Intel Core 3 100UL vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no benchmark scores for either the Intel Core 3 100UL or the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, the average benchmark score for both processors is 0, and the win counters show 0 for each side. Consequently, there are no numerical performance comparisons to report between these two parts.

Both processors sit at the 50th percentile in the database's distribution of all CPUs. This percentile value indicates that, based on the existing data, neither part currently has a measurable performance advantage over the other. The absence of benchmark entries means the database cannot yet confirm which processor delivers higher single-threaded throughput, multi-threaded throughput, or application-specific performance.

The lack of data is notable given the architectural differences between the two. The Intel part uses a 6-core, 8-thread configuration with a 1.20 GHz base clock and a 4.50 GHz boost clock. The Qualcomm part uses an 8-core, 8-thread configuration with a 3.00 GHz base clock and no recorded boost clock. Without benchmark results, clock speed and core count differences cannot be translated into performance deltas.

The database records no nearest rivals for either processor. This means there is no reference point to contextualize the 50th percentile ranking against comparable products. The percentile field is the only performance-related metric present, and it is identical for both. As such, the data supports only a neutral position: neither processor has demonstrated superiority in any measured workload.

The Verdict

From the available data, neither the Intel Core 3 100UL nor the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 can be recommended over the other on performance grounds. The benchmark database shows zero recorded scores for both, identical percentile rankings, and no head-to-head results. Any selection between these two must therefore rely on non-performance factors, such as platform compatibility, power envelope, or integrated graphics capabilities.

The Intel Core 3 100UL targets the desktop segment with an Intel Socket 1700 interface. It uses a 15 W TDP, which is a modest power requirement for a desktop part. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 targets the mobile segment with a Qualcomm BGA 2073 socket and a 25 W TDP. The Qualcomm part draws more power but is designed for mobile integration.

Users with an existing Socket 1700 platform may find the Intel part more straightforward to install. Users building a new mobile system would look to the Qualcomm part. The data does not indicate which is faster, so the verdict is strictly a matter of form factor and socket compatibility. The Intel part is a desktop processor; the Qualcomm part is a mobile processor. That distinction is the only clear differentiator supported by the database.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across several specification fields in the database.

The Intel Core 3 100UL has 6 cores and 8 threads. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 has 8 cores and 8 threads. The Intel part has a base clock of 1.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. The Qualcomm part has a base clock of 3.00 GHz and no recorded boost clock.

The thermal design power differs: the Intel part is rated at 15 W, while the Qualcomm part is rated at 25 W. The socket types are entirely different. The Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700, and the Qualcomm part uses Qualcomm BGA 2073.

Memory support also differs. The Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration. The Qualcomm part supports LPDDR5X memory in a dual-channel configuration and has a recorded memory bandwidth of 135.2 GB/s. The Intel part has no recorded memory bandwidth figure.

The PCIe lanes differ. The Intel part provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). The Qualcomm part provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics differ: Intel uses UHD Graphics 64EU, and Qualcomm uses Adreno X1-45.

The market segments differ. The Intel part is designated as a Desktop processor, while the Qualcomm part is designated as Mobile.

Release dates differ. The Intel Core 3 100UL has a release date of 2024-04-07, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 has a release date of 2024-08-27.

Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The Intel part has a part number listed as "unknown," while the Qualcomm part has the part number X1P26100.

Architecture Differences

The architecture records show substantial differences between the two processors.

The Intel Core 3 100UL is based on Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-PS codename, and belongs to the Core 3 (Raptor Lake-PS) generation. It uses a 10 nm process node fabricated by Intel. The cache hierarchy is as follows: 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 10 MB of shared L3 cache.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 is based on the Oryon codename and belongs to the Snapdragon X (Plus) generation. The architecture field is not specified in the database. It uses a 4 nm process node fabricated by TSMC. The cache hierarchy is different: 288 KB of L1 cache per core, 12 MB of L2 cache per module, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache.

The L2 cache organization differs notably. The Intel part allocates L2 per core, while the Qualcomm part allocates L2 per module. The L1 cache is substantially larger on the Qualcomm part: 288 KB per core versus 80 KB per core on the Intel part. The shared L3 cache is larger on the Intel part: 10 MB versus 6 MB.

The Intel part uses a Raptor Lake-PS architecture that is a desktop-oriented variant of Intel's Raptor Lake family. The Qualcomm part uses an Oryon core design, which is a custom ARM-based architecture developed for Qualcomm's Snapdragon X platform. The process node difference is significant: 10 nm for Intel versus 4 nm for TSMC, which indicates a more advanced manufacturing process for the Qualcomm part.

Neither processor supports ECC memory. Neither processor has a 3D V-Cache option recorded. The memory bus is dual-channel for both, but the memory types differ, as noted in the specification section.

The integrated graphics architectures are also distinct. Intel uses its UHD Graphics 64EU, which is part of Intel's integrated GPU lineup. Qualcomm uses Adreno X1-45, which is part of Qualcomm's Adreno GPU family. The database does not provide performance metrics for either integrated GPU.

The release dates differ by several months, with the Intel part appearing earlier in the database. Both are listed as Active in production status, meaning both are currently available in the market. Neither has a launch MSRP recorded in the database.
