Intel Core 7 150UL vs Intel Core 9 273PQE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains no recorded scores for the Intel Core 7 150UL, meaning a direct comparison of measured results is impossible. The Intel Core 9 273PQE, however, has a complete set of benchmark entries, and its performance profile can be analyzed on its own terms.

The Core 9 273PQE delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 39190 and a single-core score of 5532. In Cinebench R20, it records 16459 multi-core and 2323 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 3950 multi-core and 557 single-core. These results indicate a strong scaling pattern across the Cinebench suite, with the multi-core scores growing proportionally with the workload demands.

PassMark results for the Core 9 273PQE show a multi-thread score of 46107 and a single-thread score of 4573. The integer math score reaches 164629, while floating point math sits at 125546. Data compression scores 585752, and data encryption records 29636. Extended instructions finish at 38743, finding prime numbers scores 198, random string sorting scores 53167, and physics scores 2754.

The Core 9 273PQE holds a 93rd percentile position among all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score is 66099. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus with an average score of 66159, a difference of -0.1% relative to the Core 9. The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D scores 65914, a delta of 0.3% relative to the Core 9. The Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus scores 66855, a delta of -1.1%. The AMD EPYC 4465P scores 66925, a delta of -1.2%.

The delta values show the Core 9 273PQE sits within a narrow band of roughly 1% of these four rivals. The Ryzen 9 7950X3D is the only one that scores slightly lower, 0.3% below the Core 9. The other three all edge ahead, with the EPYC 4465P being the furthest ahead at 1.2%. The performance differences between these five processors are small enough that real-world workload variation could easily flip the ranking.

The absence of any benchmark data for the Core 7 150UL means the database records no wins for either processor in a head-to-head comparison. The wins column shows zero for both items. The data supports an analysis of the Core 9 273PQE only, with no measured basis for comparison against the Core 7 150UL.

The Verdict

The recorded data leads to a clear conclusion: the Intel Core 9 273PQE is the only processor in this pair with benchmark results. Anyone choosing based on database evidence must select the Core 9 273PQE, as the Core 7 150UL has no recorded scores.

The Core 9 273PQE targets high-end desktop workloads. Its 93rd percentile ranking places it above the vast majority of CPUs in the database. The single-core Cinebench R23 score of 5532 and multi-core score of 39190 indicate strong performance in both lightly-threaded and heavily-threaded tasks. The PassMark single-thread score of 4573 reinforces the single-core capability.

The nearest rival data shows the Core 9 273PQE competes directly with processors like the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Core Ultra 5 250K Plus. The performance gaps are minimal, with the largest delta being 1.2% behind the EPYC 4465P. This places the Core 9 273PQE in a highly competitive tier where benchmark margins are thin.

The Core 7 150UL, by contrast, appears in the database with no benchmark entries and a mid-tier 50th percentile ranking. Its specifications suggest a lower-power desktop part, but without measured data, any performance claims remain speculative.

For a builder who requires verified benchmark results, the Core 9 273PQE is the only defensible choice. The data simply does not support the Core 7 150UL.
