AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 vs Intel Core 7 150UL Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a comprehensive benchmark profile for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392, while the Intel Core 7 150UL entry has no individual benchmark scores listed. This asymmetry limits a direct per-test comparison, but the available data for the AMD part and its position relative to other processors in the database provides a clear picture of its performance standing.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 posts an average benchmark score of 90,541 across the recorded test suite. This figure places it in the 96th percentile of all CPUs in the database, indicating that it outperforms the vast majority of processors measured. The Intel Core 7 150UL, by contrast, sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero, reflecting the absence of recorded test data for that part. The percentile gap of 46 points between the two is substantial, though it largely stems from missing measurements rather than a direct head-to-head result.

Looking at the AMD processor's individual test scores, the data shows strong performance in several computationally intensive workloads. In the PassMark integer math test, the Ryzen AI Max+ 392 scores 152,414. Its floating point math score reaches 99,548. The extended instructions test yields 45,666, while data compression scores 554,760. Data encryption completes at 27,784, and find prime numbers scores 320. Random string sorting produces 59,487. The multithread score is 45,231, and the single-thread score is 3,927. Physics testing delivers 2,887.

The nearest rivals in the database for the AMD processor include the Intel Xeon 654 with an average score of 90,717, which is 0.2% higher. The AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX averages 91,199, 0.7% above. The Intel Xeon w7-2575X trails by 2.7% at 88,172, and the Intel Xeon 6736P is 3% behind at 87,864. The Ryzen AI Max+ 392 thus lands within a tight cluster of high-end processors, essentially matching the Xeon 654 and Ryzen 9 9955HX while edging out the two Xeon workstation parts by small margins.

The Intel Core 7 150UL has no nearest rivals listed and no benchmark scores recorded, so its relative performance cannot be quantified from the database. The available data only establishes that it carries a 50th percentile ranking, which places it at the median of all CPUs. Without test scores, a numeric comparison against the AMD part is not possible from the recorded information.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural lineages. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the codename Strix Halo, while the Intel Core 7 150UL uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the codename Raptor Lake-PS. Both are active production parts, but the AMD chip is built on a 4 nm process by TSMC, whereas the Intel chip uses a 10 nm process from Intel's own foundry.

The AMD processor integrates 12 cores with 24 threads, a configuration that enables simultaneous multithreading across all cores. The Intel processor offers 10 cores and 12 threads, indicating a hybrid arrangement where some cores do not support multithreading. The AMD part's base clock is 3.20 GHz with a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel part has a base clock of 1.70 GHz and the same 5.00 GHz boost clock. Both processors have locked multipliers, meaning they do not support user overclocking.

Cache hierarchies differ notably. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 64 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core 7 150UL also provides 80 KB of L1 per core but has 1.25 MB of L2 per core and only 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD part thus carries significantly more total L3 cache, which can benefit workloads with large working sets.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD processor uses LPDDR5X memory with a quad-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s. It also supports ECC memory. The Intel processor uses DDR4 or DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus, has no ECC support, and its memory bandwidth is not recorded in the database. The AMD part's memory subsystem offers both higher channel count and a specified bandwidth figure.

The integrated graphics differ. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 includes a Radeon 8060S graphics solution. The Intel Core 7 150UL includes Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. PCIe connectivity also differs: the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only).

The physical package and socket differ as well. The AMD processor uses the AMD Socket FP11, while the Intel processor uses the Intel Socket 1700. The AMD die size is recorded as 2x 70.6 mm², while the Intel die size is not recorded.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows a stark contrast between the two processors. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 carries a complete benchmark profile with strong scores across all tested workloads, a 96th percentile ranking, and an average score of 90,541. The Intel Core 7 150UL has no benchmark scores recorded, an average score of zero, and a 50th percentile ranking. The database does not contain a direct head-to-head result between the two, so any performance comparison must rely on the available figures.

For workloads measured by the PassMark suite, the AMD processor demonstrates robust multithreaded and single-threaded capability. Its multithread score of 45,231 and single-thread score of 3,927 indicate balanced performance across both parallel and latency-sensitive tasks. The integer math score of 152,414 and floating point score of 99,548 show strength in arithmetic-heavy applications. The data compression score of 554,760 is particularly high relative to other recorded tests, suggesting efficient handling of compression workloads.

The Intel Core 7 150UL offers a much lower TDP of 15 watts versus 55 watts, which indicates a design focused on power efficiency. It also uses a smaller core count with 10 cores and 12 threads, and a smaller 12 MB L3 cache. Its dual-channel memory bus and lack of ECC support contrast with the AMD part's quad-channel LPDDR5X and ECC capability. The Intel part targets the desktop segment with DDR4 and DDR5 support, while the AMD part targets mobile with LPDDR5X.

The AMD processor's 96th percentile ranking places it among the top processors in the database, and its average score sits within 1% of two high-end rivals while leading two others by roughly 3%. The Intel processor's median percentile offers no indication of high-end performance from the recorded data. Users requiring proven, high-throughput computation across a range of benchmarks would select the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 based on the available evidence. Users prioritizing a low-power desktop processor with a 2024 release date and Intel's Raptor Lake architecture would consider the Intel Core 7 150UL, though its performance profile remains unquantified in the database.
