AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 vs Intel Core 3 201TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents a challenge for a direct comparison: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 has a full suite of benchmark results, while the Intel Core 3 201TE has no scores recorded in the database. As a result, the head-to-head analysis relies entirely on the AMD processor's measured performance against its nearest rivals, which include Intel and AMD server and desktop parts.

The Ryzen AI 5 330 delivers a multi-core score of 7,840 in Cinebench R23. Its single-core result in the same test is 1,812. In the older Cinebench R15 suite, it scores 1,191 multi-core and 199.9 single-core. These results place the processor at the 73rd percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 18,811.

The nearest rival data shows how tightly grouped the AMD part is with its competition. The Intel Core i7-1355U averages 18,730, which is only 0.4% behind the Ryzen AI 5 330. The AMD EPYC 7643 scores 18,697, a 0.6% deficit. The Intel Core i5-12400 averages 18,683, sitting 0.7% lower. On the other side, the AMD EPYC 7773X averages 18,979, which puts it 0.9% ahead of the Ryzen AI 5 330. These deltas are all within a single percentage point, indicating that the Ryzen AI 5 330 performs in a very tight band alongside these established parts.

In PassMark tests, the Ryzen AI 5 330 shows clear strengths in specific workloads. Its integer math score is 37,771, while floating point math reaches 26,196. Extended instructions (SIMD) score 11,124. Data compression hits 152,012, and data encryption reaches 7,251. The processor also records 12,797 in PassMark's multithread test and 3,515 in single-thread performance. Physics testing yields 705, and random string sorting scores 16,188. The find prime numbers test produces a score of 42.

Because the Intel Core 3 201TE has no benchmark entries, the database shows zero wins for each processor in a head-to-head context. The wins for the AMD part are established only through comparison with its nearest rivals, not against the Intel Core 3 201TE directly.

Where Each One Wins

For the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330, the recorded benchmarks establish a profile that excels in mixed workload scenarios. The processor's PassMark multithread score of 12,797 and its Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 7,840 indicate strong parallel performance for a 4-core, 8-thread part. The data compression score of 152,012 is notably high, suggesting efficient handling of memory-bound and I/O-bound tasks. Encryption at 7,251 and extended instructions at 11,124 reinforce the processor's capability in compute-intensive operations.

The single-thread PassMark score of 3,515, combined with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1,812, shows that the Ryzen AI 5 330 also handles lightly threaded workloads well. The 73rd percentile ranking across all CPUs confirms that this processor sits above the median performance level in the database.

For the Intel Core 3 201TE, the absence of benchmark data means the database cannot attribute any wins to this processor. Its percentile ranking of 50 places it at the median of all CPUs, but without measured scores, no workload-specific strengths can be identified. The processor's specification sheet suggests it targets the desktop segment with a 45 W TDP and Intel Socket 1700 compatibility, but the recorded data does not support any performance claims.

The use-case split is therefore one-sided in the available data. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 shows measurable strengths across multi-threaded compute, encryption, compression, and single-thread responsiveness. The Intel Core 3 201TE has no recorded wins because no benchmarks exist for it in the database.
