Intel Core 7 150UL vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-84-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no recorded head-to-head benchmark results for the Intel Core 7 150UL and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-84-100. Both processors show an average benchmark score of zero, and the wins tally for each side is zero. The percentile versus all CPUs is identical for both at 50, placing them at the midpoint of the distribution in the absence of measured performance data. Without direct comparison scores, no exact performance deltas can be derived from the recorded measurements.

The absence of benchmark entries means there are no figures indicating which processor is faster in single-threaded, multi-threaded, or integrated graphics workloads. The data does not support any claim of a win for either part. What can be stated from the recorded information is limited to architectural specifications, cache configurations, memory support, and platform characteristics. The benchmark database shows no measured scores for either item, so any head-to-head analysis must rely entirely on the specification differences rather than performance results.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Core 7 150UL uses the Raptor Lake architecture with a Raptor Lake-PS codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel's foundry. It contains 10 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 1.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The thermal design power is 15 watts. The cache hierarchy is organized as 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support covers DDR4 and DDR5 in a dual-channel configuration. The integrated graphics solution is Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. The processor fits the Intel Socket 1700 and belongs to the desktop market segment. It was released on 2024-04-07.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-84-100 uses the Oryon codename under the Snapdragon X (Elite) generation, manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It has 12 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. The thermal design power is 35 watts. The cache arrangement differs substantially: 288 KB of L1 per core, 12 MB of L2 per module, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is limited to LPDDR5X in a dual-channel configuration, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 135.2 GB/s. The integrated graphics is Adreno X1-85. The socket is Qualcomm BGA 2073, and the market segment is mobile. The release date is 2024-04-23.

The process node difference is notable: 10 nm for Intel versus 4 nm for TSMC. The core count favors Qualcomm at 12 versus 10, but thread counts are equal at 12, indicating the Intel part relies on hyper-threading while the Qualcomm part has a one-to-one core-to-thread mapping. The Intel base clock is much lower at 1.70 GHz versus 3.80 GHz, yet the Intel boost clock reaches 5.00 GHz versus 4.20 GHz for Qualcomm, showing a wider clock range on the Intel side. The Intel L3 cache is double that of Qualcomm at 12 MB versus 6 MB, while Qualcomm has larger per-core L1 and per-module L2 allocations. Memory bandwidth is only recorded for Qualcomm at 135.2 GB/s; no figure exists for the Intel part. PCIe lane counts differ: 8 lanes for Intel versus 12 lanes for Qualcomm, both at Gen 4.

The Intel part uses a desktop socket and targets the desktop segment, while the Qualcomm part uses a mobile BGA socket and targets mobile. Both processors are marked as Active in production status and both have locked multipliers. Neither supports ECC memory. The Qualcomm part has a recorded part number of X1E84100, while the Intel part number is listed as unknown. Neither entry includes a launch MSRP in the database.

The table shows every field where the two processors differ. Fields not listed, such as ECC memory support (false for both), multiplier unlock status (false for both), and production status (Active for both), match across the two entries. The L2 cache description differs in organization: Intel uses a per-core allocation of 1.25 MB, while Qualcomm uses a per-module allocation of 12 MB. Memory bandwidth data is absent for the Intel part, so no comparison is possible on that field. The manufacturer field for Qualcomm is listed as Unknown in the database, while Intel is listed as the manufacturer for the Core 7 150UL.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 150UL shows advantages in several specification-based areas. The boost clock of 5.00 GHz is the highest recorded clock among the two, exceeding the Qualcomm part's 4.20 GHz by 0.80 GHz. The shared L3 cache is 12 MB, double the 6 MB on the Qualcomm processor. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, offering broader memory compatibility than the LPDDR5X-only support on the Qualcomm side. The desktop socket and desktop market segment position it for fixed-platform use. The lower TDP of 15 watts indicates a power profile that is less than half of the Qualcomm part's 35 watts.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-84-100 holds advantages in other specification areas. The core count is 12 versus 10, a 20 percent higher core count. The base clock of 3.80 GHz is more than double the Intel base clock of 1.70 GHz. The process node at 4 nm is finer than the 10 nm node used by Intel, and the foundry is TSMC rather than Intel. The per-core L1 cache of 288 KB is larger than the Intel per-core 80 KB, and the per-module L2 cache of 12 MB exceeds the Intel per-core 1.25 MB allocation. Memory bandwidth is recorded at 135.2 GB/s for the Qualcomm part, a figure absent from the Intel entry. The PCIe configuration offers 12 lanes versus 8 lanes, both at Gen 4. The mobile BGA socket and mobile market segment target portable platforms, and the release date is later by 16 days.

The recorded data does not include any benchmark scores, so these wins are strictly architectural and platform-based rather than performance-based. The Intel part appears tailored for scenarios where high boost clocks, larger shared L3, dual memory type support, and lower power draw matter. The Qualcomm part appears tailored for scenarios where higher core count, higher base clock, finer process node, larger per-core caches, higher memory bandwidth, and more PCIe lanes matter. The desktop versus mobile split in market segment reinforces the intended platform separation. The integrated graphics differ as well, with Iris Xe Graphics 96EU on the Intel side and Adreno X1-85 on the Qualcomm side, though no graphics benchmark scores are recorded for either.
