Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database does not contain any direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 and the Intel Core 7 150UL. The Intel processor has no recorded benchmark scores, and the head-to-head benchmark list is empty. Therefore, no direct score deltas can be calculated between the two processors.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 does have a substantial set of recorded benchmarks. In Cinebench R15, it scores 2672.5 in multi-core and 247 in single-core. In Cinebench R23, it scores 17462.5 in multi-core and 1996.5 in single-core. PassMark tests show a multi-thread score of 28986, a single-thread score of 3750, integer math at 99156, floating point math at 62411, data compression at 349463, data encryption at 17601, extended instructions at 24773, find prime numbers at 124, physics at 1689, and random string sorting at 37379.

The AMD processor's average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 43431, and it places in the 88th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 with an average score of 43326 (a delta of 0.2% relative to the Ryzen AI 9 465), the Intel Core Ultra 9 386H with an average score of 43210 (a delta of 0.5%), the AMD Ryzen 7 170 with an average score of 43689 (a delta of -0.6%), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 with an average score of 43704 (a delta of -0.6%). These small deltas indicate that the Ryzen AI 9 465 sits in a tightly competitive band, slightly ahead of the Core Ultra 9 386H and the AI Max PRO 385, and slightly behind the Ryzen 7 170 and the Ryzen 7 PRO 7745.

The Intel Core 7 150UL has no recorded benchmarks, an average benchmark score of zero, and a 50th percentile ranking among all CPUs. Without recorded data, no exact performance figures can be stated for the Intel part. The comparison must rely on specifications and the absence of recorded scores.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark performance. Its scores place it in the 88th percentile of all CPUs, with a multi-thread PassMark score of 28986 and a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17462.5. The Intel Core 7 150UL has no recorded benchmarks, so its performance cannot be quantified from the database.

The AMD processor offers 20 threads versus 12 threads for the Intel processor, a higher base clock at 2.00 GHz versus 1.70 GHz, a larger L3 cache at 16 MB versus 12 MB, a wider PCIe configuration with 16 lanes versus 8 lanes, and a smaller manufacturing process at 4 nm versus 10 nm. The Intel processor has a lower TDP at 15 watts versus 28 watts, which indicates lower power draw, but no performance data supports a comparison.

For workloads that rely on multi-threading, the AMD processor's 20 threads and higher base clock provide a structural advantage. For single-threaded tasks, both processors have the same 5.00 GHz boost clock, but the AMD processor's Zen 5 architecture and recorded single-thread score of 3750 in PassMark suggest strong performance. The Intel processor has no recorded single-thread score.

Given the absence of Intel benchmarks, the verdict favors the AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 for any user who requires measured performance. The Intel Core 7 150UL might suit low-power desktop builds, but the database provides no evidence of its speed. The AMD processor's 88th percentile ranking and an average benchmark score of 43431, compared to the Intel processor's 50th percentile and zero average score, makes the choice clear from the recorded data.

Where Each One Wins

From the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 wins in every measurable performance category. Its multi-thread PassMark score of 28986 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17462.5 indicate strong parallel processing. Its single-thread PassMark score of 3750 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1996.5 show solid single-core capability. Its data compression score of 349463 and data encryption score of 17601 demonstrate specific workload strengths. Its floating point math at 62411 and integer math at 99156 cover general arithmetic tasks. Its extended instructions score of 24773 and random string sorting at 37379 add further evidence of versatility.

The Intel Core 7 150UL has no recorded benchmarks, so it cannot be said to win any measured test. Its lower TDP of 15 watts versus 28 watts suggests a potential advantage in power-constrained scenarios, but the database does not include thermal or power efficiency benchmarks. Its support for DDR4 memory alongside DDR5 might suit older platforms, but no performance data confirms an advantage.

For users who prioritize multi-threaded workloads such as rendering, data compression, or encryption, the AMD processor's 20 threads and recorded scores position it favorably. For users who prioritize single-threaded responsiveness, the AMD processor's 5.00 GHz boost clock and recorded single-thread score provide evidence of capability. The Intel processor's 12 threads and lower base clock offer no recorded performance proof.

The AMD processor's 88th percentile ranking against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 43431, places it near the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 (43326, 0.2% ahead), the Intel Core Ultra 9 386H (43210, 0.5% ahead), the AMD Ryzen 7 170 (43689, 0.6% behind), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 (43704, 0.6% behind). These deltas show the AMD processor competing within a narrow performance band among its closest rivals, all within 0.6% of its average score.

The Intel processor's 50th percentile ranking and zero average score provide no comparable data. In the absence of Intel benchmarks, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 is the only processor with demonstrated performance in the database. The Intel Core 7 150UL remains a specification-only entry with no measured wins.
