Intel Core 3 201TE vs Intel Core i9-14900T Comparison

The Intel Core 3 201TE and Intel Core i9-14900T are both Intel desktop processors for Socket 1700, but the database records them very differently. The Core 3 201TE carries a 50th percentile rank and an average benchmark score of 0, with no benchmark scores recorded. The Core i9-14900T carries a 90th percentile rank and an average benchmark score of 51015. Its nearest recorded rivals are the Intel Core i7-13850HX at 50761, the Intel Core Ultra 9 285T at 51310, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT at 50718, and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 at 50448. The recorded deltas place the i9 0.5% above the i7, 0.6% below the Core Ultra 9, 0.6% above the Ryzen 9, and 1.1% above the Ryzen AI 9.

The Verdict

The data supports only one measured-performance choice: the Core i9-14900T. It is the only processor in this pairing with recorded benchmark scores, and it ranks at the 90th percentile of all CPUs. The Core 3 201TE ranks at the 50th percentile and has an average benchmark score of 0, so the database cannot support any benchmark-based selection of that chip. The Core i9-14900T has a launch MSRP of $549. The Core 3 201TE has a launch MSRP of $134.

On specifications alone, the i9 also carries 24 cores and 32 threads, a 5.50 GHz boost clock, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache, versus 4 cores, 8 threads, 4.60 GHz boost, and 12 MB L3 on the Core 3. Those specification gaps align with the i9's recorded benchmark results. The Core 3 has a higher base clock at 2.90 GHz versus 1.10 GHz, but it has no recorded benchmark score to show for that advantage. No nearest rivals are recorded for the Core 3 201TE, while the i9 has four nearby comparison points.

Where Each One Wins

The recorded head-to-head win counts are 0 for both processors because no head-to-head benchmark entries exist. The use-case split therefore comes from individual benchmark scores, and every recorded individual score belongs to the Core i9-14900T. The Core 3 201TE has no recorded scores in Cinebench or Passmark tests.

For multi-threaded work, the i9 posts Cinebench R23 multi-core 30803, Cinebench R20 multi-core 12937, Cinebench R15 multi-core 3104, and Passmark multithread 36239. For single-threaded work, it posts Cinebench R23 single-core 4348, Cinebench R20 single-core 1826, Cinebench R15 single-core 438, and Passmark single thread 4016.

In Passmark specialty tests, the i9 records data compression 436066, data encryption 27062, extended instructions 23660, find prime numbers 164, floating point math 92699, integer math 138149, physics 2245, and random string sorting 49484. The Core 3 201TE cannot claim a win in any of these categories because the database has no score for it. The i9 is the only processor in this pair with measurable benchmark presence.

Architecture Differences

Both processors are built on Intel's 10 nm process and use Intel Socket 1700. The Core 3 201TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, while the Core i9-14900T uses Raptor Lake-R and the Raptor Lake architecture. The Core 3 is from the Core 3 generation, and the i9 is from the Core 14th Gen series.
