Intel Core 7 150UL vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for the Intel Core 7 150UL and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100. Neither processor has any individual benchmark scores listed, and the head-to-head comparison array is empty. Both parts sit at the 50th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of zero for each. Without measured performance data, the comparison must rely entirely on architectural and specification differences rather than empirical results.

The absence of scores is itself informative. The Intel Core 7 150UL and the Snapdragon X1P-46-100 cannot be ranked against one another using any performance metric from the database. No single-core result, multi-core result, or composite score exists for either unit. The two chips are effectively tied in percentile standing because both default to the median position when no benchmarks are recorded. This does not indicate equivalent performance; it indicates missing data. The wins counters for both parts are set to zero, meaning neither processor has a recorded advantage in any tested workload.

What the database does show is a structural contrast. The Intel part offers 10 cores and 12 threads, while the Qualcomm part offers 8 cores and 8 threads. The Intel chip carries a boost clock of 5.00 GHz against the Qualcomm chip's 4.00 GHz, a 1.00 GHz difference in favor of Intel. Thread count favors Intel by four threads. The Qualcomm part operates at a base clock of 3.40 GHz, which is double the Intel's 1.70 GHz base clock. These figures describe configuration, not measured throughput, but they establish the two designs' different approaches to frequency and parallelism.

The Verdict

The data does not support a performance verdict between these two processors. With no benchmark scores, no head-to-head results, and no nearest rival comparisons, the database records no evidence that either chip outperforms the other in any application. The Intel Core 7 150UL and the Snapdragon X1P-46-100 are both active production parts, but their performance profiles remain unquantified in the available records.

From a specification standpoint, the Intel Core 7 150UL targets desktop systems using Intel Socket 1700, while the Snapdragon X1P-46-100 is a mobile part using Qualcomm BGA 2073. The Intel chip runs on a 10 nm process from Intel's own foundry, whereas the Qualcomm chip uses a 4 nm process from TSMC. The process node difference is substantial, but without benchmark data, its practical impact cannot be measured here. The Intel chip's higher boost clock and greater thread count suggest an advantage in bursty, multithreaded workloads, while the Qualcomm chip's higher base clock and lower process node suggest efficiency-oriented mobile operation. These are inferences from specifications, not conclusions from test results.

Users choosing between these two parts should base their decision on platform and usage context. The Intel Core 7 150UL fits a desktop build with DDR4 or DDR5 memory and a Socket 1700 motherboard. The Snapdragon X1P-46-100 fits a mobile design with LPDDR5X memory and a BGA 2073 socket. The database provides no measured evidence that either CPU delivers superior application performance.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Core 7 150UL is built on Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename and belongs to the Core 7 (Raptor Lake-PS) generation. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 uses the Oryon codename and belongs to the Snapdragon X (Plus) generation. The two designs come from different manufacturers with different process technologies. Intel produces its own chip on a 10 nm node, while TSMC fabricates the Qualcomm part on a 4 nm node for Qualcomm.

Cache architecture differs significantly. Intel distributes 80 KB of L1 per core and 1.25 MB of L2 per core, with a shared 12 MB L3. Qualcomm uses 288 KB of L1 per core, 12 MB of L2 per module, and a smaller 6 MB shared L3. The per-core L1 figure for Qualcomm is 208 KB larger than Intel's per-core L1, while Intel's shared L3 is 6 MB larger than Qualcomm's.

The Intel part integrates Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. The Qualcomm part integrates an Adreno X1-45 GPU. Neither processor has a listed transistor count, die size, or 3D V-Cache option. The Intel processor connects to the system over Gen 4 PCIe with 8 CPU lanes, while the Qualcomm processor uses Gen 4 PCIe with 12 CPU lanes. Memory architecture also differs: Intel accepts both DDR4 and DDR5, while Qualcomm is limited to LPDDR5X, and only Qualcomm records a memory bandwidth figure of 135.2 GB/s.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 150UL holds structural advantages in several areas. Its 10 cores and 12 threads exceed the Qualcomm chip's 8 cores and 8 threads, giving it more parallel execution capacity on paper. Its boost clock of 5.00 GHz is 1.00 GHz higher than the Qualcomm part's 4.00 GHz, which suggests stronger single-thread burst capability if the design can sustain it. The Intel chip also offers a larger shared L3 cache at 12 MB versus 6 MB. For desktop workloads that scale across cores and threads, the Intel part's configuration is more favorable on paper. Its 15 W TDP is half the Qualcomm part's 30 W, which indicates a lower thermal envelope despite the desktop market segment designation.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 counters with different advantages. Its base clock of 3.40 GHz is exactly 1.70 GHz higher than the Intel chip's 1.70 GHz, which means it starts from a much higher operating frequency before any boost behavior. The 4 nm TSMC process node is smaller than Intel's 10 nm node, which typically implies tighter power efficiency per transistor in the same timeframe. The Qualcomm part provides 12 PCIe Gen 4 lanes versus Intel's 8, a 4-lane advantage for connecting peripherals. Its memory bandwidth is listed at 135.2 GB/s, a figure the Intel part does not record. The L1 cache per core is 288 KB versus 80 KB, and the L2 per module is 12 MB versus 1.25 MB per core. The Qualcomm chip is also a mobile segment part, positioning it for portable platforms rather than fixed desktops.

Neither processor has recorded benchmark wins in the database. The wins counters are zero for both. Any claim of superiority must be framed as a specification-based inference, not a measured result. The Intel part appears better suited to desktop multithreaded workloads based on core count, thread count, and boost frequency. The Qualcomm part appears better suited to mobile platforms based on its process node, base frequency, PCIe lane count, and recorded memory bandwidth. The database records no data that would overturn either of these structural characterizations.
