AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U vs Intel Core 3 201TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data does not contain direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U and the Intel Core 3 201TE. The database shows no shared test scores for these two processors, meaning a side-by-side comparison must be built from the available individual measurements and the Intel part's known performance class.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U has a full suite of benchmark scores. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it records 20,254 points, while its single-core result is 2,859. Cinebench R20 multi-core reaches 8,506, with a single-core score of 1,200. Cinebench R15 multi-core is 2,041 and single-core is 288. The PassMark suite shows a multi-thread score of 23,850, a single-thread score of 3,641, integer math at 88,339, floating point math at 50,746, data compression at 272,664, data encryption at 16,441, extended instructions at 19,132, prime number finding at 76, random string sorting at 33,109, and physics at 1,174. Its average benchmark score is 32,233, and it sits at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs.

The Intel Core 3 201TE, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as zero, and its percentile is 50. This means the database cannot directly quantify how the two parts compare on any specific workload. The only meaningful statement is that the AMD part has verified performance data placing it well above the midpoint of all CPUs, while the Intel part is positioned at the 50th percentile with no measured scores to confirm its actual speed.

Given the absence of head-to-head results, any inference about relative performance must rely on architectural and specification differences, which are covered in later sections. The data simply does not support a numeric comparison of these two processors in any benchmark.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two processors is substantial. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core 3 201TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename with a 10 nm process at Intel, and its die size is 163 mm² with no transistor count listed.

The core design differs in cache layout. The AMD part allocates 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel part allocates 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. This means the Intel part has larger per-core L1 and L2 allocations, but the AMD part has 4 MB more shared L3.

The memory controllers also differ. The AMD processor supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel access and a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but with a lower memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Intel part offers broader memory compatibility but at a reduced peak bandwidth.

PCIe connectivity is another split. The AMD part uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part has a newer PCIe generation, but fewer lanes.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD part includes Radeon 780M, while the Intel part includes UHD Graphics 730. Both are integrated solutions, but the database does not provide comparative graphics benchmark scores.

The production status for both is active. The AMD part targets the mobile segment with a 28 W TDP, while the Intel part targets desktop with a 45 W TDP. The AMD part was released on 2024-04-15, and the Intel part on 2025-01-12.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core 3 201TE has 4 cores and 8 threads. Base clocks are 3.30 GHz for AMD and 2.90 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks are 5.10 GHz for AMD and 4.60 GHz for Intel.

The TDP values are 28 W for AMD and 45 W for Intel. The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP7, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. The process nodes are 4 nm for AMD and 10 nm for Intel. The foundry is TSMC for AMD and Intel for Intel.

Cache configurations differ as described above. The AMD part has 16 MB of shared L3, while the Intel part has 12 MB. The AMD part has 64 KB L1 per core and 1 MB L2 per core; the Intel part has 80 KB L1 per core and 1.25 MB L2 per core.

Memory support is DDR5 only for AMD, versus DDR4 and DDR5 for Intel. Memory bandwidth is 89.6 GB/s for AMD and 76.8 GB/s for Intel. PCIe is Gen 4 with 20 lanes for AMD and Gen 5 with 16 lanes for Intel. Both support ECC memory.

The integrated graphics are Radeon 780M for AMD and UHD Graphics 730 for Intel. The market segments are mobile for AMD and desktop for Intel. The release dates are 2024-04-15 for AMD and 2025-01-12 for Intel. The launch MSRP is absent for AMD and $134 for Intel. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear performance hierarchy, though not through direct comparison. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U has a verified average benchmark score of 32,233 and sits at the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Core 3 201TE has no measured scores and sits at the 50th percentile, which is the database's default midpoint for unmeasured parts.

The AMD part's core count is double that of the Intel part: 8 cores and 16 threads versus 4 cores and 8 threads. Its boost clock is higher at 5.10 GHz versus 4.60 GHz. Its memory bandwidth is higher at 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s. Its process node is smaller at 4 nm versus 10 nm. These specification advantages align with the AMD part's higher percentile rank.

The Intel part does have advantages in specific areas. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, whereas the AMD part supports only DDR5. It uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, a newer generation than the AMD part's Gen 4 with 20 lanes. It has a larger per-core L1 and L2 cache allocation. Its launch MSRP is $134, while the AMD part has no listed launch MSRP.

For buyers choosing between these two, the data favors the AMD part on raw computational capability. The benchmark evidence is substantial for AMD and nonexistent for Intel. However, the Intel part's broader memory support and newer PCIe generation could matter for specific desktop configurations. The AMD part is mobile-oriented with a lower TDP of 28 W, while the Intel part is desktop-oriented with 45 W.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U wins on measured performance. Every benchmark score in the database belongs to this processor, and its 83rd percentile rank indicates it outperforms the vast majority of all CPUs. Its 8-core, 16-thread configuration gives it a clear advantage in multi-threaded workloads, which is reflected in its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20,254 and PassMark multi-thread score of 23,850. Its single-thread performance is also strong, with a PassMark single-thread score of 3,641 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,859.

The Intel Core 3 201TE wins on flexibility and platform features. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, allowing use with older or newer memory kits. Its PCIe Gen 5 interface provides a newer standard for high-speed peripherals, though with fewer lanes (16 versus 20). Its larger per-core L1 and L2 cache allocations could benefit workloads that are sensitive to per-core cache latency, though no benchmark data confirms this. Its desktop form factor with a 45 W TDP and Intel Socket 1700 makes it suitable for standard desktop builds, while the AMD part targets mobile systems with a 28 W TDP and AMD Socket FP7.

The Intel part also has a lower launch MSRP at $134, though the AMD part has no listed price for comparison. The Intel part's 50th percentile rank is the database's default for unmeasured processors, so it should not be interpreted as a verified performance level. The AMD part's 83rd percentile is derived from actual measurements.

In terms of release timing, the Intel part is newer, released on 2025-01-12, while the AMD part came out on 2024-04-15. Both are active production parts. The AMD part has a smaller die at 178 mm² versus 163 mm² for Intel, but the AMD die packs 25,000 million transistors on a 4 nm node, whereas Intel's transistor count is not listed.

For users prioritizing verified multi-core and single-core performance, the database clearly supports the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U. For users needing a desktop processor with DDR4 compatibility, PCIe Gen 5, and a listed launch price, the Intel Core 3 201TE is the only option among the two. The data does not provide a direct head-to-head result, so the final choice depends on which factors matter more: measured compute performance or platform flexibility.
