AMD Ryzen 5 150 vs Intel Core 7 251E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 5 150 and the Intel Core 7 251E. The recorded data shows a complete absence of comparative test scores between these two processors. This means any analysis must rely on the individual benchmark data available for the AMD Ryzen 5 150 and the architectural and specification differences listed for both parts.

The AMD Ryzen 5 150 has a full set of PassMark benchmark scores recorded. Its average benchmark score is 34,881, which places it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs in the database. In contrast, the Intel Core 7 251E has no benchmark scores recorded at all, and its average benchmark score is listed as zero. The Intel part sits in the 50th percentile based on the database's classification, but with no actual test data, that percentile cannot be verified through measured performance.

For the AMD Ryzen 5 150, the single-thread score is 3,155, while the multithread score is 17,492. The integer math test returns 62,151, and floating point math scores 35,118. Data compression reaches 211,289, while data encryption scores 13,425. Extended instructions produce 14,675, and random string sorting comes to 22,382. Physics scores 806, and finding prime numbers scores 47. These figures provide a baseline for the Ryzen part, but the Intel Core 7 251E offers no comparable numbers in the database.

Without head-to-head results, the only measurable performance comparison comes from the AMD Ryzen 5 150's nearest rivals. The database lists the Intel Xeon 6349P with an average score of 34,890, a delta of 0 percent from the Ryzen. The Intel Core 7 253PTE scores 34,962, which is 0.2 percent higher. The Intel Core i7-13800H scores 34,988, 0.3 percent higher, and the Intel Core i9-12900HX scores 35,003, also 0.3 percent higher. These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, indicating that the AMD Ryzen 5 150 performs essentially on par with those four Intel processors in aggregate benchmark terms. The Intel Core 7 251E does not appear among these rivals, and its lack of recorded scores prevents any direct numeric comparison.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 150 wins in the only category where actual benchmark data exists. Its recorded scores cover single-thread, multithread, integer math, floating point math, data compression, data encryption, extended instructions, random string sorting, physics, and prime number finding. The Intel Core 7 251E has no recorded wins in any benchmark category because no benchmark scores exist for it in the database.

For the AMD Ryzen 5 150, the strongest relative results appear in data compression with a score of 211,289, which dwarfs its other scores. The multithread score of 17,492 and the integer math score of 62,151 indicate solid throughput for parallel workloads. The single-thread score of 3,155 is moderate for a mobile processor. The physics score of 806 and prime number score of 47 are the lowest recorded figures, suggesting that the Ryzen part is less optimized for those specific operations.

The Intel Core 7 251E cannot be assigned wins in any workload category from the database. Its specifications, however, suggest different strengths. It has 24 cores and 32 threads, compared to the Ryzen's 6 cores and 12 threads. It also has a higher boost clock of 5.60 GHz versus 4.55 GHz, and a larger shared L3 cache of 36 MB versus 16 MB. These differences point toward the Intel part being designed for heavily threaded tasks, but the absence of benchmark data means the database cannot confirm any performance advantage.

The AMD Ryzen 5 150 uses a 6 nm process from TSMC, while the Intel Core 7 251E uses a 10 nm process from Intel. The Ryzen has a 35 W TDP, while the Intel part has a 65 W TDP. The Ryzen supports DDR5 memory only, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The Intel part has a higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s compared to 76.8 GB/s for the Ryzen. These specification differences inform potential use cases, but without benchmark results for the Intel part, no measured wins can be assigned.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 150 is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark data. Its average benchmark score of 34,881 places it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals all score within 0.3 percent of it. The Intel Core 7 251E has no recorded benchmarks, an average score of zero, and sits in the 50th percentile. From the data alone, the Ryzen 5 150 is the only part with verified performance, and it competes closely with four Intel processors that do have scores.

For users who prioritize measured performance, the database supports the AMD Ryzen 5 150. It delivers a single-thread score of 3,155 and a multithread score of 17,492, with data compression at 211,289. The Intel Core 7 251E offers no numbers to compare, so any claim of superiority for the Intel part would be unsupported by the recorded data.

The Intel Core 7 251E does have a launch MSRP of $384, which is stated once here as recorded. The AMD Ryzen 5 150 has no launch MSRP in the database. The Intel part also supports ECC memory, which the Ryzen does not. The Intel part has more cores, more threads, a higher boost clock, more L3 cache, and higher memory bandwidth. These are structural advantages, but they are not confirmed by any benchmark scores in the database.

The verdict from the data is straightforward: the AMD Ryzen 5 150 has measurable performance, and the Intel Core 7 251E does not. Any user choosing between these two processors based on the database would have to favor the Ryzen for its verified scores, unless the Intel part's specifications alone justify selection.
