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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 3 201E is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark data, and the database shows it performing at a level that places it in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 19,056 places it in close company with several established desktop and mobile parts. The nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, scores 19,047, a difference of 0%. The Intel Core i5-12400F sits just behind at 19,039, also within 0.1%. The Intel Core i5-1335U and AMD EPYC 7773X round out the near-rival group with scores of 18,982 and 18,979 respectively, both within 0.4% of the Core 3 201E. This clustering indicates that the Core 3 201E delivers performance that is statistically indistinguishable from a range of well-known processors across different market tiers.

Looking at the Cinebench results for the Intel Core 3 201E, the multi-core scores show a clear progression across versions. In Cinebench R15, the processor records 1,271 points in multi-core. Cinebench R20 increases that to 5,297 points, and Cinebench R23 pushes the multi-core result to 12,613 points. Single-core results follow a similar scaling pattern: 179 points in R15, 747 points in R20, and 1,780 points in R23. The single-thread PassMark result of 3,482 confirms that the architecture handles lightly threaded workloads efficiently.

The PassMark suite reveals where the Core 3 201E concentrates its compute resources. The data compression test produces 164,160 points, which is the highest single score in the entire benchmark set for this processor. Integer math reaches 43,894 points, while floating point math reaches 33,260 points. The extended instructions test records 11,035 points. Random string sorting posts 17,783 points, and the multithread test delivers 14,839 points. Data encryption scores 8,931 points, physics simulation scores 1,141 points, and the prime number search test records 57 points.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450GE has no benchmark entries in the database, so no direct head-to-head score comparison is possible. The database records an average benchmark score of 0 for the Ryzen part and a percentile ranking of 50. The Intel part, by contrast, has a full suite of 17 recorded benchmark results. The absence of data for the AMD processor means that the recorded measurements only establish a performance baseline for the Intel Core 3 201E, and the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450GE cannot be positioned relative to it using benchmark scores alone.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 3 201E wins in every category where recorded data exists, but that is a function of data availability rather than a direct comparison. The PassMark results show the processor is strongest in data compression, where it records 164,160 points, a figure that towers over its integer math result of 43,894 and floating point math result of 33,260. The multithread score of 14,839 indicates that the 4-core, 8-thread configuration scales reasonably well in parallel workloads. The single-thread score of 3,482 shows that lightly threaded tasks such as everyday desktop responsiveness are well served.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450GE presents a different profile based on its specifications, even without benchmark scores. It uses 8 cores and 16 threads, double the thread count of the Intel part. The base clock of 2.00 GHz is lower than the Intel's 3.60 GHz, but the boost clock of 5.10 GHz exceeds the Intel's 4.80 GHz. The Ryzen part carries a 35 W TDP, which is lower than the Intel's 60 W TDP. In scenarios where sustained multi-threaded throughput matters, the Ryzen's core and thread advantage suggests an edge, while the Intel part's higher base clock and lower thread count point toward strengths in lightly threaded, latency-sensitive workloads.

The manufacturing processes reflect a significant generational gap: AMD uses a 4 nm process fabricated by TSMC, while Intel uses a 10 nm process fabricated by Intel.

The core architecture differences are substantial. The AMD part's Zen 5 / Zen 5c combination allows for 8 cores and 16 threads in a 35 W envelope, which indicates a design focused on efficiency per watt. The Intel Bartlett Lake design uses 4 cores and 8 threads in a 60 W envelope, which indicates a design that prioritizes higher base clocks over core count. The Intel part's L3 cache of 12 MB shared is larger than the AMD part's 8 MB L3, while the AMD part has a higher memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s.

The PCIe capabilities differ by generation. The AMD part provides Gen 4 with 12 CPU lanes, while the Intel part provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Both processors support ECC memory, though the AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X while the Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5, giving the AMD part a wider range of low-power memory options. The Intel part's launch MSRP is $134, and it was released on 2025-01-12, while the AMD part was released on 2026-03-01 with no launch MSRP recorded.
