AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX vs Intel Core 3 201TE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX dominates the comparison across every recorded benchmark category. The database shows the Ryzen 7 8745HX achieving a multithread score of 31,517, a single-thread score of 3,879, and an average benchmark score of 60,104. The Intel Core 3 201TE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, and its average benchmark score is listed as 0. This means the Ryzen 7 8745HX wins all 11 recorded benchmark tests by default, as the Intel part has no entries to compare against.

The Ryzen 7 8745HX delivers particularly strong results in integer math with a score of 100,328, floating point math at 61,972, and data compression at 363,759. The extended instructions score of 27,638 and random string sorting at 44,494 further establish its lead in compute-heavy tasks. The Intel Core 3 201TE, lacking any benchmark records, cannot challenge any of these figures.

The Ryzen 7 8745HX sits at the 92nd percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the Intel Core 3 201TE sits at the 50th percentile. The gap in percentile positioning reflects the complete absence of measured performance data for the Intel part, rather than a direct head-to-head comparison.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Dragon Range codename, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Intel Core 3 201TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename on a 10 nm process at Intel, offering 4 cores and 8 threads at a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz.

The transistor counts differ sharply. The AMD part contains 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die, while the Intel part has no transistor count listed but occupies a 163 mm² die. The smaller die with more transistors points to the density advantage of the 5 nm process node.

Cache layouts also diverge. The Ryzen 7 8745HX carries 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core 3 201TE has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD processor provides more than double the total L3 cache, which benefits workloads with large working sets.

Memory support differs as well. The Ryzen 7 8745HX supports DDR5 memory only, with dual-channel operation and a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The Intel Core 3 201TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The AMD part also lacks ECC memory support, while the Intel part supports ECC.

PCIe configurations separate the two further. The Ryzen 7 8745HX provides Gen 5 with 28 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel Core 3 201TE provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The AMD part uses AMD Socket FL1 and targets the mobile market segment, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700 and targets the desktop segment. The AMD processor has an unlocked multiplier, the Intel processor does not.

Integrated graphics also differ: the Ryzen 7 8745HX uses Radeon 610M, while the Intel Core 3 201TE uses UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part released on 2025-04-22, the Intel part on 2025-01-12.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX in every measurable category. It has double the cores and threads, higher base and boost clocks, more L3 cache, higher memory bandwidth, and more PCIe lanes. Its benchmark scores, where present, place it at the 92nd percentile of all CPUs, and its average benchmark score of 60,104 places it alongside high-end desktop parts like the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX (60,099 average) and the Intel Core i9-14900F (60,008 average).

The Intel Core 3 201TE offers no recorded benchmark data, which makes quantitative comparison impossible. What the database does show is a 4-core, 8-thread desktop processor with a 45 W TDP, DDR4 and DDR5 memory support, ECC memory capability, and a launch MSRP of $134. Its 50th percentile ranking reflects the absence of scores rather than a measured performance level.

For workloads that depend on multithreading, the Ryzen 7 8745HX delivers a multithread score of 31,517. For single-thread responsiveness, it delivers 3,879. The Intel Core 3 201TE cannot be assessed on either metric from the recorded data. The only scenario where the Intel part appears more suitable from the available facts is one requiring ECC memory support, a feature the AMD part does not offer, or one constrained to the LGA1700 desktop platform.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between these two processors, and the Intel Core 3 201TE has no individual benchmark scores recorded. As a result, every comparison must rely on the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX's measured results and the Intel part's structural specifications.

The Ryzen 7 8745HX records its strongest absolute score in data compression at 363,759. Its data encryption score of 21,840 and extended instructions score of 27,638 show solid performance in security-related and specialized instruction workloads. The find prime numbers score of 159 and physics score of 1,681 are lower absolute numbers but still represent recorded results that the Intel part cannot match, as it has no entries.

Floating point math at 61,972 and integer math at 100,328 indicate the Ryzen 7 8745HX handles both numeric processing styles effectively. Random string sorting at 44,494 suggests strong memory subsystem performance, consistent with its 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth and 32 MB of L3 cache.

The nearest rivals to the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX in the database are the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX with an average score of 60,099 and a delta of 0%, the Intel Core i9-14900F at 60,008 with a delta of 0.2%, the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D at 59,641 with a delta of 0.8%, and the Intel Xeon Gold 6338T at 60,572 with a delta of -0.8%. These deltas show the Ryzen 7 8745HX sits within a narrow band of high-performance processors, slightly ahead of the Ryzen 9 7945HX and Core i9-14900F, and slightly behind the Xeon Gold 6338T. The Intel Core 3 201TE has no nearest rivals listed, reinforcing its lack of measured data.
