Intel Core 5 330 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 5 330 and Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 occupy different positions in the database. The Intel part has a complete set of recorded benchmark results, while the Qualcomm part currently has no benchmark entries. This means the head-to-head comparison relies entirely on the Intel processor's measured performance and the Qualcomm processor's lack of measured results.

The Intel Core 5 330 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13,150 points and a single-core score of 1,856 points. In Cinebench R20, it records 5,523 multi-core and 779 single-core. The R15 results show 1,325 multi-core and 186 single-core. These scores place the Intel processor at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs in the database.

The Intel Core 5 330 has an average benchmark score of 18,345. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i3-14100 with an average score of 18,318 and a delta of 0.1%, the Intel Core 7 360 at 18,374 with a delta of -0.2%, the Intel Core i3-13100 at 18,380 with a delta of -0.2%, and the Intel Core 3 305 at 18,302 with a delta of 0.2%. These deltas indicate the Core 5 330 sits within a tight cluster of comparable processors, less than a third of a percent away from each neighbor.

PassMark results for the Intel Core 5 330 show 145,287 in data compression, 11,076 in data encryption, 12,808 in extended instructions, 114 in prime number finding, 43,885 in floating point math, 33,258 in integer math, 15,471 in multithreaded performance, 1,201 in physics, 17,771 in random string sorting, and 4,088 in single-threaded performance. The single-thread score appears twice in the database under slightly different test labels, confirming consistency.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 has no benchmark scores recorded in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and it has no nearest rivals. The percentile ranking for this processor is 50, though with no measured results, this percentile reflects its position based on recorded specifications rather than performance data.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 330 wins every measured comparison because it is the only processor in this pairing with recorded benchmark data. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13,150 indicates strong sustained multi-threaded capability for a 6-core, 6-thread mobile processor. The single-core score of 1,856 in the same test shows competitive per-thread performance.

PassMark integer math at 33,258 and floating point math at 43,885 suggest the Intel processor handles general-purpose compute tasks with balanced throughput. Data compression at 145,287 runs well ahead of encryption at 11,076, indicating the processor is better suited to memory-bandwidth-bound compression workloads than to cryptographic operations. Extended instructions score 12,808, which covers SIMD and specialized instruction path performance. Random string sorting at 17,771 reflects memory sorting and pointer-chasing behavior. Physics at 1,201 and prime number finding at 114 round out the compute profile.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 records no wins because the database contains no benchmark entries for it. The processor carries a higher core count of 10 cores and 10 threads, a base clock of 3.40 GHz, and a 35 W TDP, but without measured results, the database cannot confirm how these specifications translate into performance. Its 50th percentile ranking places it at the median of all CPUs, based on specification-derived positioning rather than observed scores.

The Intel Core 5 330, by contrast, sits at the 72nd percentile with an average benchmark score of 18,345. The gap between the two processors in recorded data means the Intel part wins all 17 benchmark comparisons listed in the database.
