AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 vs Intel Core 7 150HL Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 is the only one of these two processors with recorded benchmark results in the database. It holds an average benchmark score of 41,208, placing it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs tracked. The Intel Core 7 150HL has no benchmark entries, an average score of 0, and sits at the 50th percentile, which reflects the absence of data rather than measured performance.

For the AMD part, the recorded workload split shows where its architecture delivers the strongest relative results. The highest raw score comes from PassMark data compression at 256,420, followed by integer math at 65,991 and floating point math at 42,934. Single-thread performance registers 3,785, while multithread performance reaches 21,054. The lowest scores appear in find prime numbers at 77 and physics at 1,119, both of which are typical of mobile-oriented processors with moderate power envelopes.

The Intel Core 7 150HL cannot be assigned any workload wins from direct measurements because no benchmark records exist for it. Its competitive position is defined entirely by its specifications: 14 cores, 20 threads, a 2.40 GHz base clock, and a 5.00 GHz boost clock. The AMD part counters with 6 cores, 12 threads, a 2.00 GHz base clock, and a 4.80 GHz boost clock. The Intel processor targets desktop systems on Socket 1700 with a 45 W TDP, while the AMD processor is a mobile part on AMD Socket FP8 with a 28 W TDP.

The database's nearest rival comparisons for the AMD processor indicate that its average score sits essentially level with several Intel Core Ultra 7 parts. The Intel Core Ultra 7 356H averages 41,215, a delta of 0%. The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H averages 41,263, a delta of -0.1%. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, a desktop part, averages 41,376, a delta of -0.4%. The Intel Core Ultra X7 358H averages 40,967, a delta of 0.6%. These deltas show the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 performing within a narrow band of roughly 0.6% of these four rivals, despite having fewer cores than most of them.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors, so a direct workload-by-workload comparison cannot be constructed from recorded measurements. What can be analyzed is the AMD processor's performance profile against its nearest rivals, which all have very similar average scores.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 produces an average score of 41,208. The closest rival is the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H with 41,215, a delta of 0%. The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H sits at 41,263, which is 0.1% higher. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X reaches 41,376, which is 0.4% higher. The Intel Core Ultra X7 358H trails at 40,967, which is 0.6% lower. These margins are small enough that the AMD processor effectively trades places with these parts depending on the specific workload, despite the Ryzen 9 5900X being a desktop chip with a much larger power budget in typical configurations.

Looking inside the AMD processor's own benchmark suite, the spread between workloads reveals its strengths. Data compression at 256,420 is by far the highest absolute score, suggesting the processor handles compression workloads exceptionally well relative to its other measured tasks. Integer math at 65,991 and floating point math at 42,934 are also strong. Extended instructions score 18,456, random string sorting scores 27,252, and data encryption scores 12,418. Single-thread performance at 3,785 and multithread performance at 21,054 provide the baseline for general productivity comparisons.

The Intel Core 7 150HL has no recorded scores in any of these tests. Its percentile of 50 is the database default for unmeasured processors, not a performance estimate. Any assertion that one processor beats the other in a specific benchmark would require fabricated data, so the honest analysis is that the AMD processor has measurable results and the Intel processor does not.

The absence of head-to-head data means the only objective comparison comes from the nearest rival deltas for the AMD part. Those deltas show that the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 performs on par with several Intel Core Ultra 7 mobile processors and a previous-generation AMD desktop flagship. That context is useful for positioning the AMD part, but it does not directly measure the Intel Core 7 150HL.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every major specification category.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 has 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel Core 7 150HL has 14 cores and 20 threads. The AMD part runs a 2.00 GHz base clock and a 4.80 GHz boost clock. The Intel part runs a 2.40 GHz base clock and a 5.00 GHz boost clock. The AMD TDP is 28 W, while the Intel TDP is 45 W.

The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part is classified as a mobile processor, while the Intel part is classified as a desktop processor. The AMD part has a process node of 4 nm from TSMC, while the Intel part uses a 10 nm process from Intel. The AMD die size is 195 mm², while the Intel die size is not recorded.

Cache configurations differ substantially. Both have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD processor has 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor has 2 MB of L2 cache per core and 24 MB of shared L3 cache.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with dual-channel operation and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with dual-channel operation, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded. ECC memory is supported on the AMD processor but not on the Intel processor.

PCIe connectivity also differs. The AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes for the CPU. The Intel processor provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes for the CPU. Integrated graphics differ: the AMD part uses Radeon 840M, while the Intel part uses Iris Xe Graphics 96EU.

The Intel processor was released in April 2024, while the AMD processor carries a release date of January 2026. Neither processor has a recorded launch MSRP. Both are currently marked as active production parts, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 is built on the Zen 5 architecture with the codename Gorgon Point. Its generation is listed as Ryzen AI PRO 400, which uses a mix of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The process node is 4 nm, fabricated by TSMC, with a die size of 195 mm². The L2 cache is 1 MB per core, and the L3 cache is 8 MB.

The Intel Core 7 150HL is built on the Raptor Lake architecture with the codename Raptor Lake-PS. Its generation is listed simply as Core 7. The process node is 10 nm, fabricated by Intel, with no die size recorded. The L2 cache is 2 MB per core, and the L3 cache is 24 MB shared across the processor.

These architectural differences explain several observed specification gaps. The AMD part's smaller process node allows a 28 W TDP while still reaching a 4.80 GHz boost clock, which suits its mobile market segment. The Intel part uses a larger 10 nm process, a higher 45 W TDP, and a 5.00 GHz boost clock, consistent with its desktop positioning. The Intel part's larger L2 and L3 caches likely contribute to its higher core count and thread count, as the cache hierarchy is designed to feed 14 cores rather than 6.

The AMD part's support for LPDDR5X memory and ECC memory reflects its PRO positioning for mobile workstations and business laptops. The Intel part's support for both DDR4 and DDR5 gives system builders flexibility across a wider range of desktop platforms on Socket 1700. The PCIe lane difference, 16 lanes for AMD versus 8 lanes for Intel, also separates the two in terms of expansion capacity, though the AMD part's mobile socket limits how those lanes are used in practice.

The integrated graphics differ as well, with the AMD part using Radeon 840M and the Intel part using Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. Neither processor has benchmark records for its graphics solution in this database entry, so no performance comparison can be made there. The architectural split between Zen 5 and Raptor Lake also implies different instruction set extensions and power management behaviors, but the database records no direct measurements of those features.
