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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive performance gap between the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G and the Intel Core 7 150UL. The AMD processor holds an average benchmark score of 63,331, placing it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Intel Core 7 150UL, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 0 and sits in the 50th percentile, indicating that no benchmark entries were recorded for it in the database. This absence of recorded measurements for the Intel part makes a direct score-for-score comparison impossible, but the existing database entries for the AMD processor provide a clear reference point.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G delivers a multi-thread score of 30,422, a single-thread score of 4,309, and a floating-point math score of 63,683. Its integer math score reaches 99,732, while data compression scores 402,831 and data encryption scores 18,937. Extended instruction workloads return 28,223, physics simulation scores 1,440, and random string sorting produces 42,663. Prime number finding returns a score of 87. These numbers establish the AMD chip as a capable desktop processor across a wide range of workloads.

The nearest rivals in the database for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G include the Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX with an average score of 63,173, a delta of 0.2 percent, the Intel Core i7-13790F at 63,080 with a delta of 0.4 percent, the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 390 at 63,765 with a delta of -0.7 percent, and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 at 62,839 with a delta of 0.8 percent. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G sits within one percentage point of all four rivals, meaning its average score is statistically close to that group. It trails the Ryzen AI Max PRO 390 by 0.7 percent but leads the Core Ultra 7 265HX by 0.2 percent, the Core i7-13790F by 0.4 percent, and the Embedded P185 by 0.8 percent. These narrow margins indicate that the Ryzen AI 7 450G competes directly with those processors in aggregate performance.

Because the Intel Core 7 150UL has no recorded benchmarks, the database cannot produce a head-to-head table. The performance context for the Intel part must be inferred from its specification profile rather than measured results.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core 7 150UL uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename, part of the Core 7 generation, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel. These are fundamentally different designs: AMD pairs a newer process node with a hybrid Zen 5 and Zen 5c core arrangement, while Intel relies on the older Raptor Lake core design on a larger process node.

The AMD chip integrates 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel chip offers 10 cores and 12 threads. Thread counts favor AMD despite the core count advantage for Intel. Cache hierarchies differ as well. The AMD processor provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor also provides 80 KB of L1 per core but offers 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part therefore has a larger total cache pool, particularly at the L3 level.

Memory support separates the two clearly. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a dual-channel bus and a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. It also supports ECC memory. The Intel Core 7 150UL supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, but it does not support ECC memory, and the database lists no memory bandwidth figure for it. The AMD part also provides 12 PCIe Gen 4 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part provides 8 PCIe Gen 4 lanes from the CPU.

The integrated graphics differ as well. AMD uses the Radeon 860M, while Intel uses Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. The AMD processor has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel processor does not. The AMD part uses AMD Socket AM5; the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD processor was released on 2026-02-28, and the Intel processor was released on 2024-04-07. Production status for both is listed as active.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G wins in measured performance categories because it is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark data. Its multi-thread score of 30,422 and single-thread score of 4,309 indicate strong general-purpose compute capability. The floating-point math score of 63,683 and integer math score of 99,732 point to solid number-crunching performance. Data compression at 402,831 and random string sorting at 42,663 suggest efficient handling of memory-heavy and sorting workloads. Extended instruction performance at 28,223 adds another dimension of capability, while encryption at 18,937 and physics at 1,440 round out the profile.

The Intel Core 7 150UL has no recorded benchmark wins in the database. Its advantages exist only at the specification level: 10 cores versus 8, more L2 cache per core at 1.25 MB versus 1 MB, 12 MB of shared L3 versus 8 MB, and support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory. These specifications could matter in workloads that scale with core count or cache capacity, but without recorded measurements, the database cannot confirm any performance advantage.

The AMD processor also wins on platform features. It supports ECC memory, which the Intel part does not. It delivers higher memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s, a figure the Intel part lacks entirely. It offers more PCIe Gen 4 lanes from the CPU at 12 versus 8. It has an unlocked multiplier for overclocking, while the Intel part is locked. Its newer release date and smaller process node also position it as the more modern design.

The Verdict

The database clearly favors the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G in measured performance. It holds an average benchmark score of 63,331, ranks in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, and posts strong multi-thread and single-thread results. Its nearest rivals sit within one percentage point of its average score, confirming that it belongs to a competitive performance tier. The Intel Core 7 150UL has no recorded benchmarks, which means the database cannot verify any performance claim for it.

The Intel part does offer a higher core count at 10 versus 8, more L3 cache at 12 MB versus 8 MB, and a lower TDP of 15 versus 65. Those specifications could appeal to a workload that prioritizes core count or power draw, but the absence of measured results leaves that appeal unverified. The AMD part counters with more threads, a higher boost clock, a smaller process node, ECC memory support, higher memory bandwidth, more PCIe lanes, and an unlocked multiplier.

For any user selecting between these two based on recorded data, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G is the only option with demonstrated performance. The Intel Core 7 150UL remains a specification-only entry in the database, and its lower TDP and higher core count do not translate into any measured advantage. The data supports choosing the AMD processor for applications that demand proven multi-threaded and single-threaded performance. The Intel processor would only be selected on the basis of its lower power envelope and larger cache, with no benchmark confirmation available.
