Intel Core 7 150HL vs Intel Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus Comparison

The database does not contain a direct measured comparison between the Intel Core 7 150HL and the Intel Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus. All recorded benchmark scores belong to the Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus; the Core 7 150HL has no benchmark entries. This asymmetry shapes the entire comparison: the Ultra 7 can be evaluated against its own results and nearest rivals, while the Core 7 can only be assessed from its listed specifications and percentile placement.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The direct head-to-head benchmark set for this pair is empty. The Core 7 150HL has no recorded Cinebench or PassMark scores, so there are no wins to assign to it. The Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus has no direct opponent score to beat either. The database records zero wins for both sides in this comparison.

What the database does provide is a set of recorded scores for the Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 41913 and its single-core score is 5917. In Cinebench R20, the multicore result is 17603 and the single-core result is 2485. In Cinebench R15, the multicore result is 4224 and the single-core result is 596.

PassMark results for the Ultra 7 cover a wide range of workloads. The multithread score is 48270, and the single-thread score is 4764. Integer math scores 122449, floating point math scores 163567, data compression scores 493179, data encryption scores 37813, extended instructions score 39283, physics scores 3843, random string sorting scores 60020, and find prime numbers scores 482.

Because the Core 7 150HL has no recorded benchmark score, the database cannot quantify any workload win for that processor. The only comparative signal is the percentile and average score data: the Core 7 sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of 0, while the Ultra 7 sits at the 93rd percentile with an average benchmark score of 61834.

The Ultra 7's nearest rivals put that average score in context. The Intel Core i9-13900KF posts an average score of 61841 with a 0% difference, the Intel Core i9-13900K posts 61766 with a 0.1% difference, the Intel Core i9-13900T posts 61723 with a 0.2% difference, and the Intel Xeon 636 posts 61360 with a 0.8% difference. The Ultra 7's recorded average of 61834 lands essentially alongside those four established processors.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to the Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus for any workload where the measured Cinebench and PassMark metrics are the deciding factor. It records a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 41913, a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5917, and an average benchmark score of 61834 at the 93rd percentile. The Core 7 150HL has no recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 0, and a 50th percentile placement.

The Core 7 150HL does bring a desktop Socket 1700 package, a 45 W TDP, and DDR4/DDR5 memory support. It also has a 5.00 GHz boost clock, 14 cores, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus counters with a 5.30 GHz boost clock, 20 cores, 30 MB of shared L3 cache, PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes, and an unlocked multiplier. But the decisive difference in the database is measurement: the Ultra 7 has a set of recorded scores, and the Core 7 has none.

The data cannot assign any workload victory to the Core 7 150HL. On benchmark evidence alone, the Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus is the only processor in this pair with demonstrated performance.
