arc G3 has part number SA4QZ and no MSRP listed.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14400 wins in every category where measured data exists. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21315 and single-core score of 3009 demonstrate strong performance in rendering and single-threaded tasks. The Passmark multithread score of 25080 and single-thread score of 3741 reinforce this. Specialized workloads also favor the i5-14400: floating point math at 61549, integer math at 82017, extended instructions at 19816, and data encryption at 16731 all indicate a processor that handles computation-heavy tasks with ease. The data compression score of 314995 and random string sorting at 32346 show solid memory and logic throughput.

The Arc G3 has no recorded wins because it has no recorded scores. Its only advantage in the database is architectural: a smaller 3 nm process node, higher per-core L1 and L2 cache allocations (192 KB and 2.5 MB per core), and a higher memory bandwidth figure of 136.5 GB/s. These are specifications, not benchmark results, so they cannot be used to claim a performance win. The Arc G3 also carries a lower 25 watt TDP, which suggests efficiency potential, but the database contains no thermal or power measurements to confirm that advantage.

For a user choosing between these two, the i5-14400 is the only processor with verified performance data. The Arc G3 may offer architectural benefits on paper, but without benchmark scores, those remain theoretical. The i5-14400, by contrast, has a full suite of measurements across three major benchmark suites, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. The nearest rival data shows it trades blows with the Intel Core i7-12800H, i7-13705H, i5-14450HX, and i9-11900, all within a 0.1 to 0.3 percent delta.
