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

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data provides a clear picture for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440, which has a substantial set of measurements, while the Intel Core 7 150UL has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This means the AMD processor is the only one of the two with quantifiable performance results, and it holds wins across every category where data exists.

Looking at the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 specifically, its strongest relative performances appear in specific workload types. The data shows a PassMark single-thread score of 3785, which places it in the 87th percentile against all CPUs in the database. This indicates strong performance in lightly threaded tasks such as everyday application responsiveness and legacy software that relies on one or two cores. For multi-threaded work, the PassMark multithread score of 21054 combined with an average benchmark score of 41208 confirms that the processor handles parallel workloads effectively, though the single-thread result is the more distinctive figure relative to its class.

The Intel Core 7 150UL, by contrast, has no benchmark scores listed. Its percentile versus all CPUs is recorded at 50, which is the median position by definition, but without actual test results, the database cannot confirm any specific workload advantage. The processor's specifications suggest it is designed for a different power envelope, with a 15 W TDP compared to the AMD part's 28 W TDP, so the absence of benchmark data leaves its performance profile undefined in these records.

For users prioritizing raw computational output, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 delivers measurable results. The integer math score of 65991 and floating point math score of 42934 both indicate strong arithmetic throughput for scientific or financial calculations. Data compression at 256420 and random string sorting at 27252 show solid performance for file archiving and data manipulation tasks. Encryption at 12418 and extended instructions at 18456 cover security and specialized instruction set workloads. Prime number finding at 77 and physics at 1119 round out the suite with moderate scores that reflect the processor's balanced design.

The Intel Core 7 150UL, without measurements, cannot be positioned as a winner in any recorded benchmark category. Its architecture and clock specifications exist in the database, but the performance data is absent. The practical implication is that any comparison of these two processors must rely on the AMD part's measured results and the Intel part's architectural characteristics, not on direct head-to-head scores.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 uses the Zen 5 architecture on a 4 nm TSMC process node, with a die size of 195 mm². It is built on the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. This is a mobile-focused design, as indicated by its market segment classification and AMD Socket FP8.

The Intel Core 7 150UL uses the Raptor Lake architecture on a 10 nm Intel process node, with the Raptor Lake-PS codename and a Core 7 generation label. It is classified as a desktop processor and uses Intel Socket 1700. The process node difference is significant: 4 nm versus 10 nm, which typically implies denser transistors and potentially better power efficiency for the AMD part, though the database does not include transistor counts for either processor.

Core configuration differs notably. The AMD processor has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel processor has 10 cores and 12 threads. Both support 12 threads, but the Intel part achieves this with more physical cores, suggesting a mix of performance and efficiency cores in the Raptor Lake design. The AMD part uses fewer cores with simultaneous multithreading to reach the same thread count.

Cache hierarchies diverge as well. The AMD processor has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor also has 80 KB of L1 cache per core but has 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. This gives the Intel part more total L3 cache, which can benefit workloads with large working sets, while the AMD part has a smaller but still functional cache arrangement.

Memory support differs. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory in a dual-channel configuration with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and ECC memory support. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 in a dual-channel configuration but has no recorded memory bandwidth figure and does not support ECC memory. The AMD part's LPDDR5X support is notable for mobile power efficiency, while the Intel part's DDR4 compatibility offers broader memory module options.

PCIe connectivity also differs. The AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes for the CPU only, while the Intel processor provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes. The AMD part's higher lane count allows for more expansion devices or faster storage configurations.

Integrated graphics distinguish the two as well. The AMD processor uses Radeon 840M, while the Intel processor uses Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. The database does not include graphics benchmarks for either, so direct comparison of GPU performance is not possible from these records.

Clock speeds show the Intel part has a higher boost clock at 5.00 GHz versus 4.80 GHz for the AMD part, but the AMD part has a higher base clock at 2.00 GHz versus 1.70 GHz. TDP is dramatically different: 28 W for AMD versus 15 W for Intel, indicating the Intel part is designed for lower power consumption, potentially for fanless or passively cooled systems.

Release dates differ substantially. The Intel Core 7 150UL was released on 2024-04-07, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 has a release date of 2026-01-04. This places the AMD part nearly two years newer in the database timeline, which may explain its more modern process node and architecture.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct head-to-head benchmark results are not available in the database for these two processors. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counts for both items are recorded as zero. This means no direct comparison scores exist to walk through.

However, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 has a full suite of PassMark benchmark results that can be interpreted on their own. The single-thread score of 3785 places the processor in the 87th percentile against all CPUs, which is a strong showing for lightly threaded performance. The multithread score of 21054, combined with the average benchmark score of 41208, gives context for parallel workloads. The nearest rivals for the AMD part are the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H with an average score of 41215 and a delta percentage of 0, the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H at 41263 with a delta of -0.1 percent, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X at 41376 with a delta of -0.4 percent, and the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H at 40967 with a delta of 0.6 percent. These deltas show the AMD processor sits within a narrow performance band around these competitors, essentially matching the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H and trailing the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X by a negligible margin.

The Intel Core 7 150UL has no benchmark scores, no average benchmark score, and no nearest rivals listed. Its percentile versus all CPUs is 50, which is the median, but this appears to be a placeholder value rather than a measured result. Without recorded data, the database cannot substantiate any specific performance claim for this processor.

The practical takeaway from the recorded data is that the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 delivers measurable performance across a range of workloads, with particularly strong single-thread results relative to its peers. The Intel Core 7 150UL remains a specification-only entry in the database, with its architectural details recorded but its performance unmeasured. Any comparison between the two based on benchmark results is therefore one-sided, favoring the AMD part solely because it has data available.
