Intel Core 3 201E vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-78-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the Intel Core 3 201E and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-78-100. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and neither processor records a win in direct competition. This absence of matched testing data means the two cannot be compared on identical workloads through the recorded measurements.

The Intel Core 3 201E has an extensive benchmark profile across Cinebench and Passmark suites. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 12613, while the single-core score reaches 1780. In Cinebench R20, the multicore result is 5297 and single-core is 747. The R15 generation shows 1271 multicore and 179 single-core. Passmark results include a multithread score of 14839, single-thread score of 3482, integer math at 43894, floating-point math at 33260, extended instructions at 11035, data compression at 164160, data encryption at 8931, find prime numbers at 57, random string sorting at 17783, and physics at 1141.

The Snapdragon X1E-78-100 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its percentile rank among all CPUs is 50. Without any recorded measurements, quantitative performance comparisons are impossible. The Intel part, by contrast, holds a percentile rank of 73 among all CPUs and an average benchmark score of 19056.

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core 3 201E provide useful context for its standing. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS scores 19047 on average, a delta of 0 percent. The Intel Core i5-12400F scores 19039, a delta of 0.1 percent. The Intel Core i5-1335U scores 18982, a delta of 0.4 percent. The AMD EPYC 7773X scores 18979, also a delta of 0.4 percent. These four processors cluster tightly around the Core 3 201E, with the largest gap being just 0.4 percent. The data indicates the Core 3 201E sits in a dense competitive band where single-digit percentage differences separate several distinct designs.

Where Each One Wins

For the Intel Core 3 201E, the recorded benchmarks show strengths across both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1780 and Passmark single-thread score of 3482 demonstrate solid per-thread performance. The multicore Cinebench R23 result of 12613, combined with the Passmark multithread score of 14839, shows the 4-core, 8-thread configuration scales reasonably across parallel tasks. The Passmark integer math score of 43894 and floating-point math score of 33260 indicate balanced arithmetic capability, while data compression at 164160 suggests strong throughput for compressible data streams.

The Snapdragon X1E-78-100 has no recorded wins in any benchmark category. With zero benchmark entries, the database offers no evidence of where this processor excels or struggles. Its 12-core, 12-thread configuration suggests parallel capability on paper, but without measurement data, no workload-based conclusions can be drawn. The processor's 50th percentile rank among all CPUs, compared to the Intel part's 73rd percentile, is the only relative positioning available, and even that comparison relies on different data completeness levels.

The Intel Core 3 201E clearly dominates the recorded data landscape, but this reflects data availability rather than necessarily architectural superiority. The Snapdragon's absence from the benchmark database means any statement about its performance would be speculation, not analysis.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Core 3 201E uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 3 generation. It is built on a 10 nm process at Intel's foundry, with a die size of 163 mm². The processor has 4 cores and 8 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.80 GHz. Its thermal design power is 60 watts. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support covers DDR4 and DDR5 in a dual-channel configuration, with memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s and ECC support enabled. The PCIe interface is Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics are provided by UHD Graphics 730. The socket is Intel Socket 1700. The processor launched on 2025-01-12 with a launch MSRP of $134. Its part number is SRVTR.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-78-100 uses the Oryon codename and belongs to the Snapdragon X (Elite) generation. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with no die size recorded. The processor has 12 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and no boost clock listed. Its thermal design power is 35 watts. The cache hierarchy includes 288 KB of L1 per core, 12 MB of L2 per module, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is limited to LPDDR5X in a dual-channel configuration, with memory bandwidth of 135.2 GB/s and no ECC support. The PCIe interface is Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics are provided by Adreno X1-85. The socket is Qualcomm BGA 2073. The processor launched on 2024-04-23, and no launch MSRP is recorded. Its part number is X1E78100.

The process node difference is substantial: 10 nm from Intel versus 4 nm from TSMC. The Qualcomm part uses roughly 2.4 times fewer nanometers, which typically indicates a more advanced manufacturing process. The core count also differs significantly, with the Snapdragon offering 12 cores versus the Intel's 4, though the Intel part supports 8 threads versus the Snapdragon's 12 threads, indicating no simultaneous multithreading on the Qualcomm design. The base clocks are close, 3.60 GHz versus 3.40 GHz, but the Intel part has a boost clock of 4.80 GHz while the Snapdragon has none recorded.

Cache configurations diverge sharply. The Snapdragon has more L1 cache per core (288 KB versus 80 KB) and more L2 per module (12 MB versus 1.25 MB per core), but the Intel part has more shared L3 (12 MB versus 6 MB). Memory bandwidth favors the Snapdragon at 135.2 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s, though the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 while the Snapdragon only supports LPDDR5X. ECC memory is available only on the Intel part. The Snapdragon has a lower thermal design power at 35 watts versus 60 watts, suggesting lower power draw for mobile use.

The Verdict

The recorded data presents a clear asymmetry. The Intel Core 3 201E has 17 benchmark entries across two major suites, a 73rd percentile ranking among all CPUs, and an average benchmark score of 19056. Its nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, Intel Core i5-12400F, Intel Core i5-1335U, and AMD EPYC 7773X, all score within 0.4 percent of it, placing it in a highly competitive mid-range desktop segment.

The Snapdragon X1E-78-100 has zero benchmark entries, a 50th percentile ranking, and an average score of 0. No performance data exists to support any claim about its capabilities. The two processors target different market segments, the Intel part for desktop and the Qualcomm part for mobile, which further complicates direct comparison. The Intel part's higher TDP of 60 watts versus 35 watts suggests it is designed for sustained desktop workloads, while the Snapdragon's lower TDP indicates mobile efficiency focus.

The architecture data shows the Snapdragon has more cores, more cache per core, higher memory bandwidth, and a more advanced 4 nm process. The Intel part has a boost clock, ECC support, PCIe Gen 5, and a larger shared L3 cache. Without benchmark measurements for the Snapdragon, the database cannot substantiate which architectural advantages translate into real-world performance. The Intel part's percentile rank of 73 versus the Snapdragon's 50 is the only comparative performance signal, but the Snapdragon's rank is based on no recorded scores, making the comparison unreliable.

The data supports choosing the Intel Core 3 201E for users who need verified performance across Cinebench and Passmark workloads, particularly in desktop environments where its 60-watt TDP and Socket 1700 compatibility apply. The Snapdragon X1E-78-100 remains unverified in the database, so its suitability cannot be assessed from recorded measurements.
