Intel Core 7 150UL vs Intel Core i5-14490F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the Intel Core i5-14490F shows a strong performance profile across multiple benchmark suites, while the Intel Core 7 150UL has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This absence of data for the Core 7 150UL means no direct head-to-head comparison can be made from the available measurements. However, the Core i5-14490F's results can be interpreted against its nearest rivals to establish its performance tier.

In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the Core i5-14490F scores 2318 points. Its single-core score in the same test is 327 points. Moving to Cinebench R20, the multi-core result reaches 9660 points, with a single-core score of 1363 points. The most demanding multi-core workload, Cinebench R23, shows a score of 23000 points, while the single-core test yields 3247 points. These results indicate a processor that scales effectively from lightly threaded tasks to fully loaded multi-core operations.

The Passmark suite adds further detail. The multi-thread score is 28662, and the single-thread score is 3873 (also listed as passmark_singlethread with the same value). In specialized workloads, the Core i5-14490F delivers 340026 in data compression, 18225 in data encryption, and 21731 in extended instructions. Floating point math reaches 66558, integer math reaches 87844, and find prime numbers posts 122. Random string sorting completes at 35608, and the physics test records 2093.

For context, the Core i5-14490F holds an average benchmark score of 38149 and sits in the 86th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are extremely close: the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T averages 38194 (0.1% lower), the Intel Core i5-13600KF averages 38103 (0.1% higher), the AMD Ryzen 7 250 averages 38221 (0.2% lower), and the Intel Core i5-13600HX averages 38261 (0.3% lower). These delta values show the Core i5-14490F is effectively tied with its closest competitors, with all differences under one percent. The data indicates a processor that sits squarely in a competitive performance band, neither leading nor trailing its peers by any meaningful margin.

The Core 7 150UL, lacking any benchmark scores, cannot be placed in this hierarchy. Its percentile ranking of 50 against all CPUs is the only positional data available, but without test results, no performance claims can be made from the database.

Architecture Differences

Both processors share the Raptor Lake architecture and are built on Intel's 10 nm process node. They also share the same socket, Intel Socket 1700, and both use dual-channel memory with support for DDR4 and DDR5. Neither supports ECC memory, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The core counts are identical at 10 physical cores, but the thread counts differ. The Core 7 150UL supports 12 threads, while the Core i5-14490F supports 16 threads. This four-thread difference suggests a different configuration of efficiency and performance cores, though the database does not break down the hybrid core arrangement.

Clock speeds show a shared boost ceiling of 5.00 GHz, but the base clocks differ significantly. The Core 7 150UL has a base clock of 1.70 GHz, while the Core i5-14490F has a base clock of 2.50 GHz. The thermal design power also diverges sharply: the Core 7 150UL is rated at 15 W, while the Core i5-14490F is rated at 65 W.

Cache configurations are similar at the lower levels. Both have 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core. The shared L3 cache differs, with the Core 7 150UL offering 12 MB and the Core i5-14490F offering 24 MB, double the amount.

The integrated graphics present a major distinction. The Core 7 150UL includes Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. The Core i5-14490F has no integrated graphics, listed as N/A. This makes the Core i5-14490F a processor that requires a discrete graphics card for any display output.

PCIe support also differs. The Core 7 150UL uses Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). The Core i5-14490F uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), doubling both the generation and the lane count.

The codenames are different: Raptor Lake-PS for the Core 7 150UL and Raptor Lake-R for the Core i5-14490F. The generations are listed as Core 7 (Raptor Lake-PS) and Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh), respectively. The die size is recorded only for the Core i5-14490F at 215 mm²; the Core 7 150UL has no die size data. The part number for the Core i5-14490F is SRN35, while the Core 7 150UL has an unknown part number.

Release dates place the Core 7 150UL in April 2024 and the Core i5-14490F in December 2023. Both are listed as Active in production status and target the Desktop market segment.

The Verdict

The data presents an asymmetrical comparison. The Intel Core i5-14490F has a complete set of benchmark results across Cinebench and Passmark suites, with an average score of 38149 and an 86th percentile ranking. Its nearest rivals are within 0.3% of its average score, confirming that the Core i5-14490F operates in a well-established performance tier. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23000 and single-core score of 3247 provide concrete reference points for its capabilities.

The Intel Core 7 150UL has no benchmark scores, so the database offers no measured evidence of its performance. Its specifications indicate a different design intent: a 15 W TDP, a 1.70 GHz base clock, and integrated Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. This combination suggests a low-power processor with built-in display capabilities, suitable for systems that prioritize energy efficiency over raw throughput. The absence of a die size measurement and part number further differentiates it from the more fully documented Core i5-14490F.

For users selecting between these two, the data supports the Core i5-14490F for any workload where benchmark performance matters. Its 16 threads, 24 MB of L3 cache, and Gen 5 PCIe with 16 lanes position it as a more capable compute platform. The Core 7 150UL, by contrast, offers integrated graphics and a dramatically lower TDP, which may serve systems where power draw is the primary constraint. The recorded data does not include any direct head-to-head comparisons, and the Core 7 150UL's lack of scores prevents any quantitative performance assertion. The Core i5-14490F is the only one of the two with measurable benchmark data, and that data shows a processor performing in the upper percentiles of the database.
