Intel Core 7 150U vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results for the Intel Core 7 150U versus the Intel Core i5-14501E. Because the Core i5-14501E has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, a direct numerical comparison of their performance is not possible. The Core 7 150U, however, has a full suite of measurements across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark tests.

The Core 7 150U records a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 8883 and a single-core score of 1875.5. In Cinebench R20, it scores 5248 multi-core and 740 single-core. The Cinebench R15 results are 1505.5 multi-core and 254 single-core. Geekbench measurements show 6234 multi-core and 1857 single-core.

Passmark results for the Core 7 150U include a multithread score of 14700, a single-thread score of 3508, integer math at 51057, floating point math at 34405, data compression at 158622, data encryption at 10025, extended instructions at 8748, find prime numbers at 58, random string sorting at 18269, and physics at 1012.

The Core 7 150U holds a 71st percentile ranking against all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 17395. Its nearest rivals in the database are AMD Ryzen parts. The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G scores 17507, which is 0.6 percent ahead. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scores 17482, 0.5 percent ahead. The AMD Ryzen 5 4500 scores 17333, 0.4 percent behind. The AMD Ryzen 3 210 scores 17321, 0.4 percent behind. The Core 7 150U sits within a tight band around these rivals, with deltas no larger than 0.6 percent in either direction. This indicates that in the database's aggregate scoring, the Core 7 150U is essentially performance-equivalent to these four AMD processors.

The Core i5-14501E has a 50th percentile ranking against all CPUs and an average benchmark score recorded as 0, with no nearest rivals listed. The lack of benchmark data for the Core i5-14501E means the database cannot confirm any performance advantage for either processor in a direct matchup.

Architecture Differences

Both processors use Intel's Raptor Lake architecture and are manufactured on a 10 nm process node by Intel. The Core 7 150U carries the codename Raptor Lake-U, while the Core i5-14501E carries Raptor Lake-R. The Core 7 150U belongs to the Core 7 generation, and the Core i5-14501E belongs to the Core 14th Gen series with the Raptor Lake Refresh generation label.

The core configurations differ substantially. The Core 7 150U has 10 cores and 12 threads. The Core i5-14501E has 6 cores and 12 threads. Both processors support 12 threads, but the Core 7 150U achieves this with four additional physical cores. This suggests the Core 7 150U relies on a hybrid core arrangement, while the Core i5-14501E uses a conventional layout with hyper-threading across fewer cores.

Cache hierarchies differ in the L3 portion. The Core 7 150U has 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i5-14501E has 24 MB of shared L3 cache, double the amount. Both share 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core.

Clock speeds show different priorities. The Core 7 150U has a base clock of 1.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The Core i5-14501E has a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Core i5-14501E starts from a much higher base frequency, while the Core 7 150U offers a slightly higher peak boost.

Thermal design power differs by a wide margin. The Core 7 150U is rated at 15 watts, and the Core i5-14501E is rated at 65 watts. This indicates different intended operating environments: the Core 7 150U targets power-constrained mobile systems, while the Core i5-14501E targets desktop systems with more robust cooling.

Memory support is identical in type, with both supporting DDR4 and DDR5 in a dual-channel configuration. ECC memory support differs. The Core 7 150U does not support ECC memory. The Core i5-14501E supports ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs significantly. The Core 7 150U provides PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes from the CPU. The Core i5-14501E provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. This gives the Core i5-14501E both a newer PCIe generation and double the lane count, which matters for high-bandwidth desktop expansion.

Integrated graphics differ. The Core 7 150U uses Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. The Core i5-14501E uses UHD Graphics 770. The Core 7 150U's Iris Xe implementation is designed for mobile efficiency, while the Core i5-14501E's UHD Graphics 770 is a desktop-oriented solution.

Sockets and market segments are distinct. The Core 7 150U uses Intel BGA 1744 and is classified as a mobile processor. The Core i5-14501E uses Intel Socket 1700 and is classified as a desktop processor. The die size is recorded for the Core i5-14501E at 215 mm², while no die size is recorded for the Core 7 150U. Neither processor has a recorded transistor count.

Release dates differ. The Core 7 150U was released on 2024-01-07. The Core i5-14501E was released on 2024-06-30. Both processors are currently marked as Active in production status. Neither has a recorded launch MSRP, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear differentiation based on intended use. The Core 7 150U is a mobile processor with a 15-watt TDP, 10 cores, and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. Its measured performance in the database places it at the 71st percentile, with an average benchmark score of 17395. The Core i5-14501E is a desktop processor with a 65-watt TDP, 6 cores, and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. It sits at the 50th percentile with no recorded benchmark scores.

For mobile computing, the Core 7 150U is the only option of the two, given its BGA 1744 socket and mobile market segment. Its 15-watt TDP allows operation in thin-and-light systems, and its 10 physical cores provide a thread-count parity with the Core i5-14501E while using far less power. The recorded benchmark scores for the Core 7 150U show a functional processor that competes closely with several AMD Ryzen desktop and mobile parts in the aggregate database score, all within 0.6 percent.

For desktop builds, the Core i5-14501E offers the relevant platform features. Its Socket 1700 is standard for desktop motherboards. It provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, which is a substantial upgrade over the Core 7 150U's Gen 4 with 8 lanes. Its 24 MB of L3 cache doubles the Core 7 150U's 12 MB. Its base clock of 3.30 GHz is considerably higher than the Core 7 150U's 1.80 GHz. ECC memory support is present on the Core i5-14501E, which matters for certain workstation or server-adjacent workloads. The trade-off is a 65-watt TDP, which requires a suitable desktop cooler and power delivery.

The lack of benchmark data for the Core i5-14501E means the database cannot confirm that its architectural advantages translate into higher measured performance. The Core 7 150U has demonstrated scores across multiple test suites, while the Core i5-14501E has none. A user who requires verified performance numbers from the database would find them only for the Core 7 150U.

The choice between these two processors is dictated by platform and power constraints. The Core 7 150U fits mobile systems with its BGA socket, 15-watt TDP, and 10-core layout. The Core i5-14501E fits desktop systems with its Socket 1700, 65-watt TDP, PCIe Gen 5 support, larger L3 cache, and ECC memory capability. On measured performance, only the Core 7 150U has data, so it is the only one whose benchmark behavior can be assessed directly from the database.
