Intel Core 7 150HL vs Intel Core i5-14490F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains no direct head-to-head measurements between the Intel Core 7 150HL and the Intel Core i5-14490F. However, the recorded data for the Core i5-14490F provides a complete picture of its performance profile, while the Core 7 150HL has no benchmark scores listed at all. This absence of data for the Core 7 150HL means that all comparative analysis must rely on the architectural and specification differences between the two processors.

The Core i5-14490F delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23000 and a single-core score of 3247. In Cinebench R20, it records 9660 multi-core and 1363 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 2318 multi-core and 327 single-core. These results place the processor at the 86th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 38149.

The nearest rivals for the Core i5-14490F confirm its competitive positioning. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245T scores 38194, which is 0.1% higher than the i5-14490F. The Intel Core i5-13600KF scores 38103, placing it 0.1% lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 250 scores 38221, a 0.2% advantage over the i5-14490F. The Intel Core i5-13600HX scores 38261, which is 0.3% higher. These four rivals all sit within a narrow 0.4% band of each other, indicating that the i5-14490F operates in a tightly contested performance tier.

PassMark results for the Core i5-14490F show a multi-thread score of 28662 and a single-thread score of 3873. The integer math test produces 87844, while floating point math reaches 66558. Extended instructions score 21731, data encryption scores 18225, and data compression reaches 340026. Random string sorting completes at 35608, physics processing scores 2093, and prime number finding records 122.

The Core 7 150HL has no recorded benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals in the database. Its percentile ranking of 50 indicates it sits at the median of all CPUs, but without measured data, the database cannot confirm its actual performance relative to the i5-14490F.

The Verdict

The data shows a clear asymmetry. The Intel Core i5-14490F has extensive benchmark coverage across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and PassMark suites. The Intel Core 7 150HL has no benchmark entries whatsoever. For anyone selecting between these two processors based on database measurements, the i5-14490F is the only option with verified performance data.

The i5-14490F holds a 36-percentile advantage over the Core 7 150HL in the database's global CPU ranking. The i5-14490F sits at the 86th percentile, while the Core 7 150HL sits at the 50th percentile. This gap suggests that the i5-14490F occupies a significantly higher performance tier, though the lack of direct measurements for the Core 7 150HL means the database cannot quantify the exact performance difference.

The i5-14490F also carries a higher thermal design power of 65 watts compared to the Core 7 150HL's 45 watts. This 20-watt difference indicates that Intel positions the i5-14490F for higher sustained performance, while the Core 7 150HL targets lower power envelopes.

Users who require an integrated GPU should note that the Core 7 150HL includes Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units, while the i5-14490F has no integrated graphics. The i5-14490F requires a discrete GPU for any display output.

Architecture Differences

Both processors share the Raptor Lake architecture and the 10 nm process node from Intel. The Core 7 150HL uses the Raptor Lake-PS codename and belongs to the Core 7 generation of that family. The i5-14490F uses the Raptor Lake-R codename and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, specifically the Raptor Lake Refresh generation.

The core configurations differ substantially. The Core 7 150HL contains 14 cores and 20 threads. The i5-14490F contains 10 cores and 16 threads. The Core 7 150HL therefore provides 4 additional cores and 4 additional threads over the i5-14490F.

Cache layouts also differ. Both chips share 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The L2 cache differs: the Core 7 150HL provides 2 MB per core, while the i5-14490F provides 1.25 MB per core. The Core 7 150HL's larger per-core L2 cache may benefit workloads with high data reuse, though the database provides no direct measurements to confirm this advantage.

The i5-14490F has a die size of 215 mm². The Core 7 150HL has no die size recorded in the database.

The integrated graphics situation marks a major architectural divergence. The Core 7 150HL includes Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. The i5-14490F has no integrated graphics at all. This means the Core 7 150HL can drive displays without a discrete GPU, while the i5-14490F cannot output video without an add-in card.

The PCIe capabilities differ as well. The Core 7 150HL supports PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes from the CPU. The i5-14490F supports PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The i5-14490F offers double the lane count and a newer PCIe generation, which matters for high-bandwidth devices such as modern graphics cards and NVMe storage.

The production status for both processors is Active. The i5-14490F has a recorded part number of SRN35, while the Core 7 150HL has an unknown part number.

Specification Differences

The base clock speeds differ slightly. The Core 7 150HL runs at 2.40 GHz, while the i5-14490F runs at 2.50 GHz. Both processors boost to 5.00 GHz, so their maximum single-core performance potential is identical on paper.

Thermal design power differs by 20 watts. The Core 7 150HL has a 45-watt TDP, and the i5-14490F has a 65-watt TDP. This affects cooling requirements and sustained multi-core performance under load.

The socket is identical: both use Intel Socket 1700. Memory support is also identical, with both processors supporting DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration. Neither processor supports ECC memory, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The market segment for both is Desktop. Release dates differ significantly. The i5-14490F appeared on 2023-12-31, while the Core 7 150HL appeared on 2024-04-07. The i5-14490F therefore launched roughly three months earlier.

The Core 7 150HL provides 14 cores versus 10 cores for the i5-14490F, and 20 threads versus 16 threads. The L2 cache per core favors the Core 7 150HL at 2 MB versus 1.25 MB. The i5-14490F counters with PCIe Gen 5 and 16 lanes versus PCIe Gen 4 and 8 lanes for the Core 7 150HL. The i5-14490F also has the larger die at 215 mm², while the Core 7 150HL has no die size recorded.

Neither processor has a launch MSRP recorded in the database.
