Intel Core 3 201E vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a direct comparison is not possible for the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100, as the database contains no benchmark scores for this processor. Its average benchmark score is recorded as zero, and its percentile ranking against all CPUs sits at 50. The Intel Core 3 201E, by contrast, has a substantial set of 17 benchmark results across Cinebench and Passmark tests, an average benchmark score of 19056, and a percentile rank of 73 against all CPUs.

For the Intel Core 3 201E, the Cinebench results indicate a strong multi-threaded performance profile. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 12613, while the single-core score is 1780. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core result is 5297 and the single-core result is 747. The older Cinebench R15 test shows a multi-core score of 1271 and a single-core score of 179. These figures demonstrate a processor that scales well with thread count, as the multi-core scores are substantially higher than the single-core scores across all three Cinebench versions.

Passmark results for the Intel part further characterize its capabilities. The multi-thread Passmark score is 14839, while the single-thread score is 3482. In specific workload tests, the processor delivers a floating point math score of 33260, an integer math score of 43894, and a data encryption score of 8931. Data compression reaches 164160, extended instructions score 11035, and random string sorting achieves 17783. The physics test scores 1141, and the prime number search test scores 57.

When comparing the Intel Core 3 201E to its nearest rivals in the database, the performance deltas are narrow. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS has an average score of 19047, which puts it at a 0 percent delta from the Intel part. The Intel Core i5-12400F scores 19039, a 0.1 percent difference. The Intel Core i5-1335U achieves 18982, a 0.4 percent delta, and the AMD EPYC 7773X scores 18979, also a 0.4 percent delta. These figures indicate that the Core 3 201E sits in a tightly contested performance band, with no single rival holding a meaningful advantage in aggregate score.

The absence of any benchmark data for the Snapdragon X1P-46-100 limits the depth of any head-to-head analysis. The database records no wins for either processor in direct comparison tests, and the head-to-head benchmark list is empty. Consequently, the only quantitative comparison available is the percentile ranking, where the Intel part at 73 sits well above the Snapdragon's 50. This difference in percentile suggests that, based on the entire CPU population in the database, the Intel processor outperforms the Qualcomm part in overall capability, though the lack of direct scores for the Snapdragon means this is an inference from the percentile field rather than a direct score comparison.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge significantly at the architectural level. 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 node by Intel's own foundry. The die size is 163 mm². The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 uses the Oryon codename and belongs to the Snapdragon X (Plus) generation. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process node by TSMC. The die size for the Qualcomm part is not recorded in the database.

Core and thread configurations differ substantially. The Intel processor has 4 physical cores and 8 threads, indicating Hyper-Threading support. The Qualcomm processor has 8 physical cores and 8 threads, with no multithreading capability per core. This means the Intel part relies on simultaneous multithreading to reach its thread count, while the Qualcomm part achieves its thread count purely through additional physical cores.

Cache hierarchies present notable structural differences. The Intel Core 3 201E has an L1 cache of 80 KB per core, an L2 cache of 1.25 MB per core, and a shared L3 cache of 12 MB. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 has a larger L1 cache at 288 KB per core, an L2 cache of 12 MB per module, and a smaller shared L3 cache of 6 MB. The L2 cache organization differs, with Intel using a per-core allocation and Qualcomm using a per-module allocation, reflecting different design philosophies for cache sharing.

Memory support distinguishes the two clearly. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory types over a dual-channel bus, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. It also supports ECC memory. The Qualcomm processor supports only LPDDR5X memory over a dual-channel bus, with a higher recorded memory bandwidth of 135.2 GB/s. ECC memory is not supported on the Qualcomm part.

PCI Express connectivity also differs. The Intel Core 3 201E provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes (CPU only). This indicates the Intel part offers both a newer PCIe generation and more available lanes for expansion devices.

Integrated graphics are present on both processors but with different implementations. The Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730, while the Qualcomm part uses Adreno X1-45. The market segments differ as well, with the Intel part targeting Desktop platforms and the Qualcomm part targeting Mobile platforms. The sockets reflect this split, with the Intel part using Intel Socket 1700 and the Qualcomm part using Qualcomm BGA 2073.

Clock speeds show the Intel processor operating at a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The Qualcomm processor has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. The thermal design power differs considerably, with the Intel part rated at 60 watts and the Qualcomm part at 30 watts, reflecting the mobile orientation of the latter.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 3 201E wins on every measurable performance dimension in the database. It has a higher base clock at 3.60 GHz versus 3.40 GHz, a higher boost clock at 4.80 GHz versus 4.00 GHz, and a higher percentile ranking at 73 versus 50. The Intel part also has a recorded average benchmark score of 19056, while the Snapdragon has no recorded scores.

The Intel Core 3 201E offers advantages in platform connectivity. It supports PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, compared to Gen 4 with 12 lanes on the Qualcomm part. It also supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, whereas the Qualcomm part is limited to LPDDR5X. ECC memory support is exclusive to the Intel processor.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 wins on efficiency-oriented specifications. Its TDP is 30 watts, half the 60 watts of the Intel part. It has a smaller process node at 4 nm versus 10 nm, which typically correlates with lower power consumption. The memory bandwidth is higher at 135.2 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s, and the L1 and L2 caches are larger per core or per module, at 288 KB and 12 MB respectively, compared to 80 KB and 1.25 MB on the Intel part.

The use-case split follows these specification differences. The Intel Core 3 201E is positioned for desktop workloads where higher clocks, PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, and ECC memory support matter. Its 4-core, 8-thread configuration with a 4.80 GHz boost clock suits applications that benefit from high single-thread performance. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1780 and the Passmark single-thread score of 3482 reflect this strength.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 is positioned for mobile platforms. Its lower TDP of 30 watts, smaller 4 nm process node, and higher memory bandwidth of 135.2 GB/s indicate a focus on power-constrained environments. The 8-core configuration without multithreading provides parallel throughput potential, though the lack of recorded benchmark data prevents a quantitative assessment of its actual performance.

The Intel part also has the advantage of an established benchmark record. Its nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS and Intel Core i5-12400F, sit within 0.4 percent of its average score, placing it in a competitive performance tier. The Snapdragon has no such data, leaving its real-world capabilities unverified in the database.
