Intel Core 7 150HL vs Intel Core i7-14701TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the Intel Core 7 150HL and the Intel Core i7-14701TE. The database shows a complete set of benchmark results for the i7-14701TE, but the Core 7 150HL has no benchmark entries, no average score, and no wins in any tested category. This absence of data means that a direct numerical comparison of their performance in Cinebench, PassMark, or any other workload cannot be established from the available records.

What the database does provide is a single benchmark profile for the i7-14701TE, which can be interpreted on its own terms. In Cinebench R23, the i7-14701TE scores 17035 points in multi-core and 2405 points in single-core. In Cinebench R20, it delivers 7154 points multi-core and 1010 points single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 1716 points multi-core and 242 points single-core. PassMark results for the i7-14701TE include a multithread score of 20042, a single-thread score of 2637, integer math at 65792, floating-point math at 50219, extended instructions at 14354, data compression at 220520, data encryption at 11699, find prime numbers at 143, physics at 1860, and random string sorting at 22760.

The average benchmark score for the i7-14701TE is 26013, placing it at the 78th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals, all within a narrow band, are the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 with an average score of 25981 and a delta of 0.1 percent, the AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS with 26106 and a delta of negative 0.4 percent, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE with 25880 and a delta of 0.5 percent, and the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U with 26187 and a delta of negative 0.7 percent. These deltas indicate that the i7-14701TE sits essentially at parity with those four AMD processors, neither clearly ahead nor behind by any meaningful margin.

Because the Core 7 150HL has no benchmark scores, no wins, and no percentile ranking beyond the default 50th percentile with an average score of 0, the database cannot support any claim of superiority or inferiority for either chip in measured workloads. The only defensible statement is that the i7-14701TE has a fully recorded performance profile, while the Core 7 150HL does not.

Architecture Differences

Both processors share the same fundamental design lineage, as Intel builds both on the Raptor Lake architecture. The Core 7 150HL uses the codename Raptor Lake-PS, while the i7-14701TE uses Raptor Lake-R, which the database identifies as part of the Core 14th Gen series and the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. Both use a 10 nm process node fabricated by Intel, and both fit the Intel Socket 1700.

The core configurations differ substantially. The Core 7 150HL has 14 cores and 20 threads, while the i7-14701TE has 8 cores and 16 threads. That is a difference of 6 cores and 4 threads in favor of the Core 7 150HL. Base clocks are close, with the Core 7 150HL at 2.40 GHz and the i7-14701TE at 2.10 GHz. Boost clocks differ by 0.20 GHz, with the i7-14701TE reaching 5.20 GHz versus 5.00 GHz for the Core 7 150HL. Both have a TDP of 45, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Cache hierarchies show a significant difference in L3 capacity. The Core 7 150HL has 24 MB of shared L3 cache, while the i7-14701TE has 33 MB of shared L3 cache. Both use 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 2 MB of L2 cache per core. The i7-14701TE also has a recorded die size of 257 mm², while the Core 7 150HL has no die size entry in the database.

Memory support is identical on paper: both support DDR4 and DDR5, both use dual-channel memory buses, and neither has a recorded memory bandwidth figure. ECC memory support separates the two, as the i7-14701TE supports ECC while the Core 7 150HL does not.

PCIe connectivity differs notably. The Core 7 150HL provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes from the CPU, while the i7-14701TE provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics also differ: the Core 7 150HL uses Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units, while the i7-14701TE uses UHD Graphics 770.

The release dates place the Core 7 150HL in April 2024 and the i7-14701TE in June 2024. Both are marked as Active production status and target the Desktop market segment. The Core 7 150HL has no series entry, while the i7-14701TE belongs to the Core 14th Gen series.

The Verdict

The database presents an asymmetric picture. The i7-14701TE has a complete set of benchmark results, an average score of 26013, and a 78th percentile ranking. Its nearest rivals, all AMD processors, sit within a 0.7 percent delta, indicating that the i7-14701TE performs on par with a specific band of competing chips. The Core 7 150HL has no benchmark data at all, so the database cannot confirm any performance claim for it.

For a builder choosing between these two, the data supports the i7-14701TE as the processor with measurable, recorded performance. The 78th percentile ranking and the complete PassMark and Cinebench scores provide concrete evidence of its capabilities. The Core 7 150HL, despite having more cores and threads, offers no recorded performance proof in the database.

The i7-14701TE also brings advantages in PCIe generation and lane count, L3 cache capacity, ECC memory support, and a higher boost clock. The Core 7 150HL counters with more cores and threads, a higher base clock, and more powerful integrated graphics in the form of Iris Xe with 96 execution units.

The data does not indicate that the Core 7 150HL is a poor processor, only that the database has no measurements for it. The i7-14701TE is the only one of the two with verified benchmark results, and those results place it comfortably in the upper quartile of all CPUs.

Where Each One Wins

The i7-14701TE wins in every category where the database has actual performance measurements. Its recorded benchmarks show a processor that handles multi-threaded workloads with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17035 and a PassMark multithread score of 20042. Single-thread performance is also recorded, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2405 and a PassMark single-thread score of 2637. The 78th percentile ranking confirms that this processor sits above the majority of CPUs in the database.

The i7-14701TE also wins on architectural features that matter for specific use cases. Its PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 lanes provides more bandwidth and more connectivity than the Core 7 150HL's Gen 4 with 8 lanes. This matters for systems with multiple high-speed storage devices or GPUs. The 33 MB of L3 cache versus 24 MB gives it a larger cache pool for data-heavy workloads. ECC memory support makes it suitable for error-sensitive environments such as file servers or workstations where data integrity is critical. The higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz versus 5.00 GHz gives it an edge in bursty single-threaded tasks.

The Core 7 150HL wins on core count and thread count, with 14 cores and 20 threads versus 8 cores and 16 threads. This suggests potential for heavily parallel workloads, but without benchmark data, the database cannot confirm that this translates into actual performance gains. Its higher base clock of 2.40 GHz versus 2.10 GHz may help in sustained workloads that do not reach boost frequencies. The Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units is a more capable integrated GPU than the UHD Graphics 770, which matters for systems without a discrete graphics card.

For use-case selection, the data points to the i7-14701TE for applications requiring verified performance, ECC memory, modern PCIe connectivity, and larger cache. The Core 7 150HL appears oriented toward multi-threaded throughput and integrated graphics performance, but the absence of recorded benchmarks means its advantages remain theoretical rather than demonstrated. A builder prioritizing measured results and established performance should select the i7-14701TE. A builder who values core count and integrated graphics capability, and who is willing to accept unverified performance, might consider the Core 7 150HL.
