AMD Ryzen 3 3100U vs Intel Core 3 201TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a complete benchmark profile for the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U, while the Intel Core 3 201TE has no benchmark entries in the current dataset. This asymmetry means a direct score-for-score comparison is not possible from the available measurements. The Ryzen 3 3100U shows a single-thread score of 1592 and a multithread score of 3348 in the PassMark suite. Its floating point math result is 5854, integer math is 8873, and extended instructions score is 2116. Data compression performance reaches 38455, while data encryption is markedly lower at 1972.

The Intel Core 3 201TE is listed with an average benchmark score of zero and no individual test results, which places it outside the comparative framework for this analysis. The Ryzen 3 3100U, by contrast, holds a 62nd percentile ranking against all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 6247.

When the Ryzen 3 3100U is positioned against its nearest rivals in the database, the numbers show a tightly packed field. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X averages 6231, which is 0.3% behind the Ryzen 3 3100U. The AMD EPYC 7272 averages 6186, sitting 1% lower. The Intel Core i9-10920X averages 6347, which is 1.6% ahead of the Ryzen 3 3100U, while the Intel Core i9-7940X averages 6147, landing 1.6% behind. These deltas are small, indicating that the Ryzen 3 3100U's average score places it in a competitive band despite its mobile, low-power positioning.

The absence of benchmark data for the Intel Core 3 201TE means the head-to-head comparison is limited to architectural and specification differences, which are covered in later sections. The data shows that the Ryzen 3 3100U has measurable performance characteristics, while the Intel part currently lacks recorded measurements.

Where Each One Wins

Without benchmark results for the Intel Core 3 201TE, the win analysis is one-sided. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U demonstrates its strongest recorded results in data compression (38455), integer math (8873), and floating point math (5854). Its random string sorting score is 4666, and data encryption is 1972. The physics test yields 232, and finding prime numbers produces 18. These numbers indicate a processor that handles integer-heavy workloads and compression tasks more effectively than encryption or prime-number searches.

The Intel Core 3 201TE, based on the database records, has no wins to claim because no benchmark scores are registered. The specification sheet does suggest areas where it may hold an advantage, but without measured performance data those remain projections rather than verified outcomes. The Ryzen 3 3100U wins the entire recorded benchmark suite by default, since it is the only part with test results.

For use-case considerations, the Ryzen 3 3100U's data shows a processor suited to general productivity tasks, particularly those involving data manipulation and arithmetic operations. The Intel Core 3 201TE's specifications, including a higher core count and faster listed clocks, would logically position it for heavier multi-threaded workloads, but the database does not confirm this with scores.

Thermal design power is 15 watts for the AMD mobile part and 45 watts for the Intel desktop part.

Cache hierarchies are different in both size and organization. The Ryzen 3 3100U has 96 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of shared L3. The Intel Core 3 201TE has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has three times the L3 capacity and larger per-core L2.

Memory support also separates the two. The Ryzen 3 3100U supports DDR4 with dual-channel access and a memory bandwidth of 38.4 GB/s. ECC memory is not supported. The Intel Core 3 201TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, exactly double the AMD figure. ECC memory is supported on the Intel part.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The AMD processor uses PCIe Gen 3, while the Intel part uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes available from the CPU. Integrated graphics are Radeon Vega 8 on the AMD side and UHD Graphics 730 on the Intel side. The AMD part is a mobile segment processor on AMD Socket FP5, while the Intel part is a desktop segment processor on Intel Socket 1700.

The Ryzen 3 3100U has a release date of 2026-05-31, while the Intel Core 3 201TE lists 2025-01-12. Both are active production parts with locked multipliers. The AMD part number is YM3100C4T2OFG, and the Intel part number is SRPKDQ5CK.

The specification table confirms that the Intel Core 3 201TE is a higher-power desktop part with more cores, higher clocks, larger caches, and broader memory support. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U is a low-power mobile part with a smaller footprint in every measured specification category. The database shows no benchmark results for the Intel part, so the performance implications of these differences remain unverified. The AMD part's recorded scores, however, place it in the 62nd percentile of all CPUs with an average of 6247, despite its modest 2-core configuration.
