Intel Core 5 213PE vs Intel Core 7 150UL Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data presents a clear asymmetry between these two desktop processors. The Intel Core 5 213PE has a full benchmark suite with 17 recorded test scores, while the Intel Core 7 150UL has no benchmark measurements in the database at all. This means every head-to-head comparison in this analysis is derived from the Core 5 213PE's measured performance against the Core 7 150UL's absence of recorded results.

The Core 5 213PE delivers strong multi-threaded performance, as shown by its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22468 and PassMark multi-thread score of 26434. Its single-thread capability is equally notable, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3172 and a PassMark single-thread score of 4060. The Core 7 150UL has no corresponding scores to compare, so its winning profile cannot be established from the database.

The Core 7 150UL does win in one structural category: core count. It offers 10 cores and 12 threads versus the Core 5 213PE's 8 cores and 16 threads. However, the Core 5 213PE has more threads (16 versus 12), which supports its higher multi-threaded benchmark output. The data indicates the Core 5 213PE is the only part with verified performance numbers, placing it at the 85th percentile among all CPUs, while the Core 7 150UL sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural generations. The Core 5 213PE is based on Bartlett Lake, a 10 nm design from Intel, while the Core 7 150UL uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename, also on a 10 nm node. Both are manufactured by Intel and use the Intel Socket 1700, so they fit the same motherboard platform.

The cache configurations diverge significantly. The Core 5 213PE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core 7 150UL also has 80 KB of L1 per core but only 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. This means the Core 5 213PE carries twice the L3 cache and substantially more L2 cache per core, which typically benefits workloads that repeatedly access the same data.

Clock speeds favor the Core 5 213PE in both base and boost operation. Its base clock is 2.70 GHz with a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Core 7 150UL operates at a 1.70 GHz base clock and boosts to 5.00 GHz. The Core 5 213PE has a TDP of 65 watts versus 15 watts for the Core 7 150UL, indicating the Core 5 213PE is designed for sustained performance while the Core 7 150UL prioritizes efficiency.

Memory support matches on both parts: DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory buses. The Core 5 213PE has a recorded memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, while the Core 7 150UL has no bandwidth figure listed. ECC memory support is present on the Core 5 213PE but absent on the Core 7 150UL. PCIe connectivity also differs: the Core 5 213PE provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Core 7 150UL provides Gen 4 with 8 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics are different as well. The Core 5 213PE uses UHD Graphics 730, while the Core 7 150UL uses Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. The release dates show the Core 7 150UL launched on 2024-04-07, while the Core 5 213PE launched on 2026-03-08, making the Core 5 213PE the newer part by roughly two years. The Core 5 213PE has a launch MSRP of $221, while the Core 7 150UL has no listed launch price.

The Verdict

The benchmark data supports the Core 5 213PE as the stronger performer across every measured category. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22468 and PassMark integer math score of 92089 indicate robust compute capability for demanding applications. The single-thread performance is equally strong, with a Cinebench R20 single-core score of 1332 and PassMark single-thread score of 4060, placing it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs.

The Core 7 150UL cannot be evaluated on measured performance because the database contains no benchmark scores for it. Its 50th percentile ranking and zero average benchmark score confirm this absence of data. The Core 7 150UL does offer more cores (10 versus 8), but fewer threads (12 versus 16), and its lower clock speeds and smaller cache suggest it is positioned for efficiency rather than peak performance.

For workloads that rely on multi-threaded throughput, the Core 5 213PE's 16 threads and 24 MB L3 cache provide a structural advantage. For single-threaded tasks, its 5.20 GHz boost clock leads the comparison. The Core 7 150UL's 15 watt TDP indicates a power-conscious design, but without benchmark measurements, its actual performance characteristics remain unverified in the database.

Users seeking a part with verified high performance should select the Core 5 213PE. Users prioritizing a lower thermal envelope and more physical cores may consider the Core 7 150UL, but they should note that no measured performance data exists to confirm its capability.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark section in the database is empty, so there are no direct comparison scores between the Core 5 213PE and the Core 7 150UL. The Core 5 213PE has its own comprehensive benchmark results, but the Core 7 150UL has no recorded measurements. This makes a side-by-side numerical comparison impossible for any individual test.

The Core 5 213PE's Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 2264 and single-core score of 319 demonstrate its capability in rendering workloads. Its Cinebench R20 results of 9436 multi-core and 1332 single-core follow the same pattern. The Cinebench R23 scores are 22468 multi-core and 3172 single-core, showing consistent scaling across Cinebench versions.

PassMark results for the Core 5 213PE cover a wide range of operations. Data compression scores 298804, data encryption scores 15916, and extended instructions score 19565. Prime number finding scores 114, floating point math scores 68587, and integer math scores 92089. The multi-thread score is 26434, physics scores 1624, random string sorting scores 32027, and single-thread scores 4060.

The Core 7 150UL has no such data. Its average benchmark score is zero, and its nearest rivals list is empty. This means the Core 5 213PE has a measurable performance profile, while the Core 7 150UL does not. Any claim about the Core 7 150UL's performance would require external information, which is not permitted in this analysis.

The Core 5 213PE's nearest rivals from the database include the Intel Core i7-13700T with an average score of 35403 and a delta of 0.1 percent, the Intel Core i7-12700KF at 35365 with a delta of 0.2 percent, the Intel Core i5-13600T at 35305 with a delta of 0.3 percent, and the Intel Core i7-12700K at 35287 with a delta of 0.4 percent. These deltas show the Core 5 213PE is tightly clustered with these processors, all within a fraction of a percent of each other in average score.
