AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 vs Intel Core 3 201TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive performance advantage for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 across every measured workload. The Intel Core 3 201TE has no benchmark entries in the database, meaning direct score comparisons are impossible. However, the AMD processor's average benchmark score of 37093 places it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel part sits at the 50th percentile with an average score of zero. This gap alone indicates that the AMD chip delivers substantially higher performance in the database's test suite.

Focusing on the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450's measured results, the multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 16054 demonstrates strong parallel processing capability. The single-core R23 result of 2010 shows competitive per-thread performance. In Cinebench R15, the same processor scores 2457 in multi-core and 220 in single-core tests. These figures establish a baseline for what the AMD processor achieves, and the Intel Core 3 201TE has no comparable data points in the database.

PassMark workloads further characterize the AMD processor's strengths. Integer math scores 86227, floating point math reaches 52971, and extended instructions produce 20778. Data compression hits 294298, while data encryption reaches 14925. Random string sorting scores 32344, and prime number finding yields 84. The multi-thread PassMark result is 24779, with physics scoring 1337. Single-thread PassMark performance is 3955, which appears twice in the database with identical values.

The nearest rivals to the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450, based on average benchmark scores, include the Intel Core i9-12900T at 37112 (0.1% lower), the AMD Ryzen 7 160 at 37117 (0.1% lower), the Intel Core i7-13700 at 37135 (0.1% lower), and the AMD Ryzen 7 7735H at 37161 (0.2% lower). These margins are tiny, meaning the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 sits in a tightly contested performance tier. Its 85th percentile ranking confirms that it outperforms roughly 85% of all CPUs in the database, while the Intel Core 3 201TE's 50th percentile ranking places it exactly at the median.

Because the Intel Core 3 201TE has no benchmark scores, the head-to-head comparison relies on architectural and specification differences rather than direct measurements. The data clearly shows that the AMD processor carries the performance weight in this pairing, but the Intel part's absence from the benchmark suite leaves its actual capability unquantified.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the Gorgon Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation that combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core 3 201TE belongs to the Bartlett Lake generation with no specific architecture designation listed. The manufacturing process differs significantly: AMD uses a 4 nm node from TSMC, while Intel uses a 10 nm node from its own foundry. Die sizes are 195 mm² for AMD and 163 mm² for Intel, indicating different physical layouts and transistor densities despite the process disparity.

Core counts diverge sharply. The AMD processor provides 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel part offers 4 cores and 8 threads. This doubling of threads gives the AMD chip a structural advantage in multi-threaded workloads, assuming similar per-core efficiency. Clock speeds also differ: the AMD part runs at a 2.00 GHz base clock and boosts to 5.10 GHz, while the Intel part has a higher 2.90 GHz base clock but a lower 4.60 GHz boost clock. The higher boost ceiling on the AMD chip suggests stronger single-thread peak performance, though the Intel part's higher base clock may help sustained workloads under thermal constraints.

Cache hierarchies present notable differences. Both processors allocate 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD processor uses 1 MB of L2 per core, while the Intel processor uses 1.25 MB per core. Total L3 cache differs: the AMD chip has 8 MB of L3, while the Intel chip has 12 MB of shared L3. This gives Intel a larger last-level cache, which can help with frequently accessed data, but the AMD processor's smaller L3 is offset by its higher core count and faster boost clocks.

Memory support separates the two as well. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory over a dual-channel bus, achieving 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, but its bandwidth is listed at 76.8 GB/s. Both support ECC memory. The AMD part's higher memory bandwidth could benefit memory-intensive workloads, while the Intel part's DDR4 compatibility offers broader platform options.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation. The AMD processor uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel processor uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Gen 5 provides higher theoretical bandwidth per lane, but the AMD processor's lower power envelope may make Gen 4 adequate for its mobile-oriented design.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD processor includes Radeon 860M graphics, while the Intel part includes UHD Graphics 730. No benchmark scores are available for either iGPU, so performance comparisons cannot be quantified.

Thermal design power separates the two markedly. The AMD processor is rated at 28 W TDP, while the Intel processor is rated at 45 W TDP. The AMD part's lower power draw aligns with its mobile market segment, while the Intel part's higher TDP suits its desktop market segment. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP8, whereas the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700, reflecting their different platform ecosystems.

Production status for both is listed as Active. Release dates show the Intel processor launched earlier, on 2025-01-12, while the AMD processor followed with a 2026-01-04 release date. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not supported according to the data.

The Verdict

The benchmark data indicates that the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 is the higher-performing processor in this pairing. Its average benchmark score of 37093 and 85th percentile ranking place it among the top 15% of all CPUs in the database. The Intel Core 3 201TE, with no benchmark scores and a 50th percentile ranking, cannot match this measured performance level. Users who need maximum compute throughput should select the AMD processor based on the available evidence.

The AMD processor's 8 cores and 16 threads provide twice the thread count of the Intel part's 4 cores and 8 threads. Its 5.10 GHz boost clock exceeds the Intel part's 4.60 GHz boost. Its 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth surpasses the Intel part's 76.8 GB/s. These specification advantages align with the benchmark results that show the AMD processor competing with desktop-class CPUs like the Intel Core i7-13700 and Intel Core i9-12900T, both of which score within 0.2% of the AMD chip's average.

The Intel Core 3 201TE does hold advantages in specific areas. Its 12 MB of L3 cache exceeds the AMD part's 8 MB. Its 45 W TDP, while higher than the AMD part's 28 W, suggests a desktop-oriented design that may sustain performance differently under continuous load. Its PCIe Gen 5 support offers newer connectivity standards. Its 2.90 GHz base clock is higher than the AMD part's 2.00 GHz base clock, which could help in scenarios where boost clocks cannot be maintained.

However, these advantages do not translate into measured benchmark wins, as the Intel part has no scores in the database. The data-driven verdict favors the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 for raw performance, multi-threaded workloads, and efficiency. The Intel Core 3 201TE may appeal to users requiring DDR4 memory support, larger L3 cache, or PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, but its performance remains unverified.
