Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 30 is built on the Zen 2 architecture with the Mendocino codename, representing a mobile-focused design. It uses a 6 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 100 mm². The processor integrates 4 cores and 8 threads, with base and boost clocks of 2.40 GHz and 4.10 GHz respectively. Its thermal design power is 15 watts, positioning it as a low-power mobile part. The cache hierarchy consists of 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 4 MB shared L3 cache. Memory support is limited to LPDDR5, with a dual-channel bus delivering 88.0 GB/s bandwidth. The integrated graphics are Radeon 610M. The socket is AMD Socket FT6, and the market segment is mobile. PCIe support is Gen 3 with 4 lanes.

The Intel Core 3 201TE is based on the Bartlett Lake codename, targeting the desktop segment. It uses a 10 nm process at Intel, with a larger die size of 163 mm². The processor also has 4 cores and 8 threads, but operates at higher clocks: 2.90 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost. Its thermal design power is 45 watts, three times higher than the AMD part. Cache configuration is more generous: 80 KB L1 per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 12 MB shared L3 cache. Memory support includes both DDR4 and DDR5, with dual-channel bus at 76.8 GB/s bandwidth. ECC memory is supported. Integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 730. The socket is Intel Socket 1700. PCIe support is Gen 5 with 16 lanes.

The architectural differences are substantial. The AMD part uses a newer process node (6 nm versus 10 nm) and a smaller die, which aligns with its low-power mobile positioning. The Intel part uses more cache per core (1.25 MB L2 versus 512 KB) and a much larger shared L3 (12 MB versus 4 MB). The Intel processor also supports ECC memory, which the AMD part does not. PCIe capabilities favor Intel significantly: Gen 5 with 16 lanes versus Gen 3 with 4 lanes. The memory bandwidth is slightly higher on the AMD side (88.0 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s), despite the Intel supporting both DDR4 and DDR5 memory types.

The Verdict

The recorded data reveals a clear segmentation between these two processors. The AMD Ryzen 3 30 is positioned as a low-power mobile processor with a 15 watt TDP, a 6 nm process, and LPDDR5 memory support. Its average benchmark score of 20137 places it in the 74th percentile among all CPUs in the database. The nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 7 165U with an average score of 20249 (0.6% higher), the AMD EPYC 7713P with 20024 (0.6% lower), the Intel Core i7-9700K with 20271 (0.7% higher), and the Intel Core i7-11800H with 19998 (0.7% lower). These deltas are all within one percent, indicating that the Ryzen 3 30 performs in a tight competitive band around the 20000 mark.

The Intel Core 3 201TE presents a different profile. It is a desktop processor with a 45 watt TDP, a 10 nm process, DDR4 and DDR5 support, ECC capability, and PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes. However, the database contains no benchmark scores for this part, and its average benchmark score is recorded as 0. Its percentile rank is 50, which reflects the lack of recorded measurements rather than actual performance.

From the data, the AMD Ryzen 3 30 is the only part with verified benchmark results. Users seeking a low-power mobile processor with measured performance in the upper quartile of all CPUs should consider the Ryzen 3 30. The Intel Core 3 201TE offers features that the AMD part lacks: ECC memory, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, higher clock speeds (4.60 GHz boost versus 4.10 GHz), larger L3 cache (12 MB versus 4 MB), and a desktop socket. Users requiring those specific capabilities would select the Intel part, but the data cannot confirm its performance level because no benchmark scores are recorded.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark data is empty, and the Intel Core 3 201TE has no recorded benchmark scores. Therefore, direct comparisons must rely on the AMD Ryzen 3 30's measured results and the Intel part's specification profile.

The AMD Ryzen 3 30 delivers an average benchmark score of 20137, placing it at the 74th percentile of all CPUs. Its individual PassMark results show a multi-thread score of 9027, a single-thread score of 2465, an integer math score of 29846, a floating-point math score of 14448, a data compression score of 135834, a data encryption score of 6461, an extended instructions score of 6075, a find prime numbers score of 20, a physics score of 436, and a random string sorting score of 14431.

Relative to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 3 30 sits within a narrow performance band. It trails the Intel Core Ultra 7 165U by 0.6% (20249 versus 20137), trails the Intel Core i7-9700K by 0.7% (20271 versus 20137), leads the AMD EPYC 7713P by 0.6% (20137 versus 20024), and leads the Intel Core i7-11800H by 0.7% (20137 versus 19998). These four rivals span a range of only 273 points, from 19998 to 20271, which represents a performance spread of roughly 1.4% across all four. The Ryzen 3 30 sits almost exactly in the middle of this group.

The Intel Core 3 201TE has no benchmark scores, so its wins cannot be quantified from the database. Its specification advantages are clear from the recorded fields: a boost clock of 4.60 GHz versus 4.10 GHz, a base clock of 2.90 GHz versus 2.40 GHz, 12 MB of L3 cache versus 4 MB, 1.25 MB of L2 per core versus 512 KB, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes versus Gen 3 with 4 lanes, and ECC memory support. These differences suggest that the Intel part is designed for workloads requiring higher sustained throughput, larger cache residency, and more I/O bandwidth. The AMD part counters with a 6 nm process, a lower TDP of 15 watts versus 45 watts, and higher memory bandwidth of 88.0 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s.

The data shows that the AMD Ryzen 3 30 is a verified performer in the mid-range of the database, with all benchmark results placing it near the 20000 average score mark. The Intel Core 3 201TE remains unmeasured, so any performance conclusions about it would require additional recorded data. The specification sheet indicates a more powerful desktop-oriented configuration, but benchmark verification is absent from the database.
