AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 vs Intel Core 3 201TE Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 is a 16-core, 32-thread mobile processor built on TSMC's 4 nm process, while the Intel Core 3 201TE is a 4-core, 8-thread desktop chip on Intel's 10 nm process. The database records no direct head-to-head benchmark scores between them, and the Intel Core 3 201TE has no individual benchmark entries in our measurements. Consequently, the analysis relies on the AMD part's recorded performance data, its percentile ranking, and the documented architectural and specification differences between the two processors.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 dominates in every measurable performance category recorded in the database. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35061 and single-core score of 2012.5 demonstrate leadership in both heavily threaded and lightly threaded workloads. The PassMark suite reinforces this across the board: integer math at 190720, floating point math at 120533, extended instructions at 52067, and multithreaded performance at 51502. Data compression reaches 639356, and data encryption hits 32840. These figures place the AMD part at the 95th percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 80762.

The Intel Core 3 201TE, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database and sits at the 50th percentile. Its average benchmark score is recorded as zero due to the absence of data. The clear implication is that the AMD processor wins in all scenarios where performance is the deciding factor. The Intel part's potential advantages lie in its desktop socket, Intel Socket 1700, and its PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 lanes, which are features the AMD mobile chip lacks. For users building a desktop system with the latest PCIe connectivity, the Intel processor offers that interface, but the recorded data provides no performance scores to suggest any computational win.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors, and the Intel Core 3 201TE lacks any individual benchmark records. The only quantitative comparison possible uses the AMD part's absolute scores and percentile position. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35061 and a single-core score of 2012.5. In Cinebench R15, it records 5247 multi-core and 306 single-core. These scores place it in the 95th percentile of all CPUs.

The Intel Core 3 201TE is recorded at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero. The nearest rivals to the AMD processor in the database illustrate its competitive positioning. The Intel Xeon 638 averages 80723, which is a 0 delta percentage. The Intel Xeon w5-2565X averages 80671, a 0.1 percent difference. The AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX averages 81103, a -0.4 percent difference, and the Intel Xeon w5-3535X averages 81115, also -0.4 percent. These deltas show the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 performing essentially on par with workstation-class Xeon processors, with the largest gap being 0.4 percent behind the two highest-scoring rivals.

PassMark results for the AMD part further define its capabilities. Single-thread performance is 4078, and multithread performance is 51502. Prime number finding scores 284, random string sorting scores 70150, and physics scores 3189. The data encryption score of 32840 and extended instructions score of 52067 round out the suite. Without any recorded scores for the Intel Core 3 201TE, the margin of victory cannot be quantified, but the AMD part's placement at the 95th percentile against a 50th percentile rival indicates a substantial performance separation.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 has 16 cores and 32 threads, while the Intel Core 3 201TE has 4 cores and 8 threads. Base clocks are close: 3.00 GHz for AMD versus 2.90 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks diverge more clearly, with AMD at 5.10 GHz and Intel at 4.60 GHz. Thermal design power is 55 watts for the AMD part and 45 watts for the Intel part.

Cache hierarchies differ in size and organization. Both chips have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD processor has 1 MB of L2 cache per core, while the Intel processor has 1.25 MB per core. Shared L3 cache is 64 MB on the AMD chip versus 12 MB on the Intel chip.

Memory support separates the two as well. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 uses LPDDR5X memory on a quad-channel bus with 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel Core 3 201TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5 on a dual-channel bus with 76.8 GB/s of bandwidth. Both processors support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity also differs: AMD provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes, while Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes.

The integrated graphics are distinct. The AMD part carries a Radeon 8060S, and the Intel part carries UHD Graphics 730. Sockets and market segments differ accordingly: the AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP11 and targets the mobile segment, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700 and targets the desktop segment. The AMD part has a die size not recorded in the database, whereas the Intel part has a die size of 163 mm². The Intel processor has a launch MSRP of $134. The AMD processor has no recorded launch MSRP.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 is built on the Zen 5 architecture under the Strix Halo codename, while the Intel Core 3 201TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename with no architecture field recorded. The AMD processor is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC, and the Intel processor is manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel. The process node difference is significant, as the 4 nm node allows for a higher transistor density, though the database does not record transistor counts for either chip.

The generation labels reflect the product families: AMD lists the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO (Zen 5) generation, and Intel lists the Core 3 (Bartlett Lake) generation. The AMD part's L3 cache of 64 MB shared across 16 cores provides a large pool for multi-threaded workloads. The Intel part's 12 MB shared L3 cache is smaller, consistent with its 4-core configuration. The per-core L2 cache is slightly larger on the Intel chip at 1.25 MB per core versus 1 MB per core on the AMD chip.

The AMD processor's memory architecture uses quad-channel LPDDR5X with 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is over three times the 76.8 GB/s of the Intel part's dual-channel DDR4/DDR5 setup. This memory bandwidth advantage is critical for integrated graphics performance and data-intensive tasks. The Intel processor compensates with PCIe Gen 5 support, offering 16 lanes of the newer standard, while the AMD part uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes. Both chips have locked multipliers, and both are active production parts. The AMD part was released on January 5, 2025, and the Intel part on January 12, 2025. The Intel part's part number is SRPKDQ5CK, and the AMD part's part number is 100-000001243.
