AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 vs Intel Core 7 150UL Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison: the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 has a full suite of benchmark results, while the Intel Core 7 150UL has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This absence of data for the Intel part makes a direct head-to-head numerical comparison impossible. The database shows the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 delivering a multicore score of 18,316 in Cinebench R23 and a single-core score of 2,038 in the same test. In Cinebench R15, the AMD chip records a multicore score of 2,713 and a single-core score of 215.

The AMD processor's PassMark results provide a broader view of its compute characteristics. It scores 88,531 in integer math, 54,447 in floating-point math, and 22,400 in extended instructions. Data compression reaches 315,906, while encryption scores 16,247. Prime number finding is relatively modest at 89, and random string sorting achieves 35,648. The multithread score stands at 26,350, with physics at 1,578 and single-thread at 3,901.

Without any benchmark entries for the Intel Core 7 150UL, the database cannot establish win counts for either processor. The head-to-head comparison field is empty, and both win counters show zero. The Intel part's average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and its percentile versus all CPUs sits at 50. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450, by contrast, holds an 87th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 39,485. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS at 39,603 (0.3% lower), the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS at 39,325 (0.4% higher), the AMD EPYC 4245P at 39,215 (0.7% higher), and the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D at 39,768 (0.7% lower). These deltas show the Ryzen AI 7 450 clustering tightly with a group of established AMD parts, all within roughly a percentage point of each other.

The implication is clear: the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 is a measured quantity with strong, verified performance data, whereas the Intel Core 7 150UL is an unmeasured quantity in this database. The data cannot support any claim of superiority for the Intel part, nor can it precisely quantify the gap between the two. What the data does show is that the AMD processor sits comfortably in the upper tier of all CPUs tracked, with benchmark scores that place it among capable desktop and mobile processors.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ substantially at the architectural level. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the codename Gorgon Point, belonging to the Ryzen AI 400 generation that combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is built on a 4 nm process node at TSMC, with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core 7 150UL uses the Raptor Lake architecture, codenamed Raptor Lake-PS, and belongs to the Core 7 generation. Intel fabricates this chip on a 10 nm process node at its own foundry. Process technology alone suggests a significant difference in transistor density and efficiency, though the database does not provide transistor counts for either part.

Core and thread configurations diverge notably. The AMD chip has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel chip has 10 cores and 12 threads. The Intel part has more physical cores but fewer threads, which implies a hybrid core arrangement typical of Raptor Lake designs where not all cores support simultaneous multithreading. The AMD part's uniform 8-core, 16-thread setup indicates full symmetric multithreading across all cores. Cache hierarchies also differ. Both allocate 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD processor provides 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor offers 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part holds a clear advantage in total L3 capacity, while the AMD part benefits from a larger per-core L2 allocation relative to its core count.

Clock speeds show the AMD chip with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, while the Intel chip lists a 1.70 GHz base and a 5.00 GHz boost. The AMD part holds a slight edge on both ends. Thermal design power differs considerably: the AMD processor is rated at 28 watts, while the Intel processor is rated at 15 watts. The Intel part draws less power by specification, but the AMD part delivers higher clocks and a smaller process node.

Memory support separates the two clearly. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory over a dual-channel bus, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and ECC memory support enabled. The Intel Core 7 150UL supports DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, but the database does not record a memory bandwidth figure, and ECC memory is not supported. The AMD part also provides more PCIe lanes: Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), versus the Intel part's Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD chip uses the Radeon 860M, while the Intel chip uses the Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. The AMD processor uses the AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD chip's market segment is mobile, while the Intel chip is classified as desktop. Both are active in production, and neither has a recorded launch MSRP.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 wins in every measurable benchmark category because it is the only one of the two with benchmark data. Its strongest recorded results appear in data compression at 315,906, integer math at 88,531, and floating-point math at 54,447. These scores indicate heavy computational workloads, particularly those involving large data sets, number crunching, and mathematical operations, would favor the AMD processor. The multithread score of 26,350 and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 18,316 point to strong parallel performance across its 16 threads.

The Intel Core 7 150UL cannot be said to win any category in the database, since no scores exist for it. However, the architecture data suggests where it might have an advantage if benchmarks were recorded. Its 10 cores and 12 threads, combined with 12 MB of shared L3 cache, could theoretically benefit workloads that scale with physical core count and large shared caches. Its 15-watt TDP suggests lower power draw, which could favor thermally constrained environments. The support for DDR4 alongside DDR5 gives it flexibility in memory selection, and its desktop market segment implies it is intended for always-plugged-in systems rather than battery-powered portables.

The AMD part's higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz and its 4 nm process node suggest an advantage in lightly threaded, latency-sensitive tasks where single-core speed matters. Its 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth and ECC support point toward data integrity and throughput-sensitive applications. The 16 PCIe lanes provide more headroom for expansion and peripheral connectivity than the Intel part's 8 lanes.

The Verdict

The data in the database gives a one-sided picture. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 has extensive benchmark results showing strong performance across single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads. It ranks in the 87th percentile of all CPUs tracked, with an average benchmark score of 39,485. Its nearest rivals, all AMD parts, sit within 0.7% of its score, confirming it performs in line with established mid-range and upper-mid-range processors.

The Intel Core 7 150UL has no benchmark data at all. Its average score is 0, and its percentile ranking is 50, which appears to be a default value rather than a measured result. Without recorded scores, the database cannot verify any performance claim for this processor. The architectural specifications show it has more cores, more L3 cache, and lower TDP, but no measurement confirms how those specifications translate into real-world performance.

For anyone choosing between these two based on the database, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 is the only option with verified performance. The Intel Core 7 150UL may offer attractive specifications on paper, such as 10 cores and 12 MB of L3 cache, and its 15-watt TDP suggests efficiency. But the absence of benchmark data means those specifications remain unproven. The AMD part's measured scores, particularly its Cinebench R23 multicore result of 18,316 and single-core result of 2,038, provide concrete evidence of capability. The data supports selecting the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 for workloads where verified performance matters. The Intel part would be a speculative choice, relying on specifications alone without measured validation.
