AMD Ryzen 5 220 vs Intel Core 3 201TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen 5 220 and the Intel Core 3 201TE, as the Intel part has no benchmark scores in the database. However, the Ryzen 5 220 has an extensive set of measured results across multiple test suites. The Ryzen 5 220 posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15502 and a single-core score of 2188. In Geekbench, it records 7974 multi-core and 2027 single-core. PassMark results include 18582 for multithread, 3646 for single thread, 57987 for integer math, 35500 for floating point math, 212739 for data compression, and 12493 for data encryption.

The Ryzen 5 220 sits at the 75th percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 22289. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-10700K (average score 22230, a 0.3% advantage for the Ryzen), the Intel Core i5-13500H (22468, a 0.8% deficit), the Intel Core i7-1270P (22502, a 0.9% deficit), and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X (21992, a 1.4% advantage). This places the Ryzen 5 220 in a tight cluster of performance, essentially trading blows with desktop processors from previous generations and mobile H-series parts.

The Intel Core 3 201TE has no recorded benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals. The database shows its percentile at 50, but without measurements, this represents a neutral midpoint rather than a verified performance standing. The absence of data means the head-to-head analysis relies entirely on architectural and specification comparisons rather than measured outcomes.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies and manufacturing approaches. The AMD Ryzen 5 220 uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die. The Intel Core 3 201TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel, with a 163 mm² die and no transistor count recorded in the database.

The Ryzen 5 220 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a base clock of 3.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. The Intel Core 3 201TE is a 4-core, 8-thread processor with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The Ryzen has a 28 W TDP, while the Intel part has a 45 W TDP, meaning the AMD chip delivers more cores and higher clocks within a lower power envelope.

Cache configurations differ substantially. The Ryzen 5 220 has 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel Core 3 201TE has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. While the Intel part has larger per-core L1 and L2 allocations, the AMD chip provides more total L3 cache, which matters for workloads with shared data access patterns.

Memory support diverges as well. The Ryzen 5 220 supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel access and a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core 3 201TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but with a lower memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Intel part supports ECC memory, while the AMD part does not.

PCIe capabilities differ: the Ryzen 5 220 uses Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel Core 3 201TE uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The newer PCIe generation on the Intel side offers higher per-lane bandwidth, though the AMD part provides fewer lanes at an older standard.

The integrated graphics differ: the Ryzen 5 220 carries the Radeon 740M, while the Intel Core 3 201TE uses UHD Graphics 730. The market segments also differ, with the Ryzen 5 220 designated as a mobile processor on AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel Core 3 201TE is a desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Ryzen 5 220 is the stronger processor on paper, with more cores, more threads, higher base and boost clocks, and a lower TDP. Its benchmark results place it at the 75th percentile, with an average score of 22289 that edges out the Intel Core i7-10700K by 0.3% and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X by 1.4%, while trailing the Intel Core i5-13500H by 0.8% and the Intel Core i7-1270P by 0.9%. This performance cluster suggests the Ryzen 5 220 delivers competitive multi-threaded and single-threaded performance for its mobile segment.

The Intel Core 3 201TE has no benchmark scores in the database, so its performance cannot be quantified. Its 50th percentile ranking is a placeholder without supporting measurements. The specification sheet shows a 4-core, 8-thread desktop processor with lower clocks, a higher TDP, and older process technology at 10 nm compared to the 4 nm node used for the Ryzen.

The Intel part does have advantages in specific areas: ECC memory support, DDR4 compatibility, PCIe Gen 5 with more lanes, and larger per-core L1 and L2 caches. These features matter for certain use cases, particularly systems that require error-correcting memory or high-bandwidth peripheral connectivity. The desktop form factor on Socket 1700 also allows different system configurations than the mobile FP8 socket.

For workloads measured in the database, the Ryzen 5 220 shows strong results in Cinebench R23 (15502 multi-core, 2188 single-core), Geekbench (7974 multi-core, 2027 single-core), and PassMark (18582 multithread, 3646 single thread). These numbers indicate a capable processor for both heavily threaded applications and responsive single-threaded tasks.

The choice between the two comes down to platform requirements. The Ryzen 5 220 suits mobile systems needing high performance per watt, with a 28 W TDP and 6-core/12-thread configuration. The Intel Core 3 201TE suits desktop builds requiring ECC memory, DDR4 compatibility, or PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, with its higher 45 W TDP and 4-core/8-thread layout. Benchmark verification for the Intel part is pending in the database, so direct performance comparisons cannot be made until measurements are recorded.
