Intel Arc G3 vs Intel Core i7-14700T Comparison

The Verdict

The database contains no direct benchmark results for the Intel Arc G3, because it has zero recorded scores, a zero average benchmark score, and a percentile rank of 50 among all CPUs. The Intel Core i7-14700T, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 41914 and sits at the 88th percentile. For any user choosing between these two parts strictly on measured performance data, the i7-14700T is the only option with evidence of capability. The Arc G3 appears in the database as a newly active mobile processor with a Panther Lake architecture, but its performance profile is entirely unmeasured.

The i7-14700T delivers a full set of Cinebench and PassMark results. Its multicore Cinebench R23 score of 25980 and PassMark multithread score of 30571 place it near the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS (which scores 41963, a 0.1% difference) and the Intel Core i7-12850HX (41779, a 0.3% difference). Those nearest rivals bracket the i7-14700T within a narrow band, meaning the i7-14700T is competitive with established high-end mobile and desktop parts.

The Arc G3, despite its newer 3 nm process node, is a mobile chip with 14 cores and 14 threads, a 25 W TDP, and a 4.60 GHz boost clock. The i7-14700T is a desktop chip with 20 cores and 28 threads, a 35 W TDP, and a 5.20 GHz boost clock. The data does not show any scenario where the Arc G3 wins a measured comparison, because no measurements exist for it. Therefore, the verdict is simple: pick the i7-14700T for any workload where benchmark evidence matters, and treat the Arc G3 as an unverified entrant until its scores appear in the database.

FAQ

Q: Does the Intel Arc G3 have any benchmark results in the database?

A: No. The Arc G3 has an empty benchmarks array, an average benchmark score of 0, and no nearest rivals listed. Its percentile rank of 50 is a default placeholder, not a measured performance level.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different Intel design generations. The Arc G3 uses the Panther Lake codename with a 3 nm process node, fabricated by Intel. The i7-14700T uses the Raptor Lake-R codename under the Raptor Lake architecture, built on a 10 nm node, also by Intel. The Arc G3 is part of the "Arc G3 (Panther Lake)" generation, while the i7-14700T belongs to the "Core i7 (Raptor Lake Refresh)" generation.

The core organizations differ substantially. The Arc G3 has 14 cores and 14 threads, indicating no hyperthreading. The i7-14700T has 20 cores and 28 threads, indicating that 8 of its cores support an extra thread each. This structural difference explains the thread count gap: the i7-14700T can process more concurrent threads.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. The Arc G3 has 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The i7-14700T has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. The i7-14700T holds a large total L3 advantage (33 MB versus 18 MB), while the Arc G3 has a larger per-core L1 and L2 allocation.

The i7-14700T has a 257 mm² die size, while the Arc G3 has no die size recorded. The memory controllers differ: the Arc G3 uses LPDDR5X exclusively, while the i7-14700T supports DDR4 and DDR5. The Arc G3 has a recorded memory bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s; the i7-14700T has none recorded. The i7-14700T supports ECC memory, the Arc G3 does not. PCIe connectivity also differs: the Arc G3 offers Gen 5 with 4 lanes (CPU only), while the i7-14700T offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The integrated graphics differ as well, with the Arc G3 featuring Arc B370 graphics and the i7-14700T featuring UHD Graphics 770.

The production status for both is Active. The Arc G3 was released on 2026-05-27, while the i7-14700T was released on 2024-01-07. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Specification Differences

The socket is a clear divider. The Arc G3 uses Intel BGA 2540, a mobile socket, while the i7-14700T uses Intel Socket 1700, a desktop socket. The market segments reflect this: the Arc G3 is a Mobile part, the i7-14700T is a Desktop part.

Clock speeds favor the i7-14700T. The Arc G3 has a 1.90 GHz base clock and a 4.60 GHz boost clock. The i7-14700T has a 1.30 GHz base clock but a 5.20 GHz boost clock. The i7-14700T boosts 0.60 GHz higher, while the Arc G3 has a 0.60 GHz higher base clock.

Power targets favor the Arc G3. The Arc G3 has a 25 W TDP, while the i7-14700T has a 35 W TDP. The Arc G3 draws 10 W less at its rated TDP. However, no efficiency measurements are recorded, so a lower TDP does not translate into a verified performance-per-watt advantage.

Core and thread counts favor the i7-14700T (20 cores, 28 threads versus 14 cores, 14 threads). L3 cache favors the i7-14700T (33 MB versus 18 MB). Memory support favors the i7-14700T by offering both DDR4 and DDR5, while the Arc G3 is limited to LPDDR5X. ECC support favors the i7-14700T. PCIe lane count favors the i7-14700T (16 lanes versus 4 lanes, both Gen 5). The part numbers also differ: SA4QZ for the Arc G3, SRN41 for the i7-14700T.

The Arc G3 has no series name recorded, while the i7-14700T belongs to the Core 14th Gen series. The i7-14700T has a launch MSRP of $384; the Arc G3 has no launch MSRP recorded.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

No head-to-head benchmark entries exist in the database for these two processors. The headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty, and the wins counters show 0 for both the Arc G3 and the i7-14700T. Consequently, a direct comparison cannot be made from matched test runs.

The i7-14700T does have standalone benchmark data. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 25980 and its single-core score is 3667. In Cinebench R20, it scores 10911 multicore and 1540 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 2618 multicore and 369 single-core. PassMark results include a multithread score of 30571, a single-thread score of 3905, integer math at 113854, floating-point math at 79042, data compression at 354216, data encryption at 21277, extended instructions at 20052, find prime numbers at 145, random string sorting at 38546, and physics at 1946.

The Arc G3 has no equivalent recorded scores. Every benchmark test field in its entry is empty. Therefore, the only head-to-head statement the database supports is that the i7-14700T has a measured performance profile and the Arc G3 does not.

Because the Arc G3 lacks scores, no benchmark-derived wins can be attributed to it. The i7-14700T wins by default in every category where a comparison is attempted, but this is a function of data availability, not a demonstrated superiority in specific tests.

Where Each One Wins

The i7-14700T wins in every measurable domain available in the database. Its 28 threads and 20 cores give it a structural advantage in multithreaded workloads, and its recorded PassMark multithread score of 30571 supports that. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 25980 reinforces the same conclusion. For single-threaded tasks, the i7-14700T posts a PassMark single-thread score of 3905 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3667, both of which are recorded and usable for comparison. Its 33 MB of L3 cache and 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes make it suitable for memory-heavy and I/O-heavy desktop workloads. ECC support adds a reliability dimension for data-integrity-sensitive use cases.

The Arc G3 has no recorded wins because it has no recorded scores. Its potential advantages exist only in specification form: a 3 nm process node versus 10 nm, a lower 25 W TDP versus 35 W, a higher base clock of 1.90 GHz versus 1.30 GHz, more L1 and L2 cache per core (192 KB and 2.5 MB versus 80 KB and 2 MB), a recorded memory bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s, and a newer release date of 2026-05-27 versus 2024-01-07. Those specifications suggest the Arc G3 is designed for low-power mobile systems, but the database contains no performance evidence to confirm what those specifications deliver.

In terms of use cases, the i7-14700T is the processor for any workload that requires verified performance: rendering, compilation, data processing, or general desktop use where benchmark scores matter. The Arc G3 is a mobile processor with a 25 W TDP and LPDDR5X memory support, positioned for power-constrained portable devices, but its absence of benchmark data means no performance claim can be made for it. The data does not support any scenario where the Arc G3 outperforms the i7-14700T, because no data exists for the Arc G3 at all.
