Intel Core 3 201TE vs Intel Core 7 150U Comparison

The Intel Core 3 201TE and Intel Core 7 150U are two active Intel processors with different platform targets. The Core 3 201TE is a desktop Bartlett Lake chip with 4 cores, 8 threads, a 2.90 GHz base clock, a 4.60 GHz boost clock, and a 45 W TDP. The Core 7 150U is a mobile Raptor Lake-U chip with 10 cores, 12 threads, a 1.80 GHz base clock, a 5.40 GHz boost clock, and a 15 W TDP. Both are built on Intel's 10 nm process, but the database records performance data for only one of them: the Core 7 150U has an average benchmark score of 17395 and a 71st percentile rank among all CPUs, while the Core 3 201TE has an average benchmark score of 0 and a 50th percentile rank.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark runs pairing the Core 3 201TE with the Core 7 150U. The paired wins counters are 0 for both processors. As a result, the head-to-head picture is defined entirely by the Core 7 150U's standalone benchmark suite. The Core 3 201TE has no recorded scores in Cinebench, Geekbench, or PassMark.

In Cinebench, the Core 7 150U posts 1505.5 in R15 multi-core, 5248 in R20 multi-core, and 8883 in R23 multi-core. Single-core Cinebench scores are 254 in R15, 740 in R20, and 1875.5 in R23. Geekbench adds 6234 multi-core and 1857 single-core. PassMark covers more specialized workloads: 158622 in data compression, 10025 in data encryption, 8748 in extended instructions, 58 in prime numbers, 34405 in floating point math, 51057 in integer math, 14700 in multithread, 1012 in physics, 18269 in random string sorting, and 3508 in single-thread. The largest raw scores in this set are data compression and integer math, but no cross-processor delta can be computed because the Core 3 201TE has no score. The Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 8883 is the strongest all-core number in the recorded set, while the R23 single-core result of 1875.5 shows the lightly threaded side. Geekbench's 6234 multi-core and 1857 single-core results point in the same direction, and PassMark's 14700 multithread and 3508 single-thread scores confirm the pattern.

For context, the Core 7 150U's average benchmark score of 17395 places it 0.4% above the AMD Ryzen 5 4500, which scores 17333, and 0.4% above the AMD Ryzen 3 210, which scores 17321. It sits 0.5% below the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, which scores 17482, and 0.6% below the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, which scores 17507. These are the closest recorded rivals for the Core 7 150U, and they are all AMD processors. The largest delta among these nearest rivals is 0.6%, which places the Core 7 150U in a tight cluster around its 17395 average. The Core 3 201TE has no nearest rivals recorded in the database.

Architecture Differences

Both processors come from Intel's 10 nm process and Intel foundry, but their designs differ. The Core 3 201TE carries the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 3 (Bartlett Lake) generation. The Core 7 150U uses the Raptor Lake architecture, carries the Raptor Lake-U codename, and belongs to the Core 7 (Raptor Lake-U) generation. The Core 3 201TE is a desktop part on Intel Socket 1700; the Core 7 150U is a mobile part on Intel BGA 1744.

Core and thread counts separate the two: 4 cores and 8 threads for the desktop chip, 10 cores and 12 threads for the mobile chip. The recorded cache layout is the same per core: 80 KB L1, 1.25 MB L2, and 12 MB shared L3. Both list identical per-core cache values, so the core count difference is the main structural change in the cache hierarchy. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode. ECC memory is supported by the Core 3 201TE but not by the Core 7 150U. Memory bandwidth is recorded only for the Core 3 201TE at 76.8 GB/s.

The integrated graphics also differ: UHD Graphics 730 on the Core 3 201TE versus Iris Xe Graphics 96EU on the Core 7 150U. PCIe connectivity is Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes on the desktop part and Gen 4 with 8 CPU lanes on the mobile part. The Core 3 201TE has a die size of 163 mm², while the Core 7 150U has no recorded die size. The desktop chip released on 2025-01-12; the mobile chip released on 2024-01-07. Both are active products with locked multipliers.

Where Each One Wins

Because the Core 3 201TE has no recorded benchmark scores, the Core 7 150U wins every benchmarked workload in this comparison. That includes all Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 multi-core and single-core tests, Geekbench multi-core and single-core, and every PassMark workload recorded in the database. The Core 3 201TE has zero measured performance wins. The Core 7 150U's benchmark wins span Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark workloads, while the Core 3 201TE has no entries in any of those categories. The percentile ranks reflect the same split: the Core 7 150U sits at the 71st percentile, the Core 3 201TE at the 50th.

The use-case split is therefore based on platform capabilities rather than benchmark victories. The Core 3 201TE is the only part in this pair with a desktop Socket 1700 interface, ECC memory support, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, a recorded memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, and UHD Graphics 730. The Core 7 150U is the only part with a mobile BGA 1744 socket, Iris Xe Graphics 96EU, and a 15 W TDP. The Core 7 150U carries all recorded performance data; the Core 3 201TE carries the desktop feature set.
