AMD Ryzen 5 7400 vs Intel Core 3 201TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no recorded head-to-head benchmark matches between the AMD Ryzen 5 7400 and the Intel Core 3 201TE. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and neither processor registers a win in direct comparison. This absence of overlapping test data means a direct score-by-score comparison cannot be constructed from the recorded measurements. However, the available standalone benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 5 7400 provide a reference point, while the Intel Core 3 201TE currently has no benchmark scores recorded in the database at all.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400 produces an average benchmark score of 42,055 across its recorded workload suite. This places it in the 88th percentile of all CPUs tracked in the database. Its nearest rivals in aggregate scoring include the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS at 41,963 (a 0.2% gap), the Intel Core i7-14700T at 41,914 (0.3% gap), and the Intel Core i7-12850HX at 41,779 (0.7% gap). The Intel Core i9-12900K sits slightly above it at 42,335, which is a 0.7% difference in favor of the i9. These tight margins indicate the Ryzen 5 7400 clusters with a group of strong desktop and mobile processors, sitting just below a flagship-class part.

In individual workloads, the Ryzen 5 7400 shows its strongest raw output in passmark_data_compression with a score of 261,749. The passmark_integer_math score reaches 64,733, while passmark_floating_point_math records 40,784. The passmark_multithread score is 21,712, and passmark_extended_instructions comes in at 19,924. Single-thread performance is recorded at 3,248 in both passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread entries. Smaller scores include passmark_data_encryption at 14,865, passmark_random_string_sorting at 31,110, passmark_physics at 1,150, and passmark_find_prime_numbers at 79.

Because the Intel Core 3 201TE has no recorded benchmark scores, its average benchmark score is 0 and its percentile versus all CPUs is 50. The database shows no nearest rivals for the Intel part, and no wins for either side in the head-to-head section. The numerical comparison between the two is therefore limited to specifications and architectural characteristics rather than measured performance deltas. The data confirms the Ryzen 5 7400 has a robust benchmark footprint, while the Intel Core 3 201TE remains unmeasured in this database.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturers and use different underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen 5 7400 belongs to the 7000 series and uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Raphael codename. The Intel Core 3 201TE is a Bartlett Lake part from Intel, and its architecture field is not recorded in the database. The Ryzen 5 7400 is built on a 5 nm process node at TSMC, while the Intel Core 3 201TE uses a 10 nm node fabricated by Intel. The AMD chip integrates 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die, whereas the Intel die measures 163 mm² and its transistor count is not listed.

Core and thread counts differ substantially. The Ryzen 5 7400 provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core 3 201TE provides 4 cores and 8 threads. Clock behavior also differs: the AMD part has a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz, while the Intel part has a lower base of 2.90 GHz but a higher boost of 4.60 GHz. The Intel chip therefore reaches a higher maximum frequency despite having fewer cores and a lower base clock.

Cache layouts diverge as well. The Ryzen 5 7400 uses 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core 3 201TE uses 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. Per-core cache amounts favor the Intel design, but the AMD processor offers more total shared L3. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the AMD part supports DDR5 only. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but the AMD chip records a higher memory bandwidth at 83.2 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s for Intel. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs in lane count. The Ryzen 5 7400 provides Gen 5 with 24 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel Core 3 201TE provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics also differ, with the AMD part using Radeon Graphics and the Intel part using UHD Graphics 730. The AMD processor has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel processor does not. The Ryzen 5 7400 fits AMD Socket AM5, and the Intel Core 3 201TE fits Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part is a 65 W TDP design, and the Intel part is rated at 45 W TDP.

Where Each One Wins

Given the lack of shared benchmark data, the win analysis rests on specification comparison and the measured performance of the AMD part. The Ryzen 5 7400 wins on core count, offering 6 cores and 12 threads versus 4 cores and 8 threads for the Intel Core 3 201TE. For workloads that scale with thread count, such as multithreaded rendering, compilation, or data processing, the AMD processor has a structural advantage. Its recorded passmark_multithread score of 21,712 and passmark_data_compression score of 261,749 indicate strong throughput in parallel tasks.

The Intel Core 3 201TE counters with a higher boost clock of 4.60 GHz compared to 4.30 GHz for the AMD part. This suggests an advantage in lightly threaded workloads that depend on maximum single-core frequency, though no direct benchmark scores exist to confirm it. The Intel processor also has a lower TDP of 45 W versus 65 W for the AMD part, which points to lower power draw in thermally constrained environments. The Intel chip supports DDR4 memory in addition to DDR5, offering flexibility for systems with existing DDR4 modules, whereas the AMD platform requires DDR5.

The Ryzen 5 7400 wins on memory bandwidth with 83.2 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s, and it provides more PCIe lanes at 24 versus 16. The AMD processor also has a larger shared L3 cache at 16 MB versus 12 MB. The Intel part provides more L1 and L2 cache per core, which can benefit certain latency-sensitive single-threaded workloads. The Intel processor also ships with a launch MSRP of $134, a figure that the database records once. The AMD processor has no launch MSRP listed.

The Verdict

The data supports choosing the AMD Ryzen 5 7400 for workloads that depend on parallel throughput. It offers more cores, more threads, higher memory bandwidth, more PCIe lanes, a larger shared L3 cache, and a substantial set of recorded benchmark scores. Its 88th percentile standing and average benchmark score of 42,055 indicate it competes closely with processors like the Intel Core i7-14700T and the Intel Core i9-12900K, sitting within a 0.7% range of both. The Ryzen 5 7400 also uses a smaller 5 nm process node, which typically aligns with greater transistor density and efficiency characteristics, though no direct power efficiency measurements appear in the data.

The Intel Core 3 201TE appeals to a different set of priorities. Its higher boost clock of 4.60 GHz suggests an edge in single-threaded scenarios that rely on maximum frequency, though the absence of benchmark scores means this cannot be confirmed from the database. Its lower TDP of 45 W indicates suitability for power-conscious builds, and its support for DDR4 memory broadens the available memory options. The Intel part also has more L1 and L2 cache per core, which may help latency-sensitive workloads. Its launch MSRP is listed at $134, while the AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded.

The choice between the two depends on whether the workload favors core count and measured throughput or clock speed and lower power draw. The Ryzen 5 7400 delivers demonstrated performance across a range of recorded tests, while the Intel Core 3 201TE remains an unmeasured quantity in this database, with only its specifications available for analysis.
