Intel Core 3 201E vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 3 201E and the Intel Core i5-14401TE occupy different tiers within the same socket generation, and the recorded benchmark data shows a clear separation in measured performance. The Core 3 201E has a full suite of benchmark scores, while the Core i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, leaving its performance profile defined only by architectural specifications and the absence of direct measurements.

The Core 3 201E delivers a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12613, a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1780, and a Cinebench R20 multicore score of 5297 with a single-core score of 747. In Cinebench R15, the multicore result is 1271 and the single-core result is 179. These results place the Core 3 201E in the 73rd percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 19056.

The database contains no benchmark scores for the Core i5-14401TE. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its percentile ranks at 50, indicating that the recorded data does not include any direct measurements for this processor. The head-to-head benchmark table is empty, and both win counters show zero. Consequently, any comparison between the two must rely on the architectural data present in the database, not on measured test outcomes.

The Core 3 201E’s nearest rivals provide context for its scores. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS records an average score of 19047, a 0 percent difference from the Core 3 201E’s 19056. The Intel Core i5-12400F scores 19039, a 0.1 percent difference. The Intel Core i5-1335U scores 18982, a 0.4 percent difference, and the AMD EPYC 7773X scores 18979, also a 0.4 percent difference. These figures indicate that the Core 3 201E sits nearly even with the Ryzen 5 7535HS and the Core i5-12400F, and just ahead of the Core i5-1335U and the EPYC 7773X in aggregate scoring.

The Core 3 201E’s PassMark results show a single-thread score of 3482, a multithread score of 14839, integer math at 43894, floating-point math at 33260, extended instructions at 11035, data compression at 164160, and data encryption at 8931. The find prime numbers test yields 57, physics scores 1141, and random string sorting scores 17783. These figures describe a processor that handles integer-heavy and compression workloads with substantial throughput relative to its thread count of 8.

The Core i5-14401TE, with 6 cores and 12 threads, presents a higher thread count than the Core 3 201E’s 4 cores and 8 threads. The absence of benchmark scores for the Core i5-14401TE means the database cannot confirm whether that extra thread count translates into higher measured performance. The database records the Core i5-14401TE’s base clock at 2.00 GHz and boost clock at 4.50 GHz, while the Core 3 201E runs at 3.60 GHz base and 4.80 GHz boost. The Core 3 201E thus holds a higher base clock by 1.60 GHz and a higher boost clock by 0.30 GHz.

Both processors use the Intel Socket 1700, and both are produced on Intel’s 10 nm process node. The Core 3 201E carries the codename Bartlett Lake, part of the Core 3 generation, while the Core i5-14401TE uses Raptor Lake-R, part of the Core 14th Gen series. The die size differs: the Core 3 201E measures 163 mm², the Core i5-14401TE measures 215 mm². The larger die on the Core i5-14401TE aligns with its additional cores and larger shared cache.

Cache allocations differ as well. Each core on both processors includes 80 KB of L1 cache and 1.25 MB of L2 cache. The L3 cache, however, is not equal: the Core 3 201E shares 12 MB, while the Core i5-14401TE shares 20 MB. That 8 MB difference in L3 capacity favors the Core i5-14401TE for workloads that repeatedly access a larger working set.

Memory support is identical in type: both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory with dual-channel access. The Core 3 201E lists a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, while the Core i5-14401TE has no bandwidth figure recorded. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity matches with Gen 5, 16 lanes available from the CPU only. Integrated graphics are the same UHD Graphics 730 on both parts.

Power specifications differ. The Core 3 201E has a TDP of 60, while the Core i5-14401TE has a TDP of 45. The lower TDP of the Core i5-14401TE, combined with a lower base clock, suggests a design oriented toward reduced sustained power draw, though the database provides no efficiency measurements to confirm this.

The Verdict

The data in the database supports a clear separation between these two processors, but the verdict depends on what aspect of the recorded information carries the most weight. The Core 3 201E has a complete set of benchmark results, a 73rd percentile ranking, and an average benchmark score of 19056. The Core i5-14401TE has no benchmark results, an average score of zero, and a 50th percentile ranking. From the perspective of measured performance, the Core 3 201E is the only processor in this comparison with demonstrated output.

The Core i5-14401TE offers more cores and threads, 6 cores and 12 threads against 4 cores and 8 threads, and a larger L3 cache, 20 MB against 12 MB. It also has a lower TDP, 45 against 60, and a lower boost clock, 4.50 GHz against 4.80 GHz. These specifications suggest the Core i5-14401TE could handle parallel workloads that scale beyond 8 threads with more capacity, but the database contains no scores to validate that expectation.

For users who require confirmed performance numbers, the Core 3 201E is the choice supported by the data. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12613 and single-core score of 1780, along with its PassMark multithread result of 14839, provide measurable reference points. The Core i5-14401TE remains an unquantified option in this database, and any selection based on its specifications alone carries the uncertainty of no recorded test outcomes.

The percentile gap also favors the Core 3 201E. A 73rd percentile placement against all CPUs in the database places it above the median, while the Core i5-14401TE sits at the 50th percentile, which represents the median position. The Core 3 201E’s average benchmark score of 19056 exceeds the Core i5-14401TE’s recorded average score of zero by the entirety of the measured sum, though that zero reflects missing data rather than a genuine performance floor.

Where Each One Wins

The Core 3 201E wins in every category where the database has recorded a benchmark score, because the Core i5-14401TE has no scores in any test category. In Cinebench R15, R20, and R23, both multicore and single-core, the Core 3 201E holds the only recorded numbers: 1271 and 179 for R15, 5297 and 747 for R20, and 12613 and 1780 for R23. In PassMark tests, the Core 3 201E records 3482 for single-thread, 14839 for multithread, 43894 for integer math, 33260 for floating-point math, 11035 for extended instructions, 164160 for data compression, 8931 for data encryption, 57 for find prime numbers, 1141 for physics, and 17783 for random string sorting.

The Core i5-14401TE wins only in architectural specifications that the database lists without corresponding benchmarks. It has 2 more cores and 4 more threads than the Core 3 201E. Its L3 cache of 20 MB is larger than the Core 3 201E’s 12 MB. Its TDP of 45 is lower than the Core 3 201E’s 60, which may indicate lower sustained power consumption, though no power measurements exist in the data. Its die size of 215 mm² is larger, and its base clock of 2.00 GHz is lower, which could translate into a different thermal profile, but again, the database does not provide thermal measurements.

For workloads that depend on high single-core responsiveness, the Core 3 201E’s boost clock of 4.80 GHz and its recorded single-thread PassMark score of 3482 provide evidence of strong per-thread performance. For workloads that rely on many concurrent threads, the Core i5-14401TE’s 12 threads offer theoretical headroom, but without benchmark confirmation, that headroom remains speculative.

Data compression and encryption tasks favor the Core 3 201E based on its PassMark compression score of 164160 and encryption score of 8931. Integer math at 43894 and floating-point math at 33260 further indicate a capable compute core for number-crunching tasks. The Core i5-14401TE has no equivalent scores, so no comparison is possible.

Core and thread counts form the primary architectural split. The Core 3 201E provides 4 cores and 8 threads; the Core i5-14401TE provides 6 cores and 12 threads, a 50 percent increase in both cores and threads. The L1 and L2 cache per core are identical across both parts: 80 KB per core for L1 and 1.25 MB per core for L2. The L3 cache differs substantially, with the Core 3 201E sharing 12 MB and the Core i5-14401TE sharing 20 MB, an 8 MB advantage for the latter.

Clock behavior also diverges. The Core 3 201E has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The Core i5-14401TE has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. The Core 3 201E therefore holds a 1.60 GHz higher base clock and a 0.30 GHz higher boost clock. Power specifications follow a different pattern: the Core 3 201E draws a TDP of 60, while the Core i5-14401TE draws a TDP of 45, a 15-point difference in favor of the Core i5-14401TE for lower nominal power.

Both processors support DDR4 and DDR5 memory with dual-channel access. The Core 3 201E lists a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s; the Core i5-14401TE does not have a bandwidth figure recorded. ECC memory support is present on both. PCIe capabilities match with Gen 5 and 16 lanes available from the CPU only. Integrated graphics are identical as UHD Graphics 730 on both processors.

The production status for both is active. The Core 3 201E has a launch MSRP of $134, while the Core i5-14401TE has no launch MSRP recorded. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not supported through that mechanism. The part numbers differ: SRVTR for the Core 3 201E and Q4T4SRNJP for the Core i5-14401TE. The market segment for both is Desktop.

The architectural data indicates that the Core i5-14401TE is designed for higher parallel throughput with more cores, more threads, and a larger L3 cache, while the Core 3 201E is designed for higher clock speeds and a smaller die footprint. The absence of benchmark scores for the Core i5-14401TE means the database cannot confirm whether its architectural advantages translate into performance gains. The Core 3 201E, by contrast, has a full set of measured results that place it in the 73rd percentile among all CPUs.
