The Snapdragon has a lower TDP of 35 watts compared to the Intel chip's 45 watts.

The Verdict

The data overwhelmingly favors the Intel Core 5 211TE in CPU performance. Every recorded benchmark in the database is an Intel result; the Snapdragon X1P-66-100 has zero benchmark entries. The Intel chip's average benchmark score of 15,370 places it at the 69th percentile of all CPUs, while the Snapdragon sits at the 50th percentile with no average score recorded.

Desktop builders should choose the Intel Core 5 211TE. It offers 16 threads versus 10, a boost clock of 4.80 GHz versus 4.00 GHz, ECC memory support, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, and a substantial L3 cache of 20 MB. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD EPYC 7543 (0.7% lower average score), AMD Ryzen 3 7440U (2% higher), AMD EPYC 7702P (1.6% lower), and Intel Core i3-1315U (2.3% higher). This places the Intel chip in competitive territory with server and mobile parts.

Mobile users considering the Snapdragon X1P-66-100 should note its advantages: a 4 nm process node, higher base clock of 3.40 GHz, 135.2 GB/s memory bandwidth, and lower 35 W TDP. The Snapdragon's 288 KB L1 cache per core is substantially larger than Intel's 80 KB per core. However, without any recorded benchmark scores, the database cannot confirm its actual performance levels. The Intel Core 5 211TE is the only processor in this comparison with verified performance data.
