AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 vs Intel Core 3 201TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains no direct head-to-head measurements for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 and the Intel Core 3 201TE. The head-to-head benchmark field is empty, and neither processor has a recorded win in direct comparison tests. This absence of direct comparison data is itself informative: the Ryzen AI 7 345 has a substantial set of benchmark scores recorded, while the Core 3 201TE has no benchmark entries at all in the current database.

What can be examined is the Ryzen AI 7 345's performance profile against the broader CPU population. The AMD processor sits at the 81st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29,461. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X at 29,447 (a 0% delta), the AMD EPYC 9654 at 29,409 (0.2% ahead of the Ryzen AI 7 345), and the Intel Core i5-13500HX at 29,270 (0.7% behind). The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE scores 29,656, which places it 0.7% ahead of the Ryzen AI 7 345. These tight deltas, all within 0.7% of each other, indicate that the Ryzen AI 7 345's aggregate performance lands squarely in a competitive cluster of desktop and mobile processors.

Looking at the Ryzen AI 7 345's individual benchmark results, the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11,461 and single-core score of 1,818 show a processor capable of both threaded and single-threaded workloads. The Cinebench R15 results of 1,712 multi-core and 271 single-core follow a similar pattern. In Passmark tests, the data compression score of 237,484 stands out as particularly strong, while data encryption reaches 11,814, extended instructions 17,003, and find prime numbers 62. Floating point math scores 42,621, integer math 63,475, and multithread 19,927. Physics testing yields 1,089, random string sorting 25,435, and single-thread performance 3,875. The average benchmark score of 29,461 across all recorded tests reinforces the consistency of this processor's output.

The Intel Core 3 201TE, by contrast, has zero recorded benchmarks, a 50th percentile ranking, and an average benchmark score of zero. This means the database cannot confirm any performance advantage for either processor in direct comparison. The Ryzen AI 7 345's percentile ranking of 81 versus the Core 3 201TE's percentile of 50 does suggest that, based on the broader CPU population, the AMD part is positioned higher in the performance distribution. However, without direct head-to-head scores, any specific performance margin between these two specific processors remains unquantified in the database.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two processors is substantial. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 uses the Krackan Point codename, belongs to the Ryzen AI 300 generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, and is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core 3 201TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, belongs to the Core 3 generation, and is fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel. The process node difference, 4 nm versus 10 nm, is significant and likely contributes to differences in power efficiency and transistor density, though the database does not list transistor counts for either part.

Core and thread counts diverge clearly: the AMD processor offers 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel processor offers 4 cores and 8 threads. Both have the same boost clock of 4.60 GHz, but the base clocks differ, with the AMD part at 2.00 GHz and the Intel part at 2.90 GHz. The thermal design power also differs, with the AMD processor rated at 28 watts and the Intel processor at 45 watts.

Cache hierarchies show notable differences. Both processors use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The L2 cache is 1 MB per core on the AMD side and 1.25 MB per core on the Intel side. The L3 cache differs more substantially: the AMD processor has 4 MB total, while the Intel processor has 12 MB shared. This larger L3 cache on the Intel part could benefit workloads that repeatedly access a moderately sized working set.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, while the Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use a dual-channel memory bus. The memory bandwidth figures show the AMD processor at 89.6 GB/s and the Intel processor at 76.8 GB/s, a difference of 12.8 GB/s in favor of AMD. ECC memory support is present on the Intel processor but absent on the AMD processor.

PCIe connectivity differs in both generation and lane count. The AMD processor uses PCIe Gen 4 with 14 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel processor uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD processor includes a Radeon 840M, while the Intel processor includes UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part is a mobile segment processor on AMD Socket FP8, whereas the Intel part is a desktop segment processor on Intel Socket 1700. The Intel processor has a die size of 163 mm², while the AMD processor's die size is not recorded.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear asymmetry. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 has a full set of benchmark results and ranks at the 81st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29,461. The Intel Core 3 201TE has no recorded benchmarks, an average benchmark score of zero, and ranks at the 50th percentile. The absence of direct head-to-head results means the database cannot certify a performance winner in specific tests, but the aggregate evidence points to the AMD processor occupying a higher performance tier.

The AMD processor also carries architectural advantages that the recorded data supports: more cores, more threads, a smaller process node, higher memory bandwidth, and a lower TDP. These specifications suggest that for workloads that scale with core count or benefit from memory throughput, the Ryzen AI 7 345 is positioned favorably. The Intel processor counters with a higher base clock, larger L3 cache, ECC memory support, PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, and a lower launch MSRP of $134.

The Intel processor is a desktop part, while the AMD processor is a mobile part, which means the intended usage environments differ. The Intel part's 45 watt TDP and Socket 1700 platform target conventional desktop builds, while the AMD part's 28 watt TDP and FP8 socket target mobile systems. The choice between them depends on the platform requirement: a desktop system with ECC support and PCIe Gen 5 favors the Intel processor, while a mobile system with higher memory bandwidth and more threads favors the AMD processor.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 wins in scenarios where thread count and memory bandwidth matter. Its 6 cores and 12 threads exceed the Intel part's 4 cores and 8 threads, which should benefit multi-threaded workloads such as video rendering, compilation, and scientific computing. The 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth versus 76.8 GB/s gives the AMD part an edge in memory-intensive applications. The 4 nm process node and 28 watt TDP indicate higher power efficiency, which is relevant for mobile devices where battery life and thermal limits are constraints. The recorded benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11,461 and a Passmark multithread score of 19,927, confirm that the AMD processor delivers measurable multi-threaded performance.

The Intel Core 3 201TE wins in scenarios where platform features and single-core frequency matter. Its base clock of 2.90 GHz is higher than the AMD part's 2.00 GHz, which could translate to stronger performance in lightly threaded workloads that depend on sustained clock speed. The 12 MB shared L3 cache is three times larger than the AMD part's 4 MB, potentially improving performance in workloads with moderate working sets that fit in cache. ECC memory support makes the Intel processor suitable for error-sensitive computing environments. PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes provides newer, higher-bandwidth connectivity for expansion cards and storage devices. The desktop form factor and Socket 1700 platform offer a conventional upgrade and assembly path. The launch MSRP of $134 provides a reference price point, though the database does not record a comparable price for the AMD part.
