Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, fabricated on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core 3 201TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel with a 163 mm² die size; transistor count data is not recorded in the database.

Cache organization differs substantially. The AMD processor provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has a larger L3 pool, which can benefit workloads with repeated data access across cores.

Memory architecture also separates the two. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE supports DDR4 only, with dual-channel memory and a recorded bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel Core 3 201TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with a higher recorded memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. Both support ECC memory, which matters for reliability-focused builds.

PCIe capabilities differ by two generations. The AMD part runs PCIe Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel part runs PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. This gives the Intel processor significantly more bandwidth for storage and expansion devices that can utilize the newer standard.

The integrated graphics solutions differ as well. AMD uses Radeon Vega 6, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not supported on either platform.

The AMD processor carries the 5000 series label and belongs to the Ryzen 3 generation defined by Zen 3 (Cezanne). The Intel processor is labeled Core 3 with the Bartlett Lake generation. Both are currently active in production status.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE and the Intel Core 3 201TE. The Intel Core 3 201TE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database at all, with an average benchmark score of 0 and no nearest rivals listed. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, by contrast, has a full set of recorded benchmark results across Cinebench and Passmark tests.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE achieves an average benchmark score of 17482 and sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with an average score of 17507 and a delta of -0.1%, the Intel Core 7 150U with an average score of 17395 and a delta of 0.5%, the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE with an average score of 17614 and a delta of -0.8%, and the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 with an average score of 17333 and a delta of 0.9%. These deltas indicate the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE sits within about one percentage point of all four rivals, making it a tightly clustered performer in this segment.

The AMD processor's recorded scores show a Cinebench R15 multicore result of 1093 and a single-core result of 154. In Cinebench R20, it scores 4555 multicore and 643 single-core. Cinebench R23 results measure 10846 multicore and 1531 single-core. These results indicate the processor maintains strong scaling from single-threaded to multi-threaded workloads.

Passmark results for the AMD processor include integer math at 44665, floating point math at 24115, extended instructions at 10368, data compression at 152885, data encryption at 9564, find prime numbers at 31, random string sorting at 17255, physics at 552, multithread at 12761, and single-thread at 3089. The single-thread score appears twice in the database with the same value of 3089.

Because the Intel Core 3 201TE has no recorded benchmark scores, no direct comparison of specific test results is possible. The database only allows a qualitative comparison based on the Intel part's 50th percentile ranking versus the AMD part's 71st percentile ranking. This percentile gap suggests the AMD processor places higher among all CPUs in the database, though the absence of Intel scores limits the precision of that comparison.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in several recorded specification fields. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. The Intel Core 3 201TE has a lower base clock of 2.90 GHz but a higher boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The AMD processor runs at a 35 W TDP, while the Intel processor runs at a 45 W TDP.

The AMD processor uses AMD Socket AM4, while the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700. The process node differs: 7 nm at TSMC for AMD versus 10 nm at Intel for the Intel part. Die size is 180 mm² for the AMD processor and 163 mm² for the Intel processor. Transistor count is recorded for AMD at 10,700 million, with no transistor count recorded for Intel.

Memory support differs as noted: DDR4 only for AMD versus DDR4 and DDR5 for Intel. Memory bandwidth is 51.2 GB/s for AMD versus 76.8 GB/s for Intel. PCIe generation differs: Gen 3 for AMD versus Gen 5 for Intel. Integrated graphics differ: Radeon Vega 6 for AMD versus UHD Graphics 730 for Intel.

The AMD processor's series is recorded as "5000 series," while the Intel processor's series field is empty. The AMD architecture is recorded as Zen 3, while the Intel architecture field is empty, though the codename Bartlett Lake is present.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE wins on efficiency and placement in the database rankings. It operates at a 35 W TDP versus 45 W for the Intel part, which indicates lower power draw for the AMD processor. It also holds a 71st percentile ranking among all CPUs, compared to the Intel Core 3 201TE's 50th percentile. The AMD processor's average benchmark score of 17482 places it among a tight cluster of rivals, all within one percentage point of its score, which suggests consistent performance across a range of workloads.

The AMD processor also wins on transistor count with 10,700 million transistors on a 7 nm process, which typically supports higher efficiency per clock. Its smaller process node and lower TDP make it a suitable choice for compact desktop builds where thermal output and power draw are primary concerns.

The Intel Core 3 201TE wins on raw clock headroom with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz versus 4.20 GHz for the AMD part. It also delivers more L3 cache at 12 MB shared versus 8 MB, and more L2 cache per core at 1.25 MB versus 512 KB. These cache advantages can help in workloads with larger working sets.

The Intel processor wins on platform connectivity. PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 CPU lanes provides substantially more bandwidth than the AMD processor's PCIe Gen 3. Memory bandwidth is also higher at 76.8 GB/s versus 51.2 GB/s, and the Intel part supports DDR5 memory in addition to DDR4. These features make the Intel platform more forward-looking for storage and memory upgrades.

The integrated graphics comparison favors different use cases. Radeon Vega 6 on the AMD side has a track record of capable integrated graphics performance, while UHD Graphics 730 on the Intel side provides basic display output. Without recorded benchmark scores for the Intel iGPU, the database cannot quantify the difference.

In terms of release timing, the AMD processor launched earlier on September 4, 2024, while the Intel processor launched on January 12, 2025. The Intel part includes a recorded launch MSRP of $134, while no MSRP is recorded for the AMD part.

Both processors support ECC memory, making either suitable for entry-level workstation or server applications where data integrity matters. Both have 4 cores and 8 threads, so thread-count-dependent workloads will see similar scaling. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not a differentiator.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE is best positioned for efficiency-focused desktop builds with its 35 W TDP and 7 nm process. The Intel Core 3 201TE is best positioned for builds that prioritize newer platform standards, including PCIe Gen 5, DDR5 memory support, and higher memory bandwidth. The recorded data shows these are complementary strengths rather than a clear overall winner, with the AMD part leading in the database's percentile ranking and the Intel part offering superior platform specifications.
