AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS vs Intel Core 3 201E Comparison

The benchmark database places the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS and the Intel Core 3 201E in different performance classes. Across 15 recorded head-to-head tests, AMD wins 14 and Intel wins 1. The AMD part records an average benchmark score of 39603 and sits at the 87th percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel part averages 19056 and sits at the 73rd percentile. Those averages put AMD near rivals such as the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 at 39485 and the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D at 39768, while Intel sits near the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS at 19047 and the Intel Core i5-12400F at 19039.

Where Each One Wins

The split is clean. AMD wins every multithreaded test in the direct comparison: Cinebench R15 multicore, Cinebench R23 multicore, and PassMark multithread. It also wins every math-oriented test: PassMark integer math, floating point math, extended instructions, and find prime numbers. Data compression, data encryption, random string sorting, physics, and PassMark single-thread all go to AMD as well.

Intel's only win is Cinebench R23 single-core, where it scores 1780 against AMD's 1724, a margin of 3.1%. That isolated win does not carry over to other single-thread tests. AMD wins Cinebench R15 single-core by 51.7% and PassMark single-thread by 6%. The data indicates that Intel has a narrow advantage in one specific rendering workload, while AMD dominates the broader workload set.

Architecture Differences

The AMD part is built on Zen 4 architecture with the Hawk Point codename. It uses a 4 nm TSMC process and integrates 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel part uses the Bartlett Lake codename and a 10 nm Intel process on a 163 mm² die; no transistor count is recorded for it.

Core layout differs sharply. AMD provides 8 cores and 16 threads, with 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. Intel provides 4 cores and 8 threads, with 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. Intel's per-core caches are larger, but AMD has twice the cores and more shared L3.

Memory and I/O features also differ. AMD supports DDR5 with dual-channel bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and PCIe Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s and PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics are different as well: Radeon 780M on AMD versus UHD Graphics 730 on Intel. AMD's mobile segment and TDP of 28 contrast with Intel's desktop segment and TDP of 60.

The Verdict

The recorded data places the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS in a higher performance band. Its 39603 average score and 87th percentile compare with Intel's 19056 and 73rd percentile. The nearest-rival data reinforces the split: AMD's closest rivals average between 39215 and 39768, while Intel's closest rivals average between 18979 and 19047.

In the direct comparison, AMD wins 14 of 15 tests, with margins from 6% in PassMark single-thread to 113.2% in random string sorting. The Intel Core 3 201E holds one measured advantage: Cinebench R23 single-core, by 3.1%. For multithreaded rendering, math, encryption, compression, sorting, and most single-thread workloads, the AMD part is the stronger part in this dataset. The Intel part's only clear measured advantage is the specific Cinebench R23 single-core workload, and even there the margin is narrow.
