Intel Core i3-13100TE vs Intel Core i7-11375H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data shows a clear overall winner: the Intel Core i3-13100TE takes 7 of the 8 recorded head-to-head tests, with the only loss coming in Geekbench single-core. The margins are consistent across Cinebench tests, all falling between 2.8% and 2.9% in favor of the i3-13100TE. The largest victory for the i3-13100TE comes in Geekbench multi-core, where it scores 5703 against the i7-11375H's 5383, a 5.9% advantage.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the i3-13100TE posts 10054 versus 9775 for the i7-11375H, a 2.9% lead. The single-core R23 result shows the same pattern: 1419 for the i3-13100TE against 1380, again a 2.8% edge. Cinebench R20 multi-core sees the i3-13100TE at 4222 and the i7-11375H at 4105, while R20 single-core records 595 versus 579. Even the older R15 tests follow suit: multi-core 1013 against 985 and single-core 142 against 138.

The one reversal appears in Geekbench single-core, where the i7-11375H scores 1800 against the i3-13100TE's 1739, a 3.4% margin for the older mobile chip. This suggests that while the i3-13100TE dominates in sustained multi-threaded workloads and most single-threaded tests, the i7-11375H retains a narrow advantage in at least one specific single-threaded measurement.

The average benchmark scores reinforce this picture. The i3-13100TE averages 3111 across all recorded tests, while the i7-11375H averages 3018. That is a 3.1% gap in aggregate performance. Both processors sit at the 52nd percentile among all CPUs in the database, meaning they occupy a similar overall tier despite the i3-13100TE's consistent head-to-head wins.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Core i3-13100TE is built on Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-S desktop variant, while the Intel Core i7-11375H uses Tiger Lake-H, the mobile variant of Tiger Lake. Both use a 10 nm process node from Intel, but the die sizes differ: the i3-13100TE measures 163 mm², while the i7-11375H is smaller at 146.1 mm².

The cache layouts are identical in structure. Each processor has 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, with 12 MB of shared L3 cache. Both have 4 cores and 8 threads, so the per-core cache allocation is the same. The differences lie elsewhere.

Memory support separates the two clearly. The i3-13100TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the i7-11375H supports only DDR4. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The i7-11375H has a recorded memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s; the i3-13100TE has no memory bandwidth figure recorded in the database.

PCIe connectivity also differs. The i3-13100TE uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the i7-11375H uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). This means the desktop chip offers a newer PCIe generation but fewer lanes, while the mobile chip offers more lanes on the older standard.

ECC memory support is another differentiator. The i3-13100TE supports ECC memory, while the i7-11375H does not. The integrated graphics differ as well: the i3-13100TE features UHD Graphics 730, while the i7-11375H has Iris XE 96EU.

The market segments are distinct. The i3-13100TE is a desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700, while the i7-11375H is a mobile processor on Intel BGA 1449. The i3-13100TE was released on 2023-01-03, roughly two years after the i7-11375H, which launched on 2021-01-10.

Specification Differences

Clock speeds show a notable split. The i3-13100TE has a base clock of 2.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.10 GHz. The i7-11375H has a higher base clock of 3.00 GHz and a significantly higher boost clock of 5.00 GHz. Despite the i7-11375H's clock advantage, the i3-13100TE still wins most benchmarks, indicating that newer architecture and other factors compensate for the clock deficit.

Thermal design power differs, though the numbers are recorded as TDP values. The i3-13100TE is rated at 35 W, while the i7-11375H is rated at 28 W. The desktop chip draws more power but delivers more performance in most tests.

The sockets are incompatible: Intel Socket 1700 for the i3-13100TE versus Intel BGA 1449 for the i7-11375H. This means the two processors cannot be swapped into the same system. The production status for both is listed as active, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The launch MSRP for the i7-11375H is $482. The i3-13100TE has no launch MSRP recorded in the database. Part numbers also differ: SRMFT for the i3-13100TE and SRKH4 for the i7-11375H.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i3-13100TE wins across nearly every measured workload. In Cinebench R15, R20, and R23, both multi-core and single-core tests favor the desktop chip, with deltas ranging from 2.8% to 2.9%. Geekbench multi-core also goes to the i3-13100TE with a 5.9% margin. This makes the i3-13100TE the clear choice for rendering, multi-threaded productivity, and general compute tasks where the database's benchmarks are representative.

The Intel Core i7-11375H wins exactly one test: Geekbench single-core, with a 3.4% advantage. This suggests that in a narrow set of single-threaded workloads, the mobile chip's higher boost clock of 5.00 GHz can overcome the architectural advantages of the newer Raptor Lake design. Users running applications that closely mirror the Geekbench single-core test may see slightly better responsiveness from the i7-11375H.

The average benchmark scores reinforce the i3-13100TE's overall superiority: 3111 versus 3018. The percentile data places both at the 52nd percentile, so neither is a high-end part in absolute terms, but within this pairing the i3-13100TE is consistently faster.

The i7-11375H does offer advantages outside raw benchmark performance. It supports more PCIe lanes (20 versus 16) and includes a more capable integrated GPU in Iris XE 96EU compared to UHD Graphics 730. For systems relying on integrated graphics, the i7-11375H may deliver better visual output, though the database records no graphics benchmarks to confirm this.

The i3-13100TE counters with ECC memory support, DDR5 compatibility, and a newer PCIe generation. These features matter for specific use cases like error-checked computing or systems built around newer memory standards.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the Intel Core i3-13100TE for raw performance. It wins 7 of 8 benchmarks, with consistent 2.8% to 2.9% leads across Cinebench tests and a 5.9% advantage in Geekbench multi-core. Its average benchmark score of 3111 exceeds the i7-11375H's 3018 by 3.1%. Anyone building a desktop system with a focus on multi-threaded workloads, rendering, or general computation should choose the i3-13100TE based on the recorded data.

The i7-11375H is the better pick only in one specific scenario: single-threaded Geekbench performance, where it leads by 3.4%. Users whose primary application matches that workload may notice the difference. The i7-11375H also brings a higher boost clock (5.00 GHz versus 4.10 GHz), more PCIe lanes, and a stronger integrated GPU, though the database does not include GPU benchmarks to quantify that advantage.

The i3-13100TE's newer Raptor Lake architecture and support for DDR5 and ECC memory make it the more future-proof option. The i7-11375H's mobile design on BGA 1449 limits it to laptops and compact systems, while the i3-13100TE's desktop socket allows for broader system integration.

Both processors sit at the 52nd percentile among all CPUs, so neither is a standout in the broader database. But within this head-to-head, the i3-13100TE is the decisive winner. The i7-11375H's single win in Geekbench single-core does not offset the i3-13100TE's dominance across seven other tests, including a multi-core margin that more than doubles the single-core deficit. Choose the i3-13100TE for performance, and reserve the i7-11375H for narrow single-threaded use cases or systems that specifically need its mobile form factor and integrated graphics capabilities.
