AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D vs Intel Core 7 150HL Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison: the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D has a complete set of PassMark benchmark results, while the Intel Core 7 150HL has no benchmark entries in the database. This asymmetry means the quantitative head-to-head analysis relies entirely on the AMD processor's measured results, with the Intel part assessed through its aggregate percentile and the absence of direct test data.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D delivers an average benchmark score of 44,573 across all recorded tests. This places it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs tracked in the database, meaning it outperforms roughly 89% of tested processors. The Intel Core 7 150HL, by contrast, sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero, reflecting the lack of recorded measurements. The data shows no head-to-head benchmark entries exist for this pairing, so no direct wins can be assigned to either processor.

Within the AMD's own benchmark suite, the strongest results appear in multithreaded and integer workloads. The PassMark multithread score of 25,047 and the integer math score of 70,774 indicate substantial parallel processing capability for a 6-core, 12-thread desktop part. Floating point math reaches 43,594, while extended instructions score 20,455. Data compression scores 271,649, and random string sorting reaches 32,999, both suggesting strong memory subsystem performance. The data encryption score of 15,797 and find prime numbers score of 221 complete the workload coverage.

Single-thread performance for the AMD part measures 3,494 in both the passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread entries, which are identical recorded values. The physics score of 2,779 rounds out the benchmark set. These results were all generated with a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, within a 65 W TDP envelope.

Comparing the AMD processor to its nearest rivals in the database provides context for its aggregate standing. The Intel Core Ultra X9 388H scores 44,466, which is 0.2% lower than the Ryzen 5 7500X3D's 44,573. The Intel Core i9-13950HX scores 44,342, a 0.5% deficit. The AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 scores 44,309, also 0.6% behind. On the other side, the Intel Core i5-14600 scores 44,889, which is 0.7% ahead of the Ryzen 5 7500X3D. These margins are narrow, all within roughly one percent, indicating the 7500X3D competes in a tight cluster of high-performing desktop and mobile processors.

The Intel Core 7 150HL has no nearest rivals recorded and no benchmark scores, so its performance cannot be quantified beyond the 50th percentile placement. This percentile is a neutral midpoint value, not derived from any measured workload in the database. Without test data, any direct comparison of wins between the two processors is mathematically impossible. The AMD part holds all recorded benchmark data, while the Intel part holds none.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear but lopsided conclusion. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D is the only processor in this comparison with measurable benchmark results. Its 89th percentile standing, average score of 44,573, and competitive position against the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H, Core i9-13950HX, Ryzen AI Max 385, and Core i5-14600 all indicate a processor that performs at a high level across the recorded workload suite.

The Intel Core 7 150HL cannot be evaluated on performance merits because the database holds no benchmark scores for it. The 50th percentile is a default midpoint, not a measured outcome. Choosing between these two processors based on the recorded data is straightforward: the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D has demonstrated results, while the Intel Core 7 150HL has none.

For users with workloads resembling the PassMark suite, the AMD part's multithread score of 25,047 and integer math score of 70,774 provide concrete evidence of capability. The narrow margins against its nearest rivals, all within 0.7%, also position it as a consistent performer. The Intel part's specifications exist, but without benchmark data, there is no basis for a performance recommendation.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every major specification field. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D uses 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core 7 150HL uses 14 cores and 20 threads. Base clocks differ substantially: the AMD part runs at 4.00 GHz, the Intel part at 2.40 GHz. Boost clocks also differ, with the Intel part reaching 5.00 GHz versus the AMD part's 4.50 GHz.

Thermal design power shows a notable gap. The AMD processor is rated at 65 W, the Intel processor at 45 W. Sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket AM5, Intel uses Socket 1700. Memory support diverges as well. The AMD part supports DDR5 only, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth is listed at 83.2 GB/s for the AMD part; the Intel part has no recorded memory bandwidth figure. ECC memory support is present on the AMD processor but absent on the Intel processor.

PCIe specifications differ: the AMD part uses Gen 5 with 24 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part uses Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses Radeon Graphics, the Intel part uses Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. The AMD processor has a launch MSRP of $269; the Intel processor has no launch MSRP recorded. The AMD part's release date is 2025-11-11, while the Intel part's release date is 2024-04-07. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part number is 100-000001904; the Intel part number is unknown.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D belongs to the 7000 series and uses the Raphael codename, built on the Zen 4 architecture. It is manufactured on a 5 nm process by TSMC, with 11,270 million transistors on a 71 mm² die. The Intel Core 7 150HL uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename, built on a 10 nm process by Intel. The Intel part has no transistor count or die size recorded in the database.

Cache configurations differ significantly. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 96 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD processor's much larger L3 cache, 96 MB versus 24 MB, is the most prominent architectural distinction. The AMD part's generation is listed as "Ryzen 5 (Zen 4 (Raphael))", while the Intel part's generation is "Core 7 (Raptor Lake-PS)".

Both processors are classified as desktop market segments and both are marked as active in production. The AMD part uses a dual-channel memory bus, as does the Intel part. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, a flexibility the AMD processor lacks. The Intel part's Iris Xe Graphics 96EU represents a more substantial integrated graphics solution than the AMD part's Radeon Graphics, though the database does not include graphics benchmark scores for either. The AMD processor's 5 nm TSMC process node is smaller than the Intel processor's 10 nm Intel process node, which typically correlates with higher transistor density, though the Intel part's transistor count is not recorded for comparison.
