AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 vs Intel Core 7 150HL Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data for these two processors shows no benchmark wins for either side, with winsA and winsB both at zero. This is an unusual situation in the database: the head-to-head benchmark list is empty, so there are no measured scores to split between the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 and the Intel Core 7 150HL. Neither processor establishes a lead in any workload category because no benchmark entries exist for either part.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 and the Intel Core 7 150HL both sit at the 50th percentile among all CPUs tracked in the database. This places both parts at the median of the recorded CPU population. With an identical percentile rank, the data suggests these two processors occupy a similar overall performance tier, though the lack of individual benchmark scores means the percentile figure is the only direct performance signal available.

The AMD part carries a higher base clock of 3.60 GHz versus 2.40 GHz for the Intel part, while both reach the same 5.00 GHz boost clock. The AMD processor also has a higher TDP of 55 watts against 45 watts for the Intel chip. These figures indicate that the AMD design is configured for a higher sustained operating point, but without benchmark measurements, the practical performance difference cannot be quantified from the database.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 uses the Gorgon Halo codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Max PRO generation built on the Zen 5 architecture. The Intel Core 7 150HL uses the Raptor Lake-PS codename and belongs to the Core 7 generation built on the Raptor Lake architecture. These are fundamentally different designs: Zen 5 is AMD's latest core architecture, while Raptor Lake is Intel's hybrid performance-core design from an earlier generation.

The manufacturing process differs substantially. AMD fabricates the Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 on a 4 nm process at TSMC, while Intel builds the Core 7 150HL on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The smaller process node gives AMD a potential density and efficiency advantage, though the database does not include transistor counts for either part. The AMD die size is recorded as 70.6 mm², while the Intel die size is not listed.

Core counts and thread counts differ significantly. The AMD processor has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel processor has 14 cores and 20 threads. The Intel part uses more cores but fewer additional threads, indicating a hybrid layout with performance and efficiency cores typical of Raptor Lake designs. The AMD part uses a uniform 8-core, 16-thread configuration.

Cache hierarchies also differ. Both parts use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD processor uses 1 MB of L2 per core and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor uses 2 MB of L2 per core and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. This gives AMD more total L3 capacity but less L2 per core.

Memory support and bandwidth show major differences. The AMD processor supports LPDDR5X memory over a quad-channel bus with a recorded bandwidth of 273.1 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus, with no bandwidth figure recorded. The AMD memory subsystem delivers a much wider interface and higher theoretical throughput. The AMD part also supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel processor provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes from the CPU. This gives the AMD platform twice the CPU-attached PCIe lane count.

The integrated graphics solutions are different. AMD uses the Radeon 8050S, while Intel uses the Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. The database does not include performance figures for either iGPU, so only the presence and naming of these solutions can be noted.

The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP11, while the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part targets the mobile market segment, while the Intel part targets the desktop segment. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD release date is recorded as May 19, 2026, while the Intel release date is April 7, 2024. The AMD part number is 100-000002144, while the Intel part number is listed as unknown.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark array in the database is empty. No single-thread, multi-thread, or application-specific scores are recorded for either processor. As a result, there are no exact numbers to walk through for the biggest wins in either direction. The database contains zero benchmark entries for both the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 and the Intel Core 7 150HL.

The only comparable data points are the structural specifications. Both processors share a 5.00 GHz boost clock. The AMD part has a 3.60 GHz base clock, which is 1.20 GHz higher than the Intel part's 2.40 GHz base clock. The AMD part has a 55 watt TDP, which is 10 watts higher than the Intel part's 45 watt TDP. The AMD part has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel part has 14 cores and 20 threads, a difference of 6 cores and 4 threads in favor of Intel. The AMD part has 32 MB of L3 cache versus 24 MB for Intel, a difference of 8 MB in favor of AMD. The AMD memory bandwidth is recorded at 273.1 GB/s, while no figure exists for the Intel part.

These specification gaps suggest different design priorities, but they do not constitute benchmark results. The database records both processors at the 50th percentile of all CPUs, which is the only performance-level indicator available. Without measured scores, any claim about which processor wins a given workload would be unsupported by the recorded data.

The Verdict

The data in the database does not support a performance verdict between the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 and the Intel Core 7 150HL. Both processors sit at the 50th percentile among all CPUs, and neither has any recorded benchmark scores. The head-to-head comparison is empty, so no measured advantage exists for either side.

What the data does show is a clear division of design intent. The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 is a mobile processor with a quad-channel LPDDR5X memory interface delivering 273.1 GB/s of bandwidth, 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, ECC support, and a 4 nm TSMC process. It uses 8 Zen 5 cores with 16 threads, 32 MB of L3 cache, and a 55 watt TDP. The Intel Core 7 150HL is a desktop processor with a dual-channel DDR4/DDR5 interface, 8 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, no ECC support, and a 10 nm Intel process. It uses 14 Raptor Lake cores with 20 threads, 24 MB of L3 cache, and a 45 watt TDP.

Users who prioritize memory bandwidth, PCIe lane count, ECC support, and the newer 4 nm process would find the AMD part aligned with those requirements. Users who prioritize core count, thread count, and a lower TDP would find the Intel part aligned with those requirements. The Intel part also has an earlier release date of April 7, 2024, compared to May 19, 2026 for the AMD part. Neither processor offers an unlocked multiplier, and neither has a recorded launch MSRP in the database.

The verdict from the recorded data is that these are two differently configured processors with no measured performance separation. The choice between them depends on platform-level features rather than benchmark results, which are absent from the database for both parts.
