AMD Ryzen 5 150 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-88-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database currently contains no head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen 5 150 and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-88-100. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and neither processor has recorded wins in direct comparisons. This means any direct performance comparison must rely on the available standalone benchmark data for the AMD part, while the Qualcomm part has no recorded benchmark scores at all.

The AMD Ryzen 5 150 has a complete set of PassMark results. Its multithread score is 17,492, its single-thread score is 3,155, and its average benchmark score is 34,881. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-88-100, by contrast, has an empty benchmarks array, an average benchmark score of 0, and a percentile rank of 50 among all CPUs. The AMD part sits at the 84th percentile.

Because the Qualcomm chip has no recorded scores, there is no numerical basis for a win/loss tally. The AMD Ryzen 5 150 does have a set of nearest rivals in the database: the Intel Xeon 6349P (average score 34,890, delta 0%), the Intel Core 7 253PTE (average score 34,962, delta -0.2%), the Intel Core i7-13800H (average score 34,988, delta -0.3%), and the Intel Core i9-12900HX (average score 35,003, delta -0.3%). These deltas indicate the Ryzen 5 150 trails all four by fractions of a percent, with the smallest gap being 0% against the Xeon 6349P and the largest being -0.3% against the Core i7-13800H and Core i9-12900HX.

The AMD processor's individual PassMark subtests show where its strengths lie. It scores 211,289 in data compression, 13,425 in data encryption, 14,675 in extended instructions, 47 in find prime numbers, 35,118 in floating point math, 62,151 in integer math, 806 in physics, and 22,382 in random string sorting. These figures establish a baseline for the Ryzen 5 150, but with no equivalent scores for the Snapdragon X2E-88-100, no relative performance statement can be made.

Where Each One Wins

For the AMD Ryzen 5 150, the benchmark data indicates clear capabilities in specific workloads. The data compression score of 211,289 is the highest single subtest result, suggesting strong throughput in compression tasks. Integer math at 62,151 and floating point math at 35,118 show balanced arithmetic performance. The single-thread score of 3,155 and multithread score of 17,492 place it in the upper tier of mobile processors, consistent with its 84th percentile ranking.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-88-100 has no recorded wins in any category because no benchmark data exists for it. The database lists no scores, no average benchmark score, and no nearest rivals. Its percentile rank of 50 is a default position, not a measured outcome. Therefore, no use-case advantage can be attributed to the Qualcomm part from the recorded data.

The Ryzen 5 150's cache configuration supports its performance profile. It has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Snapdragon X2E-88-100 lists 288 KB of L1 cache per core and 16 MB of L2 cache per module, with no L3 cache listed. These differences affect how each processor handles repeated data access, but without benchmark results for the Qualcomm part, the practical impact remains unmeasured.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 150 uses the Zen 3+ architecture, codenamed Rembrandt-R, built on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-88-100 uses the Glymur codename, built on a 3 nm process, also at TSMC. The process node difference is significant: 6 nm versus 3 nm, which typically implies different transistor density and power characteristics, though the database records no specific power figures for the Qualcomm part.

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD chip has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Qualcomm chip has 18 cores and 18 threads. The Qualcomm part does not use simultaneous multithreading, as its thread count equals its core count. The AMD part doubles its threads through SMT. Clock speeds also differ: the AMD base clock is 3.30 GHz with a boost of 4.55 GHz, while the Qualcomm base clock is 4.00 GHz with a boost of 4.70 GHz.

Cache hierarchies diverge. The AMD part uses 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3. The Qualcomm part uses 288 KB L1 per core, 16 MB L2 per module, and no listed L3. The die sizes are close: 210 mm² for AMD and 220 mm² for Qualcomm. Both are mobile segments, with sockets of AMD Socket FP7 and Qualcomm BGA 2343 respectively.

Memory support differs. The AMD Ryzen 5 150 supports DDR5 with dual-channel memory and a bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-88-100 supports LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory and a bandwidth of 152.4 GB/s, which is nearly double the AMD figure. PCIe generations differ as well: the AMD part uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the Qualcomm part uses Gen 5 with 12 lanes. Neither supports ECC memory.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD chip includes a Radeon 660M, while the Qualcomm chip includes an Adreno X2-90. The database records no benchmark scores for either iGPU, so no comparative performance statement is possible. The Qualcomm part has no architecture name listed, while the AMD part is explicitly Zen 3+. Both are listed as active in production, with the AMD release date in September 2025 and the Qualcomm release date in April 2026.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear conclusion for the AMD Ryzen 5 150: it is a measured, benchmarked processor with a complete performance profile. Its average benchmark score of 34,881 places it at the 84th percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of its average score. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-88-100 has no recorded benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals. Its percentile rank of 50 is not derived from any test result.

For users selecting between these two processors based strictly on database information, the AMD Ryzen 5 150 offers measurable performance data that can inform purchasing decisions. The Qualcomm part offers specifications, such as 18 cores, a 4.70 GHz boost clock, and 152.4 GB/s memory bandwidth, but no verified performance results. The data shows that the AMD part is a known quantity, while the Qualcomm part remains uncharacterized.

The core count difference is notable: 18 cores versus 6 cores. The Qualcomm part also has a higher base clock (4.00 GHz vs 3.30 GHz) and a higher boost clock (4.70 GHz vs 4.55 GHz). Its memory bandwidth is double that of the AMD part. However, without benchmark scores, these specifications cannot be translated into real-world performance claims. The database does not support a performance verdict for the Snapdragon X2E-88-100.

The AMD Ryzen 5 150 is the only one of the two with a measured performance profile. The Intel rivals listed against it are all within a fraction of a percent, indicating the Ryzen 5 150 is competitive with those parts. The Qualcomm part has no such comparison points. Any user needing verified performance data should rely on the AMD part. Any user considering the Qualcomm part must wait for benchmark results to populate the database.
