AMD Ryzen 7 160 vs Intel Core 3 201TE Comparison

The database holds a benchmark profile for the AMD Ryzen 7 160 and no benchmark profile for the Intel Core 3 201TE. The Ryzen 7 160 records an average benchmark score of 37117 and sits at the 85th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Core 3 201TE records an average benchmark score of 0 and sits at the 50th percentile. That asymmetry is central to this comparison: one part has measured results, the other does not.

The Verdict

Strictly from the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 7 160 is the only processor in this pairing with measured performance. Its average benchmark score of 37117 places it next to a tight cluster of rivals: the Intel Core i9-12900T at 37112, the Intel Core i7-13700 at 37135, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 at 37093, and the AMD Ryzen 7 7735H at 37161. The recorded deltas are 0, 0, 0.1, and -0.1 respectively, so the Ryzen 7 160 sits inside a narrow band of comparable average scores. The Intel Core 3 201TE has no benchmark scores and an average benchmark score of 0, so no measured-performance verdict can be assigned to it. Its 50th percentile standing is not supported by any recorded benchmark score. For any selection based on benchmark results, the Ryzen 7 160 is the only option with data behind it.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design lineages. The AMD Ryzen 7 160 uses the Zen 3+ architecture, codename Rembrandt-R, built on TSMC's 6 nm process with a 210 mm² die. The Intel Core 3 201TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename on Intel's 10 nm process with a 163 mm² die; the database does not record an architecture name for the Intel part. AMD pairs 8 cores and 16 threads with a 2.70 base clock and a 4.75 boost clock. Intel pairs 4 cores and 8 threads with a 2.90 base clock and a 4.60 boost clock. The AMD TDP is 28, while the Intel TDP is 45.

Cache hierarchies differ as well. The AMD part provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel part provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. Memory support also diverges. The Ryzen 7 160 supports DDR5 only; the Core 3 201TE supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory and share a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, and both support ECC memory.

The AMD socket is AMD Socket FP7, while the Intel socket is Intel Socket 1700. The Ryzen 7 160 exposes PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the Core 3 201TE exposes PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics differ: Radeon 680M on the AMD part, UHD Graphics 730 on the Intel part. The AMD part is marked as Mobile, the Intel part as Desktop. The AMD release date is 2025-09-30, and the Intel release date is 2025-01-12. Both are Active production parts, and both have locked multipliers. The part numbers are 100-000000991(FP7r2) for the AMD part and SRPKDQ5CK for the Intel part.

Where Each One Wins

Every recorded benchmark win in this comparison belongs to the AMD Ryzen 7 160, because the database contains no benchmark scores for the Intel Core 3 201TE. The AMD part has scores in data compression, data encryption, extended instructions, prime number finding, floating point math, integer math, multithreading, physics, random string sorting, and single-threaded work. The Intel part has no recorded wins in any of these categories. For workloads represented by those tests, the Ryzen 7 160 is the only processor with measured evidence.

The two largest AMD results are data compression at 242634 and integer math at 81370. The Intel part's platform features, such as DDR4/DDR5 support and PCIe Gen 5, are not benchmark wins and cannot be used to assign a performance use-case win. The use-case split is therefore one-sided: AMD wins all measured compute categories, while Intel wins none.

A: The Ryzen 7 160's average score of 37117 sits next to the Intel Core i9-12900T at 37112, the Intel Core i7-13700 at 37135, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 at 37093, and the AMD Ryzen 7 7735H at 37161, with deltas of 0, 0, 0.1, and -0.1 respectively.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database has no paired head-to-head benchmark results for this processor pairing. The only benchmark scores present belong to the AMD part, so the largest available win for the AMD side is data compression at 242634. The next largest AMD scores are integer math at 81370, random string sorting at 25981, extended instructions at 16170, and data encryption at 15520. The multithread score is 12237, floating point math is 6673, physics is 793, and find prime numbers is 43. The single-thread score is 3435, and it appears twice in the recorded benchmark set. There are no Intel-side benchmark scores, so there are no Intel wins to walk through in this matchup.
