Intel Core 3 201TE vs Intel Core i3-14100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains no recorded measurements for the Intel Core 3 201TE, so its performance profile is undefined. The Intel Core i3-14100, by contrast, has a complete set of recorded scores. This asymmetry makes the head-to-head comparison one-sided: every available data point belongs to the i3-14100.

The i3-14100 posts an average benchmark score of 18318, placing it at the 72nd percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core 3 305 (avg score 18302, delta 0.1%), the Intel Core 5 330 (avg score 18345, delta -0.1%), the Intel Core 7 360 (avg score 18374, delta -0.3%), and the Intel Core i3-13100 (avg score 18380, delta -0.3%). The data shows the i3-14100 sits within a narrow band of performance, with its closest competitor, the Core 3 305, essentially matching its score at a 0.1% difference. The Core 5 330 and Core 7 360 trail by 0.1% and 0.3% respectively, while the i3-13100 leads by 0.3%.

In single-threaded workloads, the i3-14100 records a Geekbench single-core score of 2133 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1809. The Cinebench R20 single-core test yields 759, and Cinebench R15 single-core yields 182. PassMark single-thread performance is 3759. These scores indicate consistent single-core strength across multiple test suites.

Multi-threaded results for the i3-14100 show a Geekbench multi-core score of 7231. Cinebench R23 multi-core reaches 12820, Cinebench R20 multi-core reaches 5384, and Cinebench R15 multi-core reaches 1292. PassMark multithread scores 15095. The ratio between multi-core and single-core scores in Cinebench R23 is approximately 7.1, which reflects the 4-core, 8-thread configuration.

The PassMark suite provides additional detail. Integer math scores 45329, floating point math scores 35266, extended instructions score 11865, and data encryption scores 8838. Data compression scores 174115, random string sorting scores 17397, find prime numbers scores 55, and physics scores 958. These figures show the i3-14100 handles integer and floating point operations with similar throughput, while the find prime numbers result is notably low, indicating weak performance in that specific prime-finding workload.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i3-14100 demonstrates wins across every recorded benchmark category. Its 72nd percentile ranking and average score of 18318 place it above the midpoint of all CPUs. The nearest rival data shows it trades places with the Core 3 305 (0.1% ahead), Core 5 330 (0.1% behind), Core 7 360 (0.3% behind), and i3-13100 (0.3% behind). This clustering means the i3-14100 neither dominates nor gets dominated by its immediate peers; it sits in the middle of a tight performance cluster.

For the Intel Core 3 201TE, the database has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals. Its percentileVsAllCpus is 50, which places it at the median of all CPUs, but without measured data this percentile carries no substantiated performance claim. The absence of benchmarks means no workload-specific wins can be attributed to the 201TE.

The i3-14100 wins clearly in multi-threaded rendering tasks, as shown by Cinebench R23 multi-core at 12820 and R20 multi-core at 5384. It also wins in general productivity workloads, with Geekbench multi-core at 7231. For single-threaded responsiveness, the i3-14100 delivers Geekbench single-core at 2133 and PassMark single-thread at 3759. Data-heavy operations favor the i3-14100 as well, with PassMark data compression at 174115 and data encryption at 8838. The only outlier is the find prime numbers score of 55, which is far below the other PassMark results, indicating a specific weakness in that algorithm.

Architecture Differences

Both processors use Intel Socket 1700, have 4 cores and 8 threads, and are built on a 10 nm process node at Intel's foundry. Both have a die size of 163 mm². The L1 cache is 80 KB per core for both, L2 is 1.25 MB per core for both, and L3 is 12 MB shared for both. Memory support includes DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel bus for both. ECC memory support is enabled on both. PCIe is Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes on both. Integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 730 on both. Both have locked multipliers and an identical launch MSRP of $134.

The architectural differences are few but significant. The Core 3 201TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and is part of the Core 3 generation. Its base clock is 2.90 GHz and boost clock is 4.60 GHz. TDP is 45 watts. The release date is 2025-01-12 and the part number is SRPKDQ5CK.

The Core i3-14100 uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, with architecture listed as Raptor Lake, and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series. Its base clock is 3.50 GHz and boost clock is 4.70 GHz. TDP is 60 watts. The release date is 2024-01-07 and the part number is SRMX1. The memory bandwidth for the i3-14100 is not recorded, while the 201TE lists 76.8 GB/s.

The 201TE has no architecture field listed, while the i3-14100 explicitly lists Raptor Lake. The 201TE's generation is "Core 3 (Bartlett Lake)" and the i3-14100's generation is "Core i3 (Raptor Lake Refresh)". These codename differences point to different design lineages despite identical core and cache configurations.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the Intel Core i3-14100 for anyone seeking measured performance. With a complete benchmark suite, a 72nd percentile ranking, and an average score of 18318, the i3-14100 has verified results across Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark. Its nearest rival comparisons show it performs within 0.3% of the Core 3 305, Core 5 330, Core 7 360, and i3-13100, making it a solid mid-pack choice in its immediate competitive set.

The Intel Core 3 201TE lacks any benchmark data. Its percentileVsAllCpus of 50 suggests a median position, but with no recorded scores, no average benchmark score, and no nearest rivals, there is no measured evidence to support performance claims. The 201TE does have a lower TDP (45 watts vs 60 watts) and a lower base clock (2.90 GHz vs 3.50 GHz) and lower boost clock (4.60 GHz vs 4.70 GHz) compared to the i3-14100. It also has a recorded memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, which the i3-14100 lacks.

For users who require verified performance data, the i3-14100 is the only choice with substantiated scores. The 201TE may offer lower power consumption, but its performance is unmeasured. The i3-14100's higher clocks and complete benchmark profile give it a decisive edge in any data-driven comparison. The 201TE's release date is later (2025-01-12 vs 2024-01-07), but that does not compensate for the absence of performance measurements.
