This means every measurable performance comparison relies entirely on the Core Ultra 5 336H's recorded output, with the Core 7 150HL serving as the baseline with no recorded wins.

The Core Ultra 5 336H posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23991 and a single-core score of 3387. In Cinebench R20, it records 10076 multi-core and 1422 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 2418 multi-core and 341 single-core. These results place the Core Ultra 5 336H in the 84th percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 34485.

Passmark results for the Core Ultra 5 336H are equally detailed. The multithread score is 28545, while single-thread performance is recorded at 4013. Integer math scores 62070, floating point math reaches 82415, and extended instructions hit 24542. Data compression scores 280340, data encryption scores 21291, and random string sorting finishes at 34402. Find prime numbers scores 299, and physics processing scores 2682.

Since the Core 7 150HL has no benchmark entries, the head-to-head comparison shows zero wins for the Core 7 150HL and zero wins for the Core Ultra 5 336H in the direct matchup field. However, the Core Ultra 5 336H's nearest rivals provide context for where its scores sit. The Core i7-13700HX averages 34554, which is 0.2% higher than the Core Ultra 5 336H's average. The Core i5-13450HX averages 34333, placing it 0.4% lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X averages 34260, which is 0.7% lower, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 averages 34222, 0.8% lower. The Core Ultra 5 336H essentially trades blows with these established desktop and mobile parts, sitting within a single percentage point of all four.

Where Each One Wins

The Core Ultra 5 336H wins in every measurable benchmark category because it is the only part with recorded data. Its strengths are clear across both synthetic render tests and real-world workload simulations. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23991 indicates strong sustained throughput for rendering tasks, and the single-core score of 3387 shows solid per-thread performance. The Passmark integer math score of 62070 and floating point score of 82415 point to capable general computation, while the data compression score of 280340 suggests strong throughput for archiving and decompression workloads.

The Core 7 150HL has no recorded wins because no benchmark data exists for it. Its positioning in the database at the 50th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 0, reflects this absence of measurement. The Core Ultra 5 336H, by contrast, sits at the 84th percentile, a substantial gap in recorded standing.

For single-threaded tasks, the Core Ultra 5 336H's Passmark single-thread score of 4013 indicates responsiveness in lightly threaded applications. For multi-threaded workloads, the multithread score of 28545 and the Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 23991 show it can handle parallel workloads effectively. The physics score of 2682 and extended instructions score of 24542 further confirm its capability in scientific and engineering simulations.

The Core 7 150HL's lack of data means it cannot be credited with wins in any category. Its architecture suggests it may be competitive in certain scenarios, but the database contains no measurements to confirm that. The Core Ultra 5 336H, with its complete benchmark suite, is the only part with demonstrable performance in this comparison.

The Verdict

The data shows a complete imbalance in measured performance. The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H has a full set of benchmark results across Cinebench and Passmark, placing it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs with an average score of 34485. The Intel Core 7 150HL has no recorded benchmarks, an average score of zero, and sits in the 50th percentile by default.

For buyers choosing between these two based on the database, the Core Ultra 5 336H is the only part with demonstrable performance. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23991 and single-core score of 3387 establish it as a capable processor. Its Passmark results across integer math, floating point math, data compression, and encryption confirm broad workload coverage. Its nearest rivals, the Core i7-13700HX, Core i5-13450HX, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, and AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, all sit within 0.8% of its average score, indicating it is competitive with established mid-range and upper-mid-range parts.

The Core 7 150HL offers advantages on paper: a higher boost clock of 5.00 GHz, more L3 cache at 24 MB, DDR4 support for legacy systems, and a 45-watt TDP for desktop operation. It also has more threads at 20 versus 16. However, none of these specifications translate into recorded benchmark results in the database.

The Core Ultra 5 336H is the clear choice for anyone relying on measured performance data. It delivers strong multi-core throughput, solid single-core speed, and a modern 3 nm process with PCIe Gen 5 support. The Core 7 150HL remains an unmeasured quantity, and the database cannot confirm any performance advantage for it. The Core Ultra 5 336H is the part with the evidence, and the evidence is good.
