Intel Arc G3 vs Intel Core i7-14701TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark records for the Intel Arc G3 against the Intel Core i7-14701TE, and the Arc G3 has no recorded benchmark scores of its own. The Core i7-14701TE, however, has a full suite of Cinebench and PassMark results, placing it at the 78th percentile of all CPUs in the database with an average benchmark score of 26,013. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 trails by only 0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE trails by 0.5%, while the AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS leads by 0.4% and the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U leads by 0.7%. These deltas are small, indicating the Core i7-14701TE sits in a highly competitive performance band.

For the Core i7-14701TE, the recorded Cinebench data shows a multicore score of 17,035 in Cinebench R23, 7,154 in Cinebench R20, and 1,716 in Cinebench R15. Single-core scores are 2,405 in R23, 1,010 in R20, and 242 in R15. In PassMark tests, the processor delivers 65,792 in integer math, 50,219 in floating-point math, 14,354 in extended instructions, and 220,520 in data compression. The single-thread PassMark score is 2,637, and the multithread score is 20,042. The data encryption score is 11,699, physics is 1,860, random string sorting is 22,760, and the find prime numbers test yields 143.

Because the Arc G3 lacks any benchmark entries, no direct performance comparison is possible from the recorded data. The Core i7-14701TE’s results establish a baseline, but without corresponding measurements for the Arc G3, any head-to-head analysis would be speculative. The database records no wins for either processor in a head-to-head context, since no such tests exist. The Arc G3 sits at the 50th percentile of all CPUs, but this percentile is based on zero average benchmark score, which indicates an absence of data rather than a measured performance level.

Where Each One Wins

The Core i7-14701TE demonstrates clear strengths across every benchmark category it has recorded. Its multicore performance in Cinebench R23, at 17,035, indicates strong sustained throughput for parallel workloads. The PassMark multithread score of 20,042 reinforces this, as does the integer math result of 65,792. The data compression score of 220,520 is particularly notable, suggesting the processor handles compression workloads with substantial headroom. Single-thread performance is also solid, with a PassMark single-thread score of 2,637 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,405, which positions it for responsive single-threaded applications.

The Arc G3 has no recorded benchmark wins or scores, so the database cannot attribute any performance advantage to it. Its specifications, however, indicate a different design focus. With 14 cores and 14 threads, it has more physical cores than the Core i7-14701TE’s 8 cores and 16 threads. The Arc G3 uses a 3 nm process node, while the Core i7-14701TE uses a 10 nm node. The Arc G3 also has a lower TDP of 25 watts versus 45 watts for the Core i7-14701TE. These differences suggest the Arc G3 is engineered for power efficiency in a mobile form factor, but without benchmark data, the database cannot confirm any performance outcome.

The Core i7-14701TE, by contrast, is a desktop processor with active production status and a release date in 2024. Its benchmark results place it in the 78th percentile, which the database uses to indicate performance relative to all other CPUs. The Arc G3, with a release date in 2026 and a 50th percentile, has no measured performance to support any claim of superiority. In terms of recorded data, the Core i7-14701TE wins in every measurable category simply because it has results, while the Arc G3 has none.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ fundamentally in architecture, process technology, and physical design. The Intel Arc G3 is based on the Panther Lake codename, fabricated on a 3 nm process node at Intel’s foundry. It has 14 cores and 14 threads, with a base clock of 1.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its cache hierarchy consists of 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The processor uses LPDDR5X memory in a dual-channel configuration, with a memory bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s, and does not support ECC memory. It is designed for the Intel BGA 2540 socket, indicating a mobile platform, with a TDP of 25 watts. The integrated graphics are Arc B370, and the PCIe interface is Gen 5 with 4 lanes for the CPU.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE belongs to the Raptor Lake Refresh generation, based on the Raptor Lake-R architecture. It uses a 10 nm process node and has a die size of 257 mm². The processor has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. Its cache is smaller per core: 80 KB of L1 per core and 2 MB of L2 per core, but the shared L3 cache is larger at 33 MB. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, with ECC memory support enabled. The socket is Intel Socket 1700, which is a desktop platform, and the TDP is 45 watts. The integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 770, and the PCIe interface is Gen 5 with 16 lanes for the CPU.

These architectural differences are substantial. The Arc G3 uses a newer, more advanced 3 nm process, which typically enables higher transistor density and lower power consumption. Its larger L1 and L2 caches per core suggest a design optimized for per-core performance, while the smaller L3 cache indicates a different trade-off. The Core i7-14701TE, with its larger L3 cache and higher boost clock, is oriented toward desktop workloads that benefit from larger shared cache and higher frequency. The memory support also diverges: LPDDR5X for the Arc G3 versus DDR4 and DDR5 for the Core i7-14701TE. The PCIe lane count is a major difference, with the Core i7-14701TE offering 16 lanes versus 4 for the Arc G3, which affects expansion capability.
