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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G and the Intel Core 7 150UL. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and neither processor records a win tally in direct competition. This absence of paired test data means conclusions must be drawn from the recorded average scores, single-thread results, and the broader percentile positioning of each part.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G shows an average benchmark score of 40,718 across all recorded tests. This places it at the 87th percentile among all CPUs in the database, a strong position that indicates it outperforms the vast majority of tracked desktop processors. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Xeon 6357P with an average score of 40,630, a delta of 0.2 percent ahead of the AMD part. The Intel Core 5 223PE trails by 0.3 percent with a score of 40,585, and the Intel Core 7 253PE sits 0.4 percent behind at 40,557. The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H rounds out the nearest rival group at 40,518, a 0.5 percent deficit. These margins are narrow, showing the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G clusters tightly with a group of competitive mid-range parts, but it holds the top position among them by a small but consistent margin.

Looking at individual workload scores for the AMD processor, the data shows substantial variation across task types. In PassMark data compression, the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G records 253,484 points, an extremely high figure that dwarfs its other scores. Data encryption reaches 12,111 points, extended instructions hit 18,697, and floating point math lands at 43,494. Integer math scores 63,707, while the multithread benchmark records 20,285 points. Single-thread performance measures 3,829 points, and the physics test shows 999 points. Random string sorting achieves 27,407, and find prime numbers scores just 55.

The Intel Core 7 150UL, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as zero, and its percentile versus all CPUs is 50, meaning it sits at the median of the tracked population. Without any workload-specific data for the Intel part, no direct numerical comparison of compression, encryption, or math performance is possible from the recorded measurements. What the data does show is a clear gap in aggregate positioning: the AMD processor ranks in the 87th percentile, while the Intel processor sits at the 50th percentile. That 37-point percentile spread indicates the AMD part outperforms a significantly larger share of the database population than the Intel part does.

The absence of head-to-head results does not prevent a comparative read of the available figures. The AMD processor's average score of 40,718 stands against the Intel processor's unrecorded average of zero, which in database terms reflects missing test data rather than a literal performance of zero. What can be stated with confidence is that the AMD part has verified, high-scoring benchmark results across eleven workload types, while the Intel part has none recorded. The percentile data reinforces this: 87th versus 50th. Any user relying on the database to compare these two processors will find quantitative evidence only for the AMD side.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge fundamentally in their underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation built on a hybrid of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process node at TSMC. The Intel Core 7 150UL uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-PS codename, and belongs to the Core 7 generation. It is built on a 10 nm process node at Intel. The process technology difference is notable: 4 nm versus 10 nm, which typically indicates a denser, more power-efficient transistor layout for the AMD part, though the database does not specify transistor counts or die sizes for either.

Core counts differ significantly. The AMD processor has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel processor has 10 cores and 12 threads. Both parts expose 12 threads to the operating system, but they achieve this differently. The AMD part uses symmetric multithreading across 6 physical cores, delivering 2 threads per core. The Intel part uses 10 physical cores with a total of 12 threads, indicating a hybrid arrangement where some cores likely provide 2 threads and others provide 1, though the database does not break down the performance-core and efficiency-core counts. The thread parity means both processors can handle the same number of concurrent software threads, but the physical core distribution differs.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. The AMD processor lists L1 cache at 80 KB per core, L2 at 1 MB per core, and L3 at 4 MB. The Intel processor lists L1 at 80 KB per core, L2 at 1.25 MB per core, and L3 at 12 MB shared. The Intel part has a larger L3 cache by a factor of three, 12 MB versus 4 MB, and a slightly larger per-core L2. The AMD part has a smaller total cache footprint but relies on the newer process node and core architecture. The L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core.

Memory support differs in both type and capability. The AMD processor supports DDR5 memory only, with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. It also supports ECC memory, a feature often associated with reliability-focused workloads. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus, but the database records no memory bandwidth figure for it, and it does not support ECC memory. The AMD part's narrower memory type support is offset by a higher recorded bandwidth and ECC capability.

PCIe connectivity shows a difference in lane count. The AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 10 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel processor provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes. Both use the same PCIe generation, but the AMD part offers two additional lanes for peripheral or storage connectivity. Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses the Radeon 840M, while the Intel part uses Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. The database does not provide graphics benchmark scores for either, so no performance comparison is possible from the recorded data.

Socket compatibility separates the two entirely. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700. These are not interchangeable platforms, meaning motherboard choice is dictated by the processor. The AMD part also has a locked multiplier, as does the Intel part, so neither supports user overclocking through multiplier adjustment. The AMD processor's release date is recorded as March 2026, while the Intel processor's release date is April 2024, a nearly two-year gap in market introduction. The AMD part is the newer design by a substantial margin.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear performance advantage for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G in aggregate benchmark positioning. The AMD processor records an average benchmark score of 40,718 and sits at the 87th percentile among all CPUs. The Intel Core 7 150UL has no recorded benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile. For users who prioritize measured performance across varied workloads, the database points decisively toward the AMD part. Its verified scores span data compression, encryption, math operations, multithreaded tasks, and single-thread tasks, with the multithread score of 20,285 and single-thread score of 3,829 providing concrete reference points.

The Intel part's advantages are architectural rather than performance-based in the recorded data. It has a larger L3 cache at 12 MB versus 4 MB, supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, and has a higher boost clock at 5.00 GHz versus 4.50 GHz. It also has a lower TDP at 15 versus 65, which indicates a much lower power draw, though the database does not record wattage figures for either part beyond the TDP field. The Intel part's release date of April 2024 also means it has been in the market longer. However, none of these advantages are backed by benchmark scores in the database, so their practical impact cannot be quantified from the available measurements.

For a user selecting between these two processors strictly on the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G is the only one with demonstrated benchmark results, and those results place it well above the median CPU population. The Intel Core 7 150UL offers a larger cache and lower power envelope, but its performance metrics are unrecorded, leaving its real-world speed unverifiable in this database. The AMD part also offers ECC memory support, a feature absent from the Intel part, and two additional PCIe lanes. The Intel part's dual memory type support may appeal to systems with existing DDR4 modules, but the AMD part's higher recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s provides a measurable advantage.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G wins in every measurable benchmark category, as it is the only one of the two with benchmark scores. Its percentile ranking of 87 versus 50 for the Intel part means it outperforms a far larger share of the database population. Its average score of 40,718 is the sole quantitative performance metric available for comparison. In specific workload types, the AMD processor demonstrates particular strength in data compression with a score of 253,484, which is more than six times its own multithread score of 20,285. This indicates a pronounced capability in compression-heavy tasks. Its integer math score of 63,707 and floating point math score of 43,494 also show robust arithmetic throughput. Single-thread performance at 3,829 points provides a reference for lightly threaded applications.

The Intel Core 7 150UL wins on architectural traits that the database records but does not measure. Its L3 cache of 12 MB is triple the AMD part's 4 MB, which could benefit workloads with large working sets that fit in cache, though no benchmark confirms this. Its boost clock of 5.00 GHz exceeds the AMD part's 4.50 GHz, offering a higher peak frequency for bursty single-thread activity, again unverified by scores. Its TDP of 15 watts is far lower than the AMD part's 65 watts, suggesting a substantially lower power draw for thermally constrained systems. The Intel part also supports DDR4 memory, which may allow reuse of existing memory modules, and it has been available since April 2024, giving it a longer market presence. None of these traits are quantified by benchmark results in the database, so they remain qualitative advantages.
