Intel Core 5 211TE vs Intel Processor 300 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a full benchmark suite for the Intel Core 5 211TE, while the Intel Processor 300 has no recorded benchmark scores. This makes direct comparison impossible for specific workloads. However, the available data for the Core 5 211TE can be interpreted against its nearest rivals, and the architectural specifications of the Processor 300 provide context for expected behavior.

The Core 5 211TE shows a multithreaded Cinebench R23 score of 12,201 points, placing it in the 69th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its single-core R23 score is 1,722 points. In Cinebench R20, the multicore result is 5,124 points, with a single-core score of 723. The older R15 test yields 1,229 points multicore and 173 single-core.

PassMark results for the Core 5 211TE are extensive. The multithread score is 11,685, while single-thread performance registers 1,408 points in both the "single_thread" and "singlethread" entries. Integer math reaches 33,991, floating point math hits 26,150, and extended instructions score 8,615. Data compression shows 133,434, data encryption scores 7,231, and find prime numbers returns 72. Physics processing scores 1,278, and random string sorting completes at 14,838.

The average benchmark score for the Core 5 211TE is 15,370. This places it within a tight cluster of comparable processors. The AMD EPYC 7543 averages 15,477, which is 0.7% higher. The AMD Ryzen 3 7440U averages 15,682, 2% higher. On the lower side, the AMD EPYC 7702P averages 15,130, which is 1.6% lower. The Intel Core i3-1315U averages 15,022, 2.3% lower. These deltas show the Core 5 211TE sits in a competitive band, though it trails the Ryzen 3 7440U by the widest margin among these four.

The Intel Processor 300 has no benchmark records in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and it holds the 50th percentile position. The absence of data means no head-to-head wins can be established for either part. What the database does show is a substantial specification gap. The Core 5 211TE uses 10 cores and 16 threads, while the Processor 300 uses 2 cores and 4 threads. That is a 5x core advantage and a 4x thread advantage for the Core 5 211TE.

Clock speeds differ considerably. The Core 5 211TE has a base clock of 1.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The Processor 300 has a base clock of 3.90 GHz and no listed boost clock. The higher base clock of the Processor 300 suggests it may offer competitive single-thread performance in lightly threaded tasks, but the Core 5 211TE's boost capability is far higher.

The recorded data indicates the Core 5 211TE is the only one of the two with a complete performance profile. For any multithreaded workload, the Core 5 211TE's core and thread count advantage should translate into significantly higher throughput. The benchmark scores confirm this is a capable desktop processor, ranked at the 69th percentile across all CPUs in the database.

The Verdict

The recorded data makes the choice straightforward for most users. The Intel Core 5 211TE delivers 10 cores, 16 threads, a 4.80 GHz boost clock, 20 MB of shared L3 cache, and ECC memory support. It ranks in the 69th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 15,370. The Intel Processor 300 offers 2 cores, 4 threads, a 3.90 GHz base clock, 6 MB of shared L3 cache, and no ECC support. It sits at the 50th percentile with zero recorded benchmarks.

The Core 5 211TE is the clear choice for multithreaded workloads. Its core count alone should provide a massive advantage in rendering, compilation, and data processing tasks. The benchmark suite confirms strong performance, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12,201 and a PassMark multithread score of 11,685.

The Processor 300 may serve lighter desktop duties. Its higher base clock of 3.90 GHz could benefit single-threaded responsiveness, but without boost clock data or benchmark scores, the database cannot confirm this advantage. The Core 5 211TE's single-thread results, such as 1,722 in Cinebench R23 and 1,408 in PassMark, demonstrate solid per-core performance despite its lower base clock.

For users requiring ECC memory, the choice is unambiguous. The Core 5 211TE supports ECC, the Processor 300 does not. For users prioritizing raw multithreaded throughput, the Core 5 211TE's 5x core advantage dominates. The Processor 300 appears positioned for basic computing, but the database offers no performance evidence to support that role.

Specification Differences

The two processors share several specifications. Both use the Intel Socket 1700, both are built on a 10 nm process by Intel, both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory through dual-channel buses, both provide PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), both have 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, both are desktop parts with active production status, and both have locked multipliers.

The differences are substantial. The Core 5 211TE has 10 cores and 16 threads, while the Processor 300 has 2 cores and 4 threads. Base clocks are 1.70 GHz versus 3.90 GHz. The Core 5 211TE has a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, while the Processor 300 has no boost clock recorded. Thermal design power is 45 watts for the Core 5 211TE and 46 watts for the Processor 300.

Cache configurations differ significantly. The Core 5 211TE has 20 MB of shared L3 cache, while the Processor 300 has 6 MB. Die size is 215 mm² for the Core 5 211TE and 163 mm² for the Processor 300. Memory bandwidth is 76.8 GB/s for the Core 5 211TE, with no figure for the Processor 300.

ECC memory support is exclusive to the Core 5 211TE. Integrated graphics differ as well: the Core 5 211TE uses UHD Graphics 730, while the Processor 300 uses UHD Graphics 710. Release dates are January 2025 for the Core 5 211TE and January 2024 for the Processor 300. The launch MSRP for the Core 5 211TE is $221. The launch MSRP for the Processor 300 is $82. Part numbers are SRQDL for the Core 5 211TE and SRN3J for the Processor 300.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Core 5 211TE belongs to the Bartlett Lake generation with the codename Bartlett Lake. The Intel Processor 300 uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the codename Raptor Lake-S. Both are fabricated on Intel's 10 nm process, but they represent different design generations.

The core count difference reflects distinct architectural approaches. The Core 5 211TE uses 10 cores with 16 threads, indicating a hybrid or performance-oriented design capable of simultaneous multithreading. The Processor 300 uses 2 cores with 4 threads, a simpler configuration for basic tasks. The Core 5 211TE's 20 MB shared L3 cache is more than three times the 6 MB found in the Processor 300, which should reduce memory latency in cache-sensitive workloads.

The die size difference, 215 mm² versus 163 mm², aligns with the larger core and cache configuration of the Core 5 211TE. Both use the same L1 and L2 cache sizes per core, suggesting the core microarchitecture may share design elements, but the overall cache hierarchy differs substantially.

The integrated graphics differ, with the Core 5 211TE featuring UHD Graphics 730 and the Processor 300 featuring UHD Graphics 710. This indicates a slightly higher graphics capability on the Core 5 211TE, though neither is a discrete-class solution.

Memory bandwidth is a differentiating factor. The Core 5 211TE records 76.8 GB/s, while the Processor 300 has no bandwidth figure. Both support ECC only on the Core 5 211TE, which is notable for workstation or server-like deployments where data integrity is critical.

The release timing shows the Core 5 211TE launched approximately one year after the Processor 300. This newer positioning, combined with the Bartlett Lake generation name, suggests the Core 5 211TE incorporates more recent design refinements within the same process node and socket family.
