Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 3 201E dominates the recorded benchmark suite. Every single benchmark score in the database belongs to Intel, with no counters from the AMD Ryzen 3 110. This makes the use-case split straightforward: the Intel chip wins in every workload category where measurements exist.

For single-threaded and lightly threaded tasks, the Intel Core 3 201E shows a clear edge. Its higher base and boost clocks (3.60 GHz and 4.80 GHz versus 3.00 GHz and 4.30 GHz) translate to superior performance in Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 single-core tests, as well as PassMark single-thread and single-threaded metrics. Applications that rely on one or two cores, such as older games, spreadsheet calculations, or lightweight scripting, will favor the Intel part.

Multi-threaded workloads also go to Intel. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12,613 positions the Core 3 201E well ahead of the Ryzen 3 110, which has no recorded score but is placed at the 50th percentile overall. The PassMark multithread score of 14,839 and the integer math score of 43,894 reinforce this pattern. Content creation, compiling, and parallel data processing will benefit from Intel's higher sustained clocks.

The AMD Ryzen 3 110 does have structural advantages that could matter in specific scenarios, but no benchmark data confirms them. Its 6 nm process node is smaller than Intel's 10 nm, which typically implies better power efficiency per clock. Its 28 W TDP is less than half of Intel's 60 W TDP, making it the obvious choice for fanless or passively cooled designs, thin laptops, or any deployment where thermal headroom is tight. The Ryzen 3 110 also has a smaller die size (210 mm² versus 163 mm² for Intel, though the AMD die is larger) and an integrated Radeon 660M GPU, which may offer different graphics capabilities than Intel's UHD Graphics 730, though no graphics benchmarks are recorded.

In short, the Intel Core 3 201E wins every measured performance category. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 wins on power consumption and process technology, which are qualitative advantages not captured by the existing benchmark scores.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural lineages. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 uses the Zen 3+ architecture with the codename Rembrandt-R, belonging to the Ryzen 3 generation. The Intel Core 3 201E uses the Bartlett Lake codename, part of the Core 3 generation. No specific architecture name is listed for Intel, but the Bartlett Lake moniker indicates a distinct design.

Process technology differs significantly. AMD relies on TSMC's 6 nm node, while Intel uses its own 10 nm process. The foundry difference means the Ryzen 3 110 is manufactured externally, whereas Intel produces the Core 3 201E in-house. A smaller process node typically allows for denser transistors and lower power draw at equivalent clocks, which aligns with the AMD chip's 28 W TDP.

Cache hierarchies are structured differently. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core 3 201E offers 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. Intel's larger L2 and L3 caches can improve hit rates for repeated data access patterns, while AMD's smaller caches may rely more on the memory subsystem.

Memory support splits the two. The AMD chip supports only DDR5, while the Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses with identical theoretical bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Intel part's compatibility with DDR4 gives it flexibility for existing platforms, while the AMD part is locked to newer DDR5 memory.

Integrated graphics differ. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 includes a Radeon 660M GPU, while the Intel Core 3 201E includes UHD Graphics 730. No benchmark scores for either GPU are recorded, so relative graphics performance cannot be quantified. The presence of different iGPU models indicates different multimedia and display output capabilities, but the data does not specify details.

PCIe support varies. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 offers PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). The Intel Core 3 201E offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Intel's newer PCIe standard allows for higher bandwidth per lane, while AMD provides more lanes overall. For storage and GPU connectivity, this could affect expansion options, but no bandwidth tests are recorded.

Both processors support ECC memory, which is notable for workstations or small servers. Neither has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not officially supported on either part.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries, and the AMD Ryzen 3 110 has no individual benchmark scores. All recorded performance data comes from the Intel Core 3 201E. This creates an asymmetric comparison: Intel's scores are available across multiple test suites, while AMD's scores are absent.

The Intel Core 3 201E produces a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12,613 and a single-core score of 1,780. The Cinebench R20 results show 5,297 for multi-core and 747 for single-core. The Cinebench R15 results show 1,271 for multi-core and 179 for single-core. These scores, when compared to the AMD chip's 0 recorded score, show Intel leading in every rendering workload, though the absence of AMD data limits the depth of the comparison.

PassMark tests further illustrate Intel's performance profile. The single-thread score is 3,482, while the multithread score is 14,839. Integer math reaches 43,894, floating point math reaches 33,260, and extended instructions reach 11,035. Data compression scores 164,160, data encryption scores 8,931, and random string sorting scores 17,783. Find prime numbers scores 57, and physics scores 1,141.

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core 3 201E provide context. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS has an average score of 19,047, essentially identical to the Intel chip's 19,056, with a delta of 0. The Intel Core i5-12400F scores 19,039, a 0.1% difference. The Intel Core i5-1335U scores 18,982, a 0.4% difference. The AMD EPYC 7773X scores 18,979, also a 0.4% difference. These deltas show the Intel Core 3 201E as a mid-pack performer, slightly ahead of its closest measured competitors but not by a wide margin.

The AMD Ryzen 3 110 has no nearest rivals listed and no benchmark scores. Its 50th percentile ranking places it below the Intel chip's 73rd percentile, but the lack of raw scores prevents a precise percentage comparison between the two.

The Verdict

The Intel Core 3 201E is the clear performance winner based on the recorded data. It holds a 73rd percentile ranking versus the AMD Ryzen 3 110's 50th percentile. Its boost clock is 0.50 GHz higher, its L3 cache is 4 MB larger, and it has a 12 MB shared cache versus 8 MB. Every single benchmark score in the database belongs to Intel, covering rendering, math, compression, encryption, sorting, and physics workloads. The Core 3 201E also has a launch MSRP of $134, though the AMD chip has no listed price for comparison.

The AMD Ryzen 3 110 wins on efficiency and form factor. Its 28 W TDP is far below Intel's 60 W, making it suitable for mobile or low-power systems. Its 6 nm process node is more advanced than Intel's 10 nm, which supports the lower power draw. The AMD chip is classified as Mobile, while the Intel chip is Desktop, so the two target different physical platforms. The Ryzen 3 110 also offers PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes, which may be preferable for configurations needing more lanes, even if the bandwidth per lane is lower than Intel's Gen 5.

For a desktop build where performance is the priority, the Intel Core 3 201E is the only option with measured results. Its benchmark scores show a capable 4-core, 8-thread processor that trades closely with the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS and Intel Core i5-12400F, both of which sit within 0.1% of its average score. The Intel chip's higher clocks and larger caches give it an edge in the tests that were run.

For a mobile or low-power system, the AMD Ryzen 3 110 is the practical choice. Its 28 W TDP allows for compact cooling solutions, and its 6 nm process suggests better efficiency per watt. The lack of benchmark scores means its absolute performance is unknown, but its architecture and specifications point to a design optimized for battery life and thermal restraint rather than peak throughput.

The choice depends on the platform. Desktop users with Socket 1700 motherboards and a need for measured performance should select the Intel Core 3 201E. Mobile users or those building ultra-low-power systems with AMD Socket FP7 should select the AMD Ryzen 3 110, accepting that its performance is unquantified in the database but its power footprint is substantially smaller.
