Intel Core 5 120UL vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the Intel Core 5 120UL and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and neither the winsA nor winsB counters show any recorded victories for either processor. This absence of direct comparative data means the analysis must rely on the standalone benchmark scores recorded for the Intel part and the architectural specifications of the Qualcomm part.

For the Intel Core 5 120UL, the recorded benchmark suite shows a multicore Cinebench R23 score of 8974 and a single-core score of 1266. In Cinebench R20, the scores are 3769 multicore and 531 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test records 904 multicore and 127 single-core. PassMark results show a multithread score of 10558, a single-thread score of 2080, integer math at 38060, floating-point math at 26311, data compression at 109090, data encryption at 7685, extended instructions at 5203, prime number finding at 47, physics at 807, and random string sorting at 13610. The average benchmark score across all tests is 13594.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 has no benchmark scores recorded in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its percentile versus all CPUs is 50. The Intel Core 5 120UL holds a percentile of 68, indicating it outperforms a larger share of all recorded CPUs. The nearest rivals for the Intel part include the Intel Core i3-12100F with an average score of 13494 and a delta of 0.7 percent, the Intel Core 3 N355 with 13492 and a delta of 0.8 percent, the Intel Core i5-9500 with 13452 and a delta of 1.1 percent, and the Intel Core 3 304 with 13745 and a delta of negative 1.1 percent. These deltas place the Intel Core 5 120UL within a tight performance cluster, slightly above three of its four nearest rivals and slightly below the Core 3 304.

Because the Qualcomm part lacks benchmark entries, no direct numerical comparison can be made between the two processors. The Intel part delivers recorded scores across multiple rendering and computational workloads, while the Qualcomm part offers no such data. The database indicates that the Intel part sits at the 68th percentile, while the Qualcomm part sits at the 50th percentile, a gap of 18 percentage points. This percentile difference suggests that, based on the population of CPUs with recorded scores, the Intel part outperforms a substantially larger fraction of the field.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the Intel Core 5 120UL in terms of recorded performance evidence. It has a full suite of benchmark scores across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and multiple PassMark workloads. Its average benchmark score of 13594 places it at the 68th percentile of all CPUs, with nearest rivals within a 1.1 percent delta range. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 has no recorded benchmark scores, an average score of 0, and sits at the 50th percentile. Based strictly on the database, the Intel part delivers measurable performance, while the Qualcomm part provides no benchmark data to assess its computational capabilities.

For workloads involving multithreaded rendering, the Intel part records a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 8974. For single-threaded tasks, its Cinebench R23 single-core score is 1266. The PassMark multithread score of 10558 and single-thread score of 2080 further characterize its performance profile. The Qualcomm part, with no scores, cannot be compared on any of these metrics.

The Intel Core 5 120UL is the only processor in this comparison with recorded data. Users seeking a processor with verified benchmark results would find support for the Intel part. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 remains unmeasured in the database, making any performance claim impossible to substantiate from the available facts. The percentile gap of 18 points further reinforces the Intel part's stronger standing in the recorded CPU population.
