AMD Ryzen 5 8600G vs Intel Core 3 201TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data in the database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for the AMD Ryzen 5 8600G versus the Intel Core 3 201TE. The headToHeadBenchmarks field is empty, and neither processor records a win in the winsA or winsB counters. This absence of direct comparison data means the analysis must rely on the individual benchmark suites available for the AMD Ryzen 5 8600G and the specification differences between the two parts.

The AMD Ryzen 5 8600G has a full set of benchmark scores across multiple suites. Its average benchmark score is 24089, and it sits at the 76th percentile among all CPUs in the database. In Cinebench R23, the Ryzen 5 8600G scores 21503 in multicore and 3035 in single-core. In Geekbench, it records 10850 multicore and 2433 single-core. The 3DMark suite shows scores of 6199 at 16 threads, 1869 at 2 threads, 3510 at 4 threads, 5187 at 8 threads, 6161 at max threads, and 985 single-thread. Passmark results include 293306 in data compression, 17181 in data encryption, 22610 in extended instructions, 96 in find prime numbers, 47919 in floating point math, 77042 in integer math, 25294 in multithread, 1450 in physics, 35067 in random string sorting, and 3878 in single-thread performance.

The Intel Core 3 201TE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its percentileVsAllCpus is 50, and its average benchmark score is 0. This means the database offers no measured performance data for the Intel part across any of the standard suites. The comparison therefore hinges on the architectural and specification differences, plus the fact that the AMD part delivers a complete set of measured results while the Intel part has none.

Relative to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 8600G shows tight clustering. It sits 0.4% below the AMD Ryzen 5 7540U, which has an average score of 24188. It is 0.4% above the AMD Ryzen 7 8840U, which averages 23982. The Intel Core i5-13400 averages 24280, putting the Ryzen 5 8600G 0.8% behind it. The Intel Core i7-1360P averages 24344, placing the Ryzen 5 8600G 1.0% behind that part. These deltas indicate the Ryzen 5 8600G performs essentially on par with those four processors, within a single percentage point in either direction.

The absence of Intel Core 3 201TE benchmark data means no comparable delta calculations exist. The database records no nearest rivals for the Intel part, and no percentile ranking beyond the 50th percentile figure. This leaves the analysis of the Intel part to specification-level interpretation only.

The Verdict

The database contains measured performance data for the AMD Ryzen 5 8600G across multiple suites, with an average benchmark score of 24089 and a 76th percentile ranking. The Intel Core 3 201TE has no recorded benchmark scores and an average benchmark score of 0, sitting at the 50th percentile. Based strictly on recorded data, the Ryzen 5 8600G is the only part with verified performance figures, making it the defensible choice for workloads where measured single-thread and multi-thread scores matter.

The Ryzen 5 8600G delivers 6 cores versus 4, 12 threads versus 8, a higher base clock of 4.30 GHz versus 2.90 GHz, and a higher boost clock of 5.00 GHz versus 4.60 GHz. It also offers a larger shared L3 cache at 16 MB versus 12 MB, higher memory bandwidth at 83.2 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s, and a smaller process node at 4 nm versus 10 nm. The Intel Core 3 201TE counters with ECC memory support, DDR4 compatibility, PCIe Gen 5 connectivity with 16 lanes versus Gen 4 with 20 lanes, and a lower TDP of 45 watts versus 65 watts.

For users who require ECC memory, the Intel Core 3 201TE is the only option between the two. For users who prioritize measured multi-core throughput, higher clocks, larger cache, or faster memory bandwidth, the recorded data favors the AMD Ryzen 5 8600G. The lack of any Intel benchmark scores means any performance claim for that part would be unsupported by the database.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen 5 8600G has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core 3 201TE has 4 cores and 8 threads. Base clocks are 4.30 GHz versus 2.90 GHz, and boost clocks are 5.00 GHz versus 4.60 GHz. TDP figures are 65 watts for the AMD part and 45 watts for the Intel part. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700.

Memory support differs: the Ryzen 5 8600G supports DDR5 only, while the Core 3 201TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth is 83.2 GB/s for the AMD part and 76.8 GB/s for the Intel part. ECC memory is not supported on the Ryzen 5 8600G but is supported on the Core 3 201TE. PCIe generation and lane counts also differ: the AMD part uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes.

Cache sizes diverge as well. The Ryzen 5 8600G has 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Core 3 201TE has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. Die size is 178 mm² for the AMD part and 163 mm² for the Intel part.

The integrated graphics differ: Radeon 760M on the AMD side versus UHD Graphics 730 on the Intel side. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel part is locked. The AMD part has a launch MSRP of $229, while the Intel part has a launch MSRP of $134.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 8600G is built on the Zen 4 architecture with the codename Phoenix, from the 8000 series. It uses a 4 nm process node fabricated by TSMC and contains 25,000 million transistors. The Intel Core 3 201TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename from the Core 3 generation, built on a 10 nm process node fabricated by Intel. The Intel part lists no transistor count in the database.

The L1 cache per core is smaller on the AMD part at 64 KB versus 80 KB on the Intel part. The L2 cache per core is also smaller on the AMD part at 1 MB versus 1.25 MB on the Intel part. However, the shared L3 cache is larger on the AMD part at 16 MB versus 12 MB on the Intel part.

The AMD part integrates Radeon 760M graphics, while the Intel part integrates UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part supports DDR5 memory exclusively, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, which reflects different memory controller designs. The AMD part uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the Intel part uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, indicating a newer PCIe standard on the Intel side but fewer lanes.

The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, enabling overclocking, while the Intel part is locked. The Intel part supports ECC memory, which the AMD part does not. The AMD part has a transistor count of 25,000 million and a die size of 178 mm², while the Intel part has no transistor count listed and a die size of 163 mm².

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 8600G wins on measured performance. The database records scores for the Ryzen 5 8600G in Cinebench R15, R20, and R23, Geekbench, 3DMark, and Passmark, with an average benchmark score of 24089. The Intel Core 3 201TE has no recorded benchmark scores, so any performance comparison is one-sided.

The AMD part also wins on core count, thread count, base clock, boost clock, L3 cache size, memory bandwidth, and process node. It has 6 cores versus 4, 12 threads versus 8, a 4.30 GHz base versus 2.90 GHz, a 5.00 GHz boost versus 4.60 GHz, 16 MB of L3 versus 12 MB, 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth versus 76.8 GB/s, and a 4 nm node versus 10 nm. These advantages suggest stronger multi-threaded throughput and higher single-thread clock speeds in workloads that scale with core count or clock frequency.

The Intel Core 3 201TE wins on ECC memory support, which the AMD part lacks. It also supports DDR4 memory, offering broader memory compatibility, and uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, which is a newer PCIe standard than the Gen 4 with 20 lanes on the AMD part. The Intel part has a lower TDP of 45 watts versus 65 watts, indicating lower power draw. The Intel part also has a larger L1 cache per core at 80 KB versus 64 KB and a larger L2 cache per core at 1.25 MB versus 1 MB.

The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $134, while the AMD part has a launch MSRP of $229. The database does not include any performance figures for the Intel part, so the lower cost and ECC support are the only recorded advantages for that chip. For workloads that rely on verified benchmark scores, multi-threaded rendering, or higher clock speeds, the AMD Ryzen 5 8600G is the only part with supporting data. For workloads that require ECC memory or DDR4 compatibility, the Intel Core 3 201TE is the only part with those capabilities.
