Intel Core 3 201TE vs Intel Core i9-14901E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 3 201TE and Intel Core i9-14901E occupy very different positions in the database. The Core i9-14901E posts an average benchmark score of 37,911, placing it at the 86th percentile among all CPUs. The Core 3 201TE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database and sits at the 50th percentile. That percentile figure is a default midpoint for a processor with no measured results, while the Core i9-14901E has 17 recorded test scores across Cinebench and Passmark suites.

The Core i9-14901E delivers strong multi-threaded results. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it scores 25,753. Its Cinebench R20 multi-core score is 10,816, and Cinebench R15 multi-core comes in at 2,595. Single-core performance is equally defined: Cinebench R23 single-core reaches 3,635, R20 single-core posts 1,526, and R15 single-core records 366.

Passmark results for the Core i9-14901E show particular strength in integer math, where it scores 112,736, and floating-point math, which reaches 81,089. Data compression scores 288,777, while data encryption records 18,571. Extended instructions hit 17,249. Prime number finding is the weakest recorded workload at 189. Random string sorting scores 39,138, and the physics test records 3,041.

The nearest rivals in the database confirm the Core i9-14901E's position. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 scores 37,904, a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X scores 37,943, which is 0.1 percent ahead. The Intel Core 5 211E scores 37,829, 0.2 percent behind. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 scores 37,804, 0.3 percent behind. These are effectively identical results, with the Core i9-14901E sitting between the Ryzen 7 9700X above it and the Core 5 211E below it.

The Core 3 201TE cannot be compared on the same benchmarks because no scores exist for it in the database. The head-to-head benchmark table between the two processors is empty, and the win count for each processor is zero. The data records the Core 3 201TE's specifications, but its measured performance is absent. This is not a statement about real-world capability; it is a statement about what the database contains.

What the database does show is the architectural gulf between the two chips. The Core i9-14901E uses 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Core 3 201TE uses 4 cores and 8 threads. The Core i9-14901E boosts to 5.60 GHz from a 2.80 GHz base, while the Core 3 201TE boosts to 4.60 GHz from a 2.90 GHz base. The Core i9-14901E carries 36 MB of shared L3 cache versus 12 MB on the Core 3 201TE. L2 cache is 2 MB per core on the Core i9-14901E versus 1.25 MB per core on the Core 3 201TE. Both share 80 KB of L1 per core.

The Core i9-14901E has a 65 W TDP, the Core 3 201TE a 45 W TDP. Both use the Intel Socket 1700 and support DDR4 and DDR5 memory with dual-channel buses. The Core i9-14901E does not have a recorded memory bandwidth figure, while the Core 3 201TE lists 76.8 GB/s. Both support ECC memory. Both use PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics differ: UHD Graphics 770 on the Core i9-14901E and UHD Graphics 730 on the Core 3 201TE.

Where Each One Wins

The Core i9-14901E wins every category where the database has measurements. Its multi-core Cinebench scores reflect the core and thread advantage: 16 threads versus 8 threads. The single-core scores reflect the boost clock advantage: 5.60 GHz versus 4.60 GHz. The cache hierarchy reinforces both: 36 MB of L3 versus 12 MB, and 2 MB per-core L2 versus 1.25 MB.

The Core i9-14901E belongs to the Core 14th Gen series and uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename. The Core 3 201TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and is part of the Core 3 generation. Both are manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process, but the Core i9-14901E has a larger die at 257 mm² versus 163 mm² for the Core 3 201TE. That larger die houses more cores, more cache, and a higher transistor budget.

The Core 3 201TE has no recorded wins because it has no recorded benchmark scores. The database does show its production status as Active and its release date as January 2025. The Core i9-14901E was released in June 2024 and is also Active. The Core 3 201TE has a launch MSRP of $134. The Core i9-14901E has no launch MSRP recorded.

The Core i9-14901E's percentile ranking of 86 versus the Core 3 201TE's 50 percentile is the only direct performance-comparison field available. The percentile for the Core 3 201TE likely reflects the absence of test data rather than a measured result. The Core i9-14901E's percentile is anchored by its 17 recorded scores and its position among rivals that all score within 0.3 percent of each other.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split. The Core i9-14901E is the processor for workloads that use many threads, large caches, and high boost clocks. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25,753 and Passmark integer math score of 112,736 indicate a chip built for sustained parallel work. Its single-core Cinebench R23 score of 3,635 and Passmark single-thread score of 4,354 indicate strong responsiveness in lightly threaded tasks as well.

The Core 3 201TE is the processor for constrained power envelopes. Its 45 W TDP is lower than the Core i9-14901E's 65 W TDP. It uses the same socket, same memory types, same PCIe generation, and same lane count. Its 4 cores and 8 threads handle lighter workloads, and its 12 MB L3 cache is a quarter of the Core i9-14901E's capacity.

The database cannot assign the Core 3 201TE any performance wins because no scores are recorded. The only factual comparisons available are specifications. From those specifications, the Core i9-14901E is ahead in core count, thread count, boost clock, L2 cache per core, L3 cache total, die size, and integrated graphics tier. The Core 3 201TE is ahead in base clock by 0.10 GHz, lower TDP by 20 W, and has a recorded memory bandwidth figure where the Core i9-14901E has none in the database.

The Core i9-14901E's nearest rival cluster shows how tightly packed the top end is. The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X is 0.1 percent ahead, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is exactly even, the Intel Core 5 211E is 0.2 percent behind, and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 is 0.3 percent behind. The Core i9-14901E sits in a group where a single benchmark run could reorder positions.
