AMD Ryzen 5 150 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-94-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for these two processors is asymmetrical. The AMD Ryzen 5 150 has a full PassMark benchmark suite on file, while the Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-94-100 currently has no benchmark entries in the database. This absence of recorded scores for the Snapdragon means a direct numerical comparison cannot be performed at this time.

For the Ryzen 5 150, the benchmark results are as follows. The PassMark single-thread score is 3155, which places it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs. The multithread score is 17492, indicating strong parallel performance for a 6-core part. In specific workloads, the Ryzen 5 150 delivers a data compression score of 211289, an integer math score of 62151, and a floating point math score of 35118. The extended instructions score is 14675, while the random string sorting score is 22382. The data encryption score is 13425, and the physics score is 806. The find prime numbers score is 47. The average benchmark score across all tests is 34881.

The database shows the Ryzen 5 150 sits very close to several Intel rivals in average score. The Intel Xeon 6349P has an average score of 34890, a delta of 0% relative to the AMD part. The Intel Core 7 253PTE scores 34962, which is 0.2% higher. The Intel Core i7-13800H scores 34988, 0.3% higher, and the Intel Core i9-12900HX scores 35003, also 0.3% higher. These margins are minimal, indicating the Ryzen 5 150 performs essentially at parity with these competitors in aggregate.

Because the Snapdragon X2E-94-100 has no benchmark scores, its percentile rank is 50 and its average score is recorded as 0. The data cannot confirm a single head-to-head win for either processor. The wins count for both is 0. Any claims about relative performance between the two would be speculative and unsupported by the database.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 5 150 is built on the Zen 3+ architecture with the codename Rembrandt-R. It is a 6-core, 12-thread design, which means it relies on simultaneous multithreading to double its thread count. The base clock is 3.30 GHz and the boost clock is 4.55 GHz. Its TDP is rated at 35 watts. The process node is 6 nm, produced by TSMC, with a die size of 210 mm².

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-94-100 uses the Glymur codename and belongs to the Snapdragon X2 (Elite) generation. It is an 18-core, 18-thread processor, meaning each core is a single thread with no multithreading. The base clock is 4.45 GHz and the boost clock is 4.70 GHz, both higher than the AMD chip. No TDP is listed in the database. The process node is 3 nm, also from TSMC, with a die size of 220 mm².

Cache hierarchies differ significantly. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Qualcomm part has 288 KB of L1 per core, 16 MB of L2 per module, and 9 MB of shared L3. These configurations reflect distinct approaches to feeding data to the cores.

Memory support also differs. The Ryzen 5 150 supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus, yielding 76.8 GB/s of bandwidth. The Snapdragon X2E-94-100 supports LPDDR5X over a triple-channel bus, providing 228.6 GB/s of bandwidth. That is a threefold difference in memory bandwidth capability. PCIe connectivity differs as well: the AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the Qualcomm chip uses Gen 5 with 12 lanes.

Integrated graphics are present on both. The AMD Ryzen 5 150 includes a Radeon 660M iGPU, while the Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-94-100 includes an Adreno X2-90. Neither chip supports ECC memory. Neither has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part uses the AMD Socket FP7, and the Qualcomm part uses Qualcomm BGA 2343. The release dates also differ: the Ryzen 5 150 launched on September 30, 2025, and the Snapdragon X2E-94-100 is dated April 5, 2026.

The Verdict

Based strictly on the database, the AMD Ryzen 5 150 is the only processor with measurable performance data. Its 84th percentile ranking and average score of 34881 place it in the upper-middle range of all CPUs. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-94-100 has no recorded benchmarks, so no performance verdict can be made for it. The data does not support a claim that either chip outperforms the other.

The Ryzen 5 150 shows a clear profile in the recorded tests. It handles integer math, compression, and floating point workloads with scores of 62151, 211289, and 35118 respectively. Its single-thread score of 3155 is solid for a mobile processor. The lack of any Snapdragon scores means the database treats its average as 0 and its percentile as 50, which is a neutral placeholder rather than a measured result.

For a buyer or system designer looking at the database alone, the Ryzen 5 150 has verified performance characteristics. The Snapdragon X2E-94-100, despite its higher core count and newer process node, has no verified benchmark presence. The choice, based on available data, is clear: the AMD part has demonstrated results, while the Qualcomm part remains unmeasured.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every major specification field. The AMD Ryzen 5 150 has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-94-100 has 18 cores and 18 threads. Base clocks are 3.30 GHz versus 4.45 GHz, and boost clocks are 4.55 GHz versus 4.70 GHz. The TDP for the AMD part is 35 watts; the Snapdragon has no TDP listed.

The process node is 6 nm for AMD and 3 nm for Qualcomm, both from TSMC. Die sizes are 210 mm² for AMD and 220 mm² for Qualcomm. Cache configurations differ: AMD uses 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3. Qualcomm uses 288 KB L1 per core, 16 MB L2 per module, and 9 MB shared L3.

Memory support: AMD uses DDR5 on a dual-channel bus with 76.8 GB/s bandwidth. Qualcomm uses LPDDR5X on a triple-channel bus with 228.6 GB/s bandwidth. PCIe generation and lane counts differ: AMD has Gen 4 with 20 lanes, Qualcomm has Gen 5 with 12 lanes. Integrated graphics are Radeon 660M for AMD and Adreno X2-90 for Qualcomm.

Sockets are AMD Socket FP7 versus Qualcomm BGA 2343. The AMD part has the part number 100-000000990(FP7r2), while the Qualcomm part is X2E94100. The release dates are September 30, 2025, and April 5, 2026, respectively. Both lack ECC support and unlocked multipliers. Both are listed as Active in production status and target the Mobile market segment. Neither has a launch MSRP in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 150 wins in every category where data exists, because the Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-94-100 has no recorded benchmark scores. The Ryzen 5 150 demonstrates strengths in specific workloads based on its measured results. Its highest relative scores are in data compression (211289), integer math (62151), and floating point math (35118). These are computationally intensive tasks that benefit from its 6-core, 12-thread configuration and Zen 3+ architecture.

The Ryzen 5 150 also shows reasonable single-thread performance with a score of 3155, which is relevant for applications that rely on per-core speed rather than parallel scaling. The extended instructions score of 14675 and the random string sorting score of 22382 further indicate balanced capability across diverse workload types.

For the Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-94-100, the database offers no wins because there are no measurements. Its higher core count (18 versus 6), higher clocks, and wider memory bandwidth are specifications that suggest potential advantages in heavily threaded and memory-bandwidth-sensitive tasks, but the database does not contain any benchmark evidence to confirm such advantages. The triple-channel LPDDR5X memory bus, rated at 228.6 GB/s, is a notable specification difference, but without scores, it cannot be translated into a performance win.

In the absence of Snapdragon benchmarks, the only verifiable wins belong to the AMD Ryzen 5 150. Its 84th percentile ranking and active production status indicate it is a currently relevant mobile processor with measured results. The Snapdragon X2E-94-100 remains an unverified entry in the database, with its potential performance yet to be recorded.
