AMD Ryzen 3 3100U vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database does not contain any head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U versus the Intel Core i5-14401TE. The head-to-head comparison field is empty, and no wins are assigned to either processor. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U has a complete set of PassMark benchmark scores, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE has no benchmark entries listed in the database.

For the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U, the available measurements show a single-thread score of 1592 and a multithread score of 3348. The integer math workload scores 8873, while floating point math records 5854. Data compression produces 38455 points, and data encryption scores 1972. Extended instructions yield 2116, prime number search records 18, physics simulation scores 232, and random string sorting scores 4666.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE has an average benchmark score of 0 in the database, with its percentile ranking at 50. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U holds a percentile of 62 across all CPUs. Because the i5-14401TE lacks benchmark data, no direct numerical comparison can be drawn from the database at this time. The absence of scores for the Intel part means the analysis cannot state which processor wins any specific workload. The AMD part's scores stand alone, with no rival measurements to place them against within this comparison.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the available data, the Intel Core i5-14401TE cannot be credited with any benchmark wins because no benchmark scores are recorded for it. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U has recorded scores, but with no rival scores to compare, no win can be assigned to it either. The wins counters for both parts are zero in the database.

Looking at the specification sheet alone, the Intel part holds advantages in core count, thread count, boost clock, L2 cache per core, L3 cache, memory type flexibility, ECC support, PCIe generation, and TDP headroom. The AMD part offers a lower TDP, a smaller die size, a higher L1 cache per core, a recorded memory bandwidth figure, and a mobile market position. The AMD part also has a higher percentile ranking at 62 versus 50 for the Intel part, but the Intel part's percentile is tied to an average benchmark score of zero, which limits the meaning of that ranking.

The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U is the only one of the two with any PassMark data in the database. Its scores range from 18 in find prime numbers to 38455 in data compression. The single-thread score of 1592 and multithread score of 3348 provide a baseline for its performance profile. The Intel Core i5-14401TE has no such data, so any statement about its actual workload performance would be unsupported by the database.

The Verdict

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U and the Intel Core i5-14401TE. The Intel part has no benchmark entries and an average score of zero, while the AMD part has a full set of PassMark scores but no rival to compare against within this pair. The nearest rivals listed for the AMD part include the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X with an average score of 6231 and a delta of 0.3 percent, the AMD EPYC 7272 with 6186 and a delta of 1 percent, the Intel Core i9-10920X with 6347 and a delta of minus 1.6 percent, and the Intel Core i9-7940X with 6147 and a delta of 1.6 percent. Those deltas place the Ryzen 3 3100U within a narrow band around its own average benchmark score of 6247.

Given the absence of benchmark data for the Intel Core i5-14401TE, the verdict cannot favor either processor based on performance measurements. The specification differences are substantial: the Intel part offers more cores, threads, cache, and a higher boost clock, while the AMD part offers a lower TDP and a mobile form factor. Users needing a low-power mobile chip would look at the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U. Users needing a desktop part with more parallel processing resources would look at the Intel Core i5-14401TE. But any claim about which one performs better in a given workload would require benchmark scores for the Intel part, and those scores are not present in the database. The data supports specification-based differentiation, not performance-based ranking, for this pair.
