AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 vs Intel Core 3 201E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive sweep: the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 wins all 15 head-to-head benchmark comparisons, with no victories recorded for the Intel Core 3 201E. The margin is not uniform, however, and the pattern reveals where the AMD part is strongest and where the Intel part remains competitive.

The largest gap appears in PassMark integer math, where the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 scores 101,831 against 43,894 for the Intel Core 3 201E, a delta of 132%. That is the single biggest percentage advantage in the entire test set. Extended instructions follow closely, with the AMD part delivering 25,113 versus 11,035, a 127.6% lead. Data compression shows a 116% advantage (354,510 versus 164,160), and random string sorting shows a 121.8% lead (39,447 versus 17,783). These are all workloads that scale heavily with core count and thread throughput.

In Cinebench R15 multicore, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 scores 2,842 against 1,271, a 123.6% edge. The Cinebench R23 multicore result is less extreme but still substantial: 18,698 versus 12,613, a 48.2% advantage. PassMark multithread shows a 98.6% lead (29,467 versus 14,839), while PassMark physics shows a 49.3% lead (1,704 versus 1,141).

Single-thread results are much closer. In Cinebench R23 singlecore, the AMD part scores 1,992 versus 1,780, an 11.9% lead. PassMark single thread shows 3,841 versus 3,482, a 10.3% advantage. The same 10.3% delta appears in the duplicate PassMark singlethread entry. Cinebench R15 singlecore shows a larger relative gap, 303 versus 179, a 69.3% lead, though the absolute scores are low for both parts in that older test.

The remaining tests fall in between. PassMark data encryption shows a 104.9% lead (18,297 versus 8,931), find prime numbers shows a 105.3% lead (117 versus 57), and floating point math shows an 88.8% lead (62,802 versus 33,260).

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 sits at the 87th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 40,048. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 7700, averages 40,081, a delta of -0.1%, meaning the two are effectively tied in aggregate performance. The Intel Core 3 201E, by contrast, sits at the 73rd percentile with an average score of 19,056. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, averages 19,047, a delta of 0%, again indicating a near-tie within its own performance tier.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 is in a different performance class than the Intel Core 3 201E. The average benchmark score for the AMD part is 40,048, more than double the Intel part's 19,056. The percentile ranking confirms this: 87th versus 73rd.

For workloads that use many threads, the AMD part is the clear choice. The 10-core, 20-thread configuration delivers roughly double the throughput of the 4-core, 8-thread Intel part in most multithreaded tests. The Cinebench R23 multicore result, 18,698 versus 12,613, shows a 48.2% advantage that would be meaningful in rendering or batch processing.

For single-thread workloads, the gap narrows considerably. The 10.3% lead in PassMark single thread and the 11.9% lead in Cinebench R23 singlecore suggest that the Intel part, despite having fewer cores, has competitive per-core performance. A user running lightly threaded applications would notice only a modest difference.

The Intel Core 3 201E does hold one advantage in the specification data: it supports ECC memory, while the AMD part does not. That feature, combined with its 60 TDP and desktop socket, positions it for reliability-oriented embedded or workstation use. The AMD part, with its 28 TDP and mobile socket, targets power-sensitive mobile platforms.

The choice is straightforward from the benchmark data. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 delivers superior performance across every recorded test, with the largest margins in multithreaded and data-heavy workloads. The Intel Core 3 201E offers ECC support and a lower average score, making it suitable only where that specific feature is a requirement.

Architecture Differences

The two processors use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 is built on the Zen 5 architecture with the Strix Point codename, using a 4 nm process from TSMC. It belongs to the Ryzen AI 300 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The die size is 233 mm².

The Intel Core 3 201E uses the Bartlett Lake codename with a 10 nm process from Intel's own foundry. Its generation is listed simply as Core 3 (Bartlett Lake), and the die size is 163 mm². The architecture field is null in the database, but the codename and generation place it in Intel's recent desktop lineup.

Cache organization differs notably. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 per core. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 per core, while the Intel part has 1.25 MB per core. The L3 cache is 16 MB total for the AMD part, versus 12 MB shared for the Intel part. Neither part has 3D V-Cache.

The integrated graphics also differ. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 uses the Radeon 880M, while the Intel Core 3 201E uses UHD Graphics 730. The database does not include graphics benchmarks, so only the presence and naming can be noted.

The AMD part uses the AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part uses the Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part is a 4 nm TSMC design, whereas the Intel part is a 10 nm Intel foundry design. These are the core architectural distinctions that drive the performance differences seen in the benchmarks.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every major specification field. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 has 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel Core 3 201E has 4 cores and 8 threads. The base clock is 2.00 GHz for the AMD part versus 3.60 GHz for the Intel part, but the boost clock is 5.00 GHz versus 4.80 GHz. The Intel part starts higher but boosts lower.

Thermal design power differs substantially: 28 W for the AMD part versus 60 W for the Intel part. This aligns with the market segments: the AMD part is listed as Mobile, while the Intel part is listed as Desktop.

Memory support differs. The AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The memory bandwidth is 89.6 GB/s for the AMD part versus 76.8 GB/s for the Intel part. ECC memory is supported only on the Intel part.

PCIe generation differs: the AMD part uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part supports the newer PCIe standard.

Release dates differ. The AMD part was released on 2024-06-30, while the Intel part was released on 2025-01-12. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $134, which can be stated once as recorded. The AMD part has no launch MSRP field.

Neither part has an unlocked multiplier. The part numbers are 100-000001530 for AMD and SRVTR for Intel. Both are listed as Active in production status.
