AMD Ryzen 3 210 vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data for this pairing is one-sided, but not because the AMD Ryzen 3 210 is universally dominant. The Intel Core i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, meaning the head-to-head comparison is entirely defined by the AMD processor's standalone results. The Ryzen 3 210 posts an average benchmark score of 17321, while the Core i5-14401TE holds an average score of 0 due to absent measurements. This does not imply the Intel part is slow; it simply means no comparison can be drawn from recorded data.

What the data does show is where the Ryzen 3 210 delivers its strengths. The processor achieves a 71st percentile ranking among all CPUs, placing it comfortably above the median. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 (average score 17333, delta -0.1%), the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G (17278, delta 0.2%), the Intel Core 7 150U (17395, delta -0.4%), and the Intel Core i5-12450H (17239, delta 0.5%). The Ryzen 3 210 sits within a 0.5% band of these four processors, making it statistically indistinguishable from them in aggregate performance. This is a dense cluster: the delta values are all under one percentage point, indicating that the Ryzen 3 210 lands in a well-populated performance tier rather than standing alone.

The Core i5-14401TE, with no benchmarks, cannot claim any wins. The recorded data gives the Ryzen 3 210 all measured victories by default, but the practical interpretation is that this comparison lacks the quantitative foundation for a traditional win/loss split. The use-case split must therefore come from architectural characteristics and the Ryzen 3 210's own benchmark profile, not from direct head-to-head results.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ fundamentally in their underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen 3 210 uses the Zen 4 architecture on the Hawk Point codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It packs 20,900 million transistors onto a 137 mm² die. The Intel Core i5-14401TE uses Raptor Lake, specifically the Raptor Lake-R refresh, fabricated on Intel's 10 nm process with a 215 mm² die size. The transistor count for the Intel part is not recorded.

Core configurations diverge sharply. The Ryzen 3 210 has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Core i5-14401TE has 6 cores and 12 threads. This gives Intel a 50% advantage in raw core count and thread count. Cache hierarchies also differ: the Ryzen 3 210 offers 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 8 MB shared L3. The Core i5-14401TE provides 80 KB L1 per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 20 MB shared L3. Intel's L3 cache is 2.5 times larger, which can benefit workloads with large working sets.

Clock speeds tell a nuanced story. The Ryzen 3 210 has a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The Core i5-14401TE starts lower at 2.00 GHz base but boosts to 4.50 GHz. The AMD part holds a 0.20 GHz boost advantage and a 1.00 GHz base advantage, though the Intel chip's higher core count may compensate in multi-threaded scenarios.

Power and platform targets diverge. The Ryzen 3 210 carries a 28 W TDP and uses AMD Socket FP7, marking it as a mobile processor. The Core i5-14401TE has a 45 W TDP on Intel Socket 1700, a desktop platform. The AMD chip supports only DDR5 memory, while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth is recorded at 89.6 GB/s for the Ryzen 3 210, with no comparable figure for the Intel part. ECC memory support differs: the Intel processor supports ECC, the AMD one does not.

PCIe capabilities also differ. The Ryzen 3 210 uses Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while the Core i5-14401TE uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics are present on both: Radeon 740M for AMD, UHD Graphics 730 for Intel. The AMD part is from the Hawk Point mobile line, released in January 2025; the Intel part is from the Raptor Lake Refresh desktop line, released in June 2024.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct head-to-head benchmark results are not available in the database. The headToHeadBenchmarks field is empty, and neither winsA nor winsB records a victory. This means there are no exact score comparisons to walk through between the two processors.

However, the Ryzen 3 210's standalone benchmark scores provide a detailed profile of its capabilities. In Cinebench, the processor scores 1128 in R15 multi-core and 159 in R15 single-core. R20 results show 4703 multi-core and 664 single-core. R23 testing yields 11198 multi-core and 1581 single-core. These numbers indicate a processor that scales reasonably from single-threaded to multi-threaded workloads, with the single-core scores suggesting strong per-thread performance for a 28 W mobile part.

PassMark results add further granularity. The Ryzen 3 210 delivers 152017 in data compression, 8607 in data encryption, 11464 in extended instructions, and 49 in find prime numbers. Floating point math scores 23649, integer math scores 37933, and multithread performance scores 13585. Physics testing gives 821, random string sorting gives 19454, and single-thread performance is recorded at 3724 (with a duplicate singlethread entry at the same value).

The absence of Intel benchmark data means the largest wins in either direction cannot be quantified. The recorded data only permits analysis of the AMD chip's absolute performance and its position relative to the four nearest rivals listed in its own benchmark cluster. Against those rivals, the Ryzen 3 210 is essentially tied: the largest delta is 0.5% ahead of the Core i5-12450H and 0.4% behind the Intel Core 7 150U.

FAQ

Q: Does the database show which processor is faster overall?

A: No. The Core i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmark scores, so the database contains no direct comparison. The Ryzen 3 210 has an average benchmark score of 17321, but no equivalent figure exists for the Intel part to compare against.

Q: How does the Ryzen 3 210 compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Ryzen 3 210 sits within a tight cluster. It is 0.1% behind the AMD Ryzen 5 4500, 0.2% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G, 0.4% behind the Intel Core 7 150U, and 0.5% ahead of the Intel Core i5-12450H. All deltas are under one percentage point.

Q: Which processor has more cores and threads?

A: The Intel Core i5-14401TE has 6 cores and 12 threads. The AMD Ryzen 3 210 has 4 cores and 8 threads. Intel holds a 50% advantage in both counts.

Q: Are these processors aimed at the same market segment?

A: No. The Ryzen 3 210 is a mobile processor (AMD Socket FP7, 28 W TDP). The Core i5-14401TE is a desktop processor (Intel Socket 1700, 45 W TDP). Their platform targets and power envelopes differ substantially.

Q: What is the release timeline for these chips?

A: The Ryzen 3 210 has a release date of January 5, 2025. The Core i5-14401TE has a release date of June 30, 2024. The AMD part is newer by roughly half a year.

The Verdict

Based strictly on recorded data, the Ryzen 3 210 has a complete benchmark profile while the Core i5-14401TE has none. This does not establish the AMD chip as faster; it establishes that no quantitative verdict is possible from the database. The Intel part's 6 cores and 12 threads, larger 20 MB L3 cache, and 45 W desktop power budget suggest a different performance envelope, but without scores, those architectural advantages cannot be translated into measured outcomes.

The Ryzen 3 210's 71st percentile ranking and its tight clustering with four rivals (all within 0.5% in average score) indicate that it performs in a well-defined mid-range tier. Its 4.70 GHz boost clock, 4 nm process, and 28 W TDP make it a mobile-oriented part with competitive single-thread characteristics, as shown by its 1581 R23 single-core score. The Core i5-14401TE's 2.00 GHz base clock and 4.50 GHz boost, coupled with 6 cores, point toward a desktop part that likely favors multi-threaded throughput, though the data cannot confirm this.

For users choosing between these two, the recorded information supports one clear distinction: platform. The Ryzen 3 210 belongs in a mobile socket (FP7) with a 28 W envelope, while the Core i5-14401TE belongs in a desktop socket (1700) with 45 W. Anyone building a desktop system would look at the Intel part; anyone targeting a mobile form factor would look at the AMD part. Beyond that, the database provides no measured evidence to declare a performance winner.
