Intel Arc G3 vs Intel Core i5-14401E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i5-14401E is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark data. The Intel Arc G3 has no benchmark scores in the database, so direct head-to-head measurements are unavailable. The i5-14401E delivers an average benchmark score of 5253 across all recorded tests, placing it at the 60th percentile among all CPUs in the database.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core testing, the i5-14401E produces a score of 18161. Its single-core result in the same test is 2564. The Cinebench R20 suite shows a multi-core score of 7627 and a single-core score of 1076. The older Cinebench R15 benchmark records a multi-core score of 1830 and a single-core score of 258.

The nearest rival data places the i5-14401E within a tight performance cluster. The Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4 holds an average score of 5259, which is 0.1% higher than the i5-14401E. The Intel Core i7-11700B scores 5241, trailing by 0.2%. The Intel Core i9-10850K also scores 5240, another 0.2% gap. The Intel Core i5-13400T comes in at 5210, a 0.8% deficit. These results indicate the i5-14401E sits in a crowded mid-range performance band where fractional percentage differences separate processors.

The Arc G3, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores and a 50th percentile ranking, which reflects a lack of measured data rather than a performance assessment. The database cannot compute wins for either processor because head-to-head benchmark arrays are empty.

Where Each One Wins

Based on available data, the Intel Core i5-14401E wins in every measured category because it has the only benchmark results. Its multi-core performance in Cinebench R23 at 18161 positions it well above typical desktop workloads, while the single-core score of 2564 supports responsive daily tasks. The Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 7627 reinforces the multi-threaded strength, and the R15 multi-core result of 1830 follows the same pattern.

The Intel Arc G3 wins in the category of thermal design, with a TDP of 25 watts compared to the i5-14401E's 65 watts. The database also shows the Arc G3 uses a more advanced process node at 3 nm versus the 10 nm node of the i5-14401E. The Arc G3 integrates the Arc B370 graphics solution, while the i5-14401E uses UHD Graphics 730.

For power-sensitive mobile workloads, the Arc G3's lower TDP and newer process node suggest efficiency advantages, though no benchmark data confirms actual performance. The i5-14401E, as a desktop part, targets sustained throughput with its higher core count of 6 cores and 12 threads, but the Arc G3 counters with 14 cores and 14 threads, indicating a parallel-heavy design.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every physical and electrical specification. The Intel Arc G3 uses 14 cores with 14 threads, while the Intel Core i5-14401E uses 6 cores with 12 threads. Base clock speeds differ: the Arc G3 runs at 1.90 GHz, while the i5-14401E runs at 2.50 GHz. Boost clocks are closer, with the Arc G3 at 4.60 GHz and the i5-14401E at 4.70 GHz.

Thermal design power shows a major split. The Arc G3 consumes 25 watts, while the i5-14401E consumes 65 watts. Socket compatibility is entirely different: the Arc G3 uses Intel BGA 2540, while the i5-14401E uses Intel Socket 1700. The process node also differs, with the Arc G3 at 3 nm and the i5-14401E at 10 nm.

Cache configurations are distinct. The Arc G3 has 192 KB L1 cache per core and 2.5 MB L2 cache per core, with 18 MB shared L3 cache. The i5-14401E has 80 KB L1 cache per core and 1.25 MB L2 cache per core, with 20 MB shared L3 cache. Die size information exists only for the i5-14401E at 215 mm².

Memory support diverges: the Arc G3 uses LPDDR5X with dual-channel bus and 136.5 GB/s bandwidth, while the i5-14401E supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel bus and no recorded bandwidth figure. ECC memory is available on the i5-14401E but not on the Arc G3. PCIe lanes differ: the Arc G3 provides Gen 5 with 4 lanes, while the i5-14401E provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes.

Integrated graphics differ: the Arc G3 uses Arc B370, while the i5-14401E uses UHD Graphics 730. Market segments also differ, with the Arc G3 targeting mobile and the i5-14401E targeting desktop. Release dates are separate, with the Arc G3 appearing in 2026-05-27 and the i5-14401E in 2024-06-30. Neither processor has a launch MSRP recorded.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split is fundamental. The Intel Arc G3 uses the Panther Lake codename with an Arc G3 generation label, while the Intel Core i5-14401E uses the Raptor Lake-R codename with a Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation label. The Arc G3's architecture field is null in the database, but its codename indicates a Panther Lake design. The i5-14401E explicitly lists Raptor Lake as its architecture.

The process node difference of 3 nm versus 10 nm signals a generational leap for the Arc G3. The foundry for both is Intel, but the manufacturing technology is newer on the Arc G3. The core count difference, 14 cores versus 6 cores, suggests the Arc G3 uses a hybrid or many-core design, while the i5-14401E relies on fewer, higher-clocked cores.

Cache hierarchy reflects different design philosophies. The Arc G3 allocates more L1 cache per core (192 KB versus 80 KB) and more L2 cache per core (2.5 MB versus 1.25 MB), but less shared L3 cache (18 MB versus 20 MB). The i5-14401E compensates with larger shared L3, which benefits workloads that reuse shared data across cores.

Memory architecture also differs. The Arc G3 is built for LPDDR5X, a low-power memory standard suited to mobile. The i5-14401E supports both DDR4 and DDR5, giving desktop builders flexibility. The Arc G3 records a memory bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s, while the i5-14401E has no bandwidth figure in the database.

PCIe implementation differs significantly. The Arc G3 provides only 4 PCIe Gen 5 lanes for CPU connectivity, while the i5-14401E provides 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes. This makes the i5-14401E far more suitable for expansion cards and high-throughput peripherals. The Arc G3's limited lane count aligns with its mobile market segment.

Integrated graphics represent a clear architectural distinction. The Arc G3 pairs with Arc B370 graphics, a modern discrete-class integrated solution. The i5-14401E uses UHD Graphics 730, a baseline integrated GPU. The Arc G3's graphics capability likely exceeds the i5-14401E's, though no benchmark data confirms this.

The production status for both is Active, and both have locked multipliers. The part numbers differ: SA4QZ for the Arc G3 and Q49JSRNJS for the i5-14401E. The market segment split between mobile and desktop dictates many of the architectural choices, from socket type to memory support to PCIe lane count.
