AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 vs Intel Core 7 150HL Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark measurements between the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 and the Intel Core 7 150HL. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and neither processor has a recorded win count in direct comparisons. This absence of paired testing means the analysis must rely on the individual benchmark scores available for the AMD processor and the architectural specifications of the Intel part.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 has a complete set of PassMark benchmark results. Its single-thread score is 3757, which places it in the 86th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The multi-thread score is 19091. In integer math, the AMD processor records 60879, while floating-point math scores 41114. Extended instructions produce 16724, data compression reaches 232803, and data encryption scores 11267. The processor finds prime numbers at a rate of 57, performs random string sorting at 24936, and delivers a physics score of 995. The average benchmark score across all tests is 37762.

The Intel Core 7 150HL has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its nearest rivals array is empty. The percentile ranking for the Intel part is 50, which means it sits at the median of all CPUs in the database, but this ranking is derived without any direct PassMark measurements for this specific model. The Intel processor cannot be numerically compared to the AMD part on any workload benchmark because no test results exist for it.

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 provide useful context for its measured performance. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 scores 37804 on average, which is 0.1% higher than the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435. The Intel Core 5 211E averages 37829, a 0.2% advantage. The Intel Core i5-13600K averages 37685, which is 0.2% lower. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 averages 37904, a 0.4% edge. These deltas are all within a narrow band, indicating that the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 performs essentially on par with a wide range of competing processors, including both desktop and mobile parts, from both AMD and Intel.

Where Each One Wins

Without head-to-head benchmark data, the wins for each processor must be inferred from the available specifications and the measured performance of the AMD part.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 demonstrates clear strengths in specific workload categories based on its recorded PassMark scores. The data compression score of 232803 is exceptionally high relative to its other results, suggesting that this processor handles compression workloads particularly well. The integer math score of 60879 and floating-point math score of 41114 indicate balanced performance across general-purpose arithmetic tasks. The single-thread score of 3757, combined with the 86th percentile ranking, shows that the AMD processor delivers strong performance in lightly threaded applications. The 4 nm process node manufactured by TSMC contributes to this efficiency profile.

The Intel Core 7 150HL offers a different architectural configuration that suggests strengths in heavily threaded workloads. With 14 cores and 20 threads compared to the AMD processor's 6 cores and 12 threads, the Intel part has substantially more parallel execution resources. The 24 MB of shared L3 cache dwarfs the AMD processor's 4 MB L3 cache, which can benefit workloads that repeatedly access large datasets. The Intel processor also has a higher boost clock at 5.00 GHz compared to the AMD's 4.50 GHz, and a higher base clock at 2.40 GHz versus 2.00 GHz. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, providing flexibility in memory configuration.

The AMD processor wins in power efficiency considerations. Its 28 W TDP is significantly lower than the Intel part's 45 W TDP. The AMD processor also supports ECC memory, which the Intel part does not. The AMD processor uses a 4 nm process node compared to Intel's 10 nm node, indicating a denser transistor geometry. The AMD processor's integrated Radeon 840M graphics and the Intel part's Iris Xe Graphics 96EU represent different integrated graphics solutions, though no direct comparison data exists.

The Intel processor wins in raw thread count and cache capacity. The 14-core, 20-thread configuration provides more than double the thread count of the AMD part. The 24 MB L3 cache is six times larger than the AMD's 4 MB. The Intel processor also offers a higher maximum clock speed, which can benefit bursty single-threaded workloads.

Architecture Differences

The two processors belong to fundamentally different architectural generations and design philosophies.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 uses the Zen 5 architecture with the codename Gorgon Point, belonging to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation that combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The processor is manufactured on a 4 nm process node at TSMC. It has 6 cores and 12 threads. The cache hierarchy consists of 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 4 MB of L3 cache. The processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory through a dual-channel memory bus with a measured memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. ECC memory support is enabled. The PCIe interface provides Gen 4 connectivity with 14 lanes from the CPU. The integrated graphics solution is the Radeon 840M. The socket is AMD Socket FP8, and the processor is classified as a mobile component. The production status is listed as active, with a release date in early 2026.

The Intel Core 7 150HL uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the codename Raptor Lake-PS, belonging to the Core 7 generation. The processor is manufactured on a 10 nm process node at Intel. It has 14 cores and 20 threads. The cache hierarchy consists of 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel memory bus, though no memory bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. ECC memory is not supported.

The Intel processor compensates with a much larger shared L3 cache and double the L2 cache per core. The AMD processor supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not. The PCIe lane counts differ, with AMD providing 14 lanes and Intel providing 8 lanes. The memory support differs, with AMD supporting only DDR5 and LPDDR5X while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5.

The Verdict

The data supports different selection criteria for different use cases, though the analysis is constrained by the lack of direct benchmark comparisons.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 is the better choice for mobile applications where power consumption matters. Its 28 W TDP is substantially lower than the Intel part's 45 W TDP, which directly impacts thermal management and battery life in portable systems. The 4 nm process node indicates a more modern manufacturing technology. The measured single-thread score of 3757 and the 86th percentile ranking demonstrate that this processor performs well in everyday tasks despite its lower core count. The ECC memory support is an important feature for reliability-sensitive workloads. The higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, recorded for the AMD part, benefits memory-intensive applications.

The Intel Core 7 150HL is the better choice for desktop workloads that scale with core count and cache capacity. The 14 cores and 20 threads provide significantly more parallel processing capability than the AMD part's 6 cores and 12 threads. The 24 MB of shared L3 cache is six times larger, which can substantially improve performance in workloads with large working sets that fit in cache. The higher boost clock of 5.00 GHz provides a clock speed advantage for latency-sensitive single-threaded tasks. The support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory gives system builders more flexibility in memory selection.

For users who prioritize power efficiency, modern process technology, ECC support, and measured single-thread performance, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 is the data-supported choice. For users who prioritize maximum core count, cache capacity, and clock speed in a desktop form factor, the Intel Core 7 150HL is the data-supported choice. The absence of paired benchmark results means that direct performance comparisons cannot be quantified, but the architectural specifications provide clear directional guidance.
