Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural generations and target different market segments. The Intel Core 7 150HL uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-PS codename, built on Intel's 10 nm process node. It is a desktop processor with 14 cores and 20 threads, a base clock of 2.40 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. Its thermal design power is 45 watts. The 150HL uses an Intel Socket 1700 and supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory over a dual-channel memory bus. Its cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The integrated graphics are Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. The PCIe interface is Gen 4 with 8 lanes from the CPU only.

The Intel Core 7 350 uses the Wildcat Lake codename, built on a 3 nm process node. It is a mobile processor with 6 cores and 6 threads, a base clock of 1.50 GHz, and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. Its thermal design power is 15 watts, one third of the 150HL's TDP. The 350 uses Intel BGA 1516 socket and supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory over a single-channel memory bus, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 59.7 GB/s. Its cache includes 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The integrated graphics are Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. The PCIe interface is Gen 4 with 6 lanes from the CPU only.

The process node difference is substantial: 10 nm for the 150HL versus 3 nm for the 350. The cache layouts also differ significantly. The 350 has more than twice the L1 cache per core (192 KB versus 80 KB) and slightly more L2 per core (2.5 MB versus 2 MB), but far less shared L3 (6 MB versus 24 MB). The 150HL has 14 cores and 20 threads, which enables simultaneous multithreading, while the 350 has 6 cores and 6 threads with no SMT. The 350's single-channel memory bus contrasts with the 150HL's dual-channel bus. The 150HL is a desktop part with a 45 W TDP, while the 350 is a mobile part with a 15 W TDP.

The Verdict

The recorded data heavily favors the Intel Core 7 350 in terms of measured performance, but only because the Core 7 150HL lacks any benchmark entries. The 350's average score of 17779 and 71st percentile ranking place it among capable mid-range processors. Its nearest rivals all sit within 0.7 percent of its average score, meaning the 350 is statistically indistinguishable from those parts in aggregate performance. The 350's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 8030 and single-core score of 2046 demonstrate a balanced profile for a 6-core, 6-thread mobile chip.

For the 150HL, the absence of benchmark data means no performance claims can be made from the database. Its architectural specifications, however, indicate a very different design: 14 cores, 20 threads, a 5.00 GHz boost clock, dual-channel memory, and a 45 W TDP. Those specifications suggest higher multi-threaded capacity than the 350, but the database does not quantify that advantage. Users who require the 150HL's desktop socket, dual-channel memory, larger L3 cache, and higher core count would select it based on those features, not on measured scores. Users who need a mobile processor with a much lower TDP, a smaller footprint, and a 3 nm process node would select the 350. The 350 also has the advantage of an active production status with a recorded release date of 2026-04-15, while the 150HL has a release date of 2024-04-07 and is also active.

The percentile data reinforces this split. The 350 ranks at the 71st percentile, meaning it outperforms roughly 71 percent of all CPUs in the database. The 150HL's 50th percentile is a neutral placeholder, not a measured result. The verdict from the data is straightforward: the Core 7 350 is the only one of the two with verified benchmark performance, and it sits in a tight competitive band near several other processors.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 150HL wins on raw core and thread counts. With 14 cores and 20 threads, it offers more than double the thread count of the 350's 6 cores and 6 threads. It also has a higher boost clock (5.00 GHz versus 4.80 GHz), a larger shared L3 cache (24 MB versus 6 MB), and a dual-channel memory bus that can address both DDR4 and DDR5 modules. These features position the 150HL for desktop workloads where multi-threaded throughput and cache capacity matter. Its 45 W TDP is higher, which is acceptable for a desktop platform with a socketed CPU.

The Intel Core 7 350 wins on process technology and efficiency. Its 3 nm node is significantly more advanced than the 150HL's 10 nm node, and its 15 W TDP is one third of the 150HL's. The 350 also has a smaller physical footprint with a BGA socket, making it suitable for compact mobile designs. It supports LPDDR5X memory, which is common in thin laptops, and has a higher L1 cache per core (192 KB versus 80 KB). The 350 is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark scores, and those scores place it at the 71st percentile. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 8030 and single-core score of 2046 are the only measured performance data available for either chip.

In terms of database metrics, the 350 is the clear winner on verified performance, with an average score of 17779 versus the 150HL's unmeasured zero. The 350 also sits near four other processors within a 0.7 percent band, showing that its performance is competitive with those parts. The 150HL cannot claim any benchmark wins because no benchmarks were recorded. For workloads that depend on high thread counts, large shared cache, and dual-channel memory bandwidth, the 150HL's specifications suggest an advantage, but the database provides no scores to confirm it. For workloads that depend on single-thread speed, the 350's Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2046 is the only concrete data point available.
