Intel Arc G3 vs Intel Core i5-14400F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive performance gap between the Intel Arc G3 and the Intel Core i5-14400F, though the comparison is limited by the fact that the database contains no benchmark scores for the Arc G3. The Arc G3 has an average benchmark score of 0, placing it at the 50th percentile among all CPUs tracked. The Core i5-14400F, by contrast, has a substantial average benchmark score of 32,279 and sits at the 83rd percentile.

This means the Core i5-14400F dominates every measurable workload category in the database. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the i5-14400F scores 21,645 points. Its single-core Cinebench R23 result is 3,055. Geekbench results show 11,268 for multi-core and 2,058 for single-core. The i5-14400F also posts a PassMark multi-thread score of 25,470 and a PassMark single-thread score of 3,701.

The Arc G3 has no recorded wins and no recorded benchmark scores. The head-to-head benchmark table is empty, and the win count stands at 0 for the Arc G3 versus 0 for the Core i5-14400F. The data simply does not contain any comparable measurements for the Arc G3, so every quantitative comparison in this analysis must rely on the Core i5-14400F's recorded results and architectural characteristics.

The Core i5-14400F's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its standing. It sits 0.1% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U, 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i9-11900, and 0.5% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12800H. It trails the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS by 0.2%. These narrow margins indicate that the i5-14400F is positioned firmly within the upper-midrange desktop CPU tier, competitive with recent mobile and older desktop flagship parts.

Where Each One Wins

The Core i5-14400F wins in every category where data exists. Its 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh architecture uses a 10-core, 16-thread configuration with a 2.50 GHz base clock and a 4.70 GHz boost clock. The Arc G3 uses a Panther Lake architecture with 14 cores and 14 threads, a 1.90 GHz base clock, and a 4.60 GHz boost clock. Despite having fewer cores, the i5-14400F's higher clock speeds and desktop-oriented design give it the performance edge in all recorded workloads.

The Arc G3's only measurable advantage comes from its architecture and platform design, not from benchmark scores. It uses a 3 nm process node compared to the i5-14400F's 10 nm node. It features an integrated Arc B370 graphics solution, while the i5-14400F has no integrated graphics. The Arc G3 targets the mobile market segment with a 25 TDP, whereas the i5-14400F is a desktop part with a 65 TDP. The Arc G3 supports LPDDR5X memory with dual-channel configuration and a memory bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s. The i5-14400F supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, though the database does not list its memory bandwidth.

The Arc G3's cache layout differs from the i5-14400F as well. Each Arc G3 core has 192 KB of L1 cache and 2.5 MB of L2 cache, with 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The i5-14400F provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and a larger 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The i5-14400F's larger L3 pool benefits workloads that fit within that shared cache.

The Verdict

The data clearly indicates that the Intel Core i5-14400F is the superior performer in every recorded benchmark category. Its average benchmark score of 32,279 versus the Arc G3's 0 makes the comparison unambiguous. The i5-14400F's 83rd percentile ranking versus the Arc G3's 50th percentile further confirms this gap.

The Core i5-14400F is best positioned for desktop users who need strong multi-core performance. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21,645 and PassMark multi-thread score of 25,470 indicate robust throughput for rendering, compilation, and other parallel workloads. Its single-thread PassMark score of 3,701 shows capable per-core performance as well.

The Arc G3, despite lacking benchmark data, is designed for mobile platforms. Its BGA 2540 socket, 25 TDP, and LPDDR5X memory support indicate a low-power mobile processor. The integrated Arc B370 graphics means this chip does not require a discrete GPU, which suits thin-and-light laptops. The i5-14400F requires a separate graphics solution since it has no integrated graphics.

For anyone choosing between these two parts, the decision hinges on platform rather than performance. The i5-14400F uses Intel Socket 1700 and is a desktop processor. The Arc G3 uses Intel BGA 2540 and is a mobile processor. These sockets are not interchangeable. The data shows the i5-14400F delivers significantly higher recorded performance, but the Arc G3's mobile design serves a different purpose.
