Intel Dual Core Intel 300 Tested: Slightly better performance than Pentium Gold G7400 processor

Among the evaluated processors, the Intel 300 processor is particularly unique, with 2 cores and 4 threads. Due to Intel's elimination of the Pentium and Celeron series, this processor is known as the successor to the Pentium Gold G7400.

Intel 300 specifications

According to information released on Intel's official website, the Intel 300 processor has 2 performance cores and 4 threads. The processor has a main frequency of 3.9GHz, 6MB cache, and a basic TDP of 46W.

Intel 300 adopts Raptor Lake fully enclosed design, and its performance can be said to be "acceptable" among similar products.

Running points

CineBench 2024

In the CineBench 2024 test, the CPU achieved a single core score of 88 and a multi-core score of 216. As a comparison, the Intel i3-14100 processor has a single core score of 102 and a multi-core score of 490.

The performance of Pentium Gold G7400 is comparable to that of Intel 300, which can be said to be quite close.

Handrake

The Handrake test shows that the Intel 300 takes 3 hours and 30 minutes, but this is still much better than the G7400's 4 hours and 2 minutes. Compared to that, i9-14900 only took 22 minutes in the same test.

Game

Call of Duty

Games are undoubtedly not the strength of this processor, but there are also minor improvements in the gaming aspect. In Call of Duty, Intel 300 is 9% faster than its predecessor. This may seem playable, but due to all testing being conducted on the RTX 4090, the dual core design has become a serious bottleneck.

Cyberpunk 2077

In Cyberpunk 2077, the lead is almost within the margin of error. What I mean is, this is not surprising because these two chips use the same underlying architecture. To prove our point, the FPS score of i5-14400 is 3.2 times that of Intel 300.
