Intel Core 7 240H vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database does not contain any head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Core 7 240H and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100. The head-to-head benchmark field is empty, and the win counts for both processors are zero. This means no direct comparison scores are recorded for these two specific CPUs running the same tests.

For the Intel Core 7 240H, the database contains a full suite of 17 benchmark results. Its multi-threaded Cinebench R23 score is 15764, while its single-core R23 result is 1719. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 8562 and the single-core score is 1208. The older R15 test shows 2360 multi-core and 249 single-core. PassMark results include a multithread score of 23975, a single-thread score of 3782, integer math at 80396, floating point math at 58905, data compression at 271774, data encryption at 15155, extended instructions at 16897, find prime numbers at 102, physics at 1723, and random string sorting at 28866.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its percentile versus all CPUs is 50. The Intel Core 7 240H, by contrast, holds an 82nd percentile ranking versus all CPUs and an average benchmark score of 31483. The Intel part's nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core Ultra 3 205 with an average score of 31473 (0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX at 31495 (0% delta), the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H at 31508 (-0.1% delta), and the Intel Core i5-13500 at 31510 (-0.1% delta). These figures place the Core 7 240H in a tightly contested performance cluster where the spread between its nearest neighbors is only 37 points.

Because the Snapdragon has no scores, the data cannot show where it wins or loses against the Intel chip. The comparison must instead rely on architectural characteristics, cache configurations, memory support, and platform differences, all of which are recorded in the database.

FAQ

A: The Intel Core 7 240H ranks in the 82nd percentile versus all CPUs. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 ranks in the 50th percentile versus all CPUs.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split. The Intel Core 7 240H is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark performance, and its 82nd percentile ranking indicates it sits well above the median CPU in the database. Its average benchmark score of 31483 places it within 0.1% of the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H and the Intel Core i5-13500, and effectively tied with the Intel Core Ultra 3 205 and the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX. The Snapdragon X1P-64-100 has no scores, so no performance verdict can be derived from measurements.

For a system where multi-threaded throughput is the priority, the Intel part's 16 threads over 10 cores, combined with its 24 MB of shared L3 cache and 5.20 GHz boost clock, gives it a structural advantage in the database. The Snapdragon's 10 threads, 6 MB of shared L3 cache, and absence of a recorded boost clock leave it without any measured evidence of competitive performance. The Intel processor also carries a launch MSRP of $502, a figure recorded once here for reference.

The Snapdragon's recorded advantages are platform-level. It uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, has a lower 35-watt TDP, supports LPDDR5X memory with a documented 135.2 GB/s bandwidth, and offers 12 PCIe Gen 4 lanes from the CPU. These attributes point toward a more power-efficient, integrated mobile platform, but the database contains no benchmark results to confirm how that translates into application performance.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every recorded specification field. The Intel Core 7 240H uses 10 cores and 16 threads, while the Snapdragon X1P-64-100 uses 10 cores and 10 threads. Base clocks differ: 2.50 GHz for Intel versus 3.40 GHz for Qualcomm. The Intel part has a boost clock of 5.20 GHz; the Snapdragon has no boost clock listed. TDP is 45 watts for Intel and 35 watts for Qualcomm.

Sockets are different: Intel BGA 1744 for the Core 7 240H, Qualcomm BGA 2073 for the Snapdragon. The Intel processor uses a 10 nm process node built by Intel, while the Snapdragon uses a 4 nm process from TSMC. Cache allocations diverge sharply. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Snapdragon has 288 KB of L1 per core, 12 MB of L2 per module, and 6 MB of shared L3.

Memory support differs: Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5, while Qualcomm supports LPDDR5X. The Snapdragon records a memory bandwidth of 135.2 GB/s; the Intel part has no bandwidth figure in the database. PCIe capabilities differ: Intel lists Gen 5 with 8 CPU lanes, while Qualcomm lists Gen 4 with 12 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics differ as well: Intel uses Iris Xe Graphics 64EU, and Qualcomm uses Adreno X1-85.

Release dates are recorded: the Intel Core 7 240H launched on 2024-12-17, and the Snapdragon X1P-64-100 launched on 2024-04-23. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $502, while the Snapdragon has no launch MSRP recorded. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Core 7 240H is built on Raptor Lake architecture with the codename Raptor Lake-H, belonging to the Core 7 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 uses the Oryon codename and belongs to the Snapdragon X (Plus) generation, with no architecture name listed. The manufacturing processes are different: Intel uses a 10 nm node at its own foundry, while Qualcomm uses a 4 nm node at TSMC.

The core designs differ. The Intel chip has a hybrid structure implied by its Raptor Lake-H lineage, combining 10 cores with 16 threads, which indicates performance and efficiency core types. The Snapdragon's 10 cores and 10 threads indicate a homogeneous design without multithreading. Cache organization also reveals architectural differences: the Intel part distributes 2 MB of L2 per core and pools 24 MB of L3 across the chip, while the Snapdragon allocates 12 MB of L2 per module and only 6 MB of shared L3. The per-core L1 sizes differ substantially: 80 KB per core for Intel versus 288 KB per core for Qualcomm.

Memory controllers reflect distinct platform philosophies. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, while the Snapdragon supports only LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus with a recorded bandwidth of 135.2 GB/s. PCIe support also differs: Intel provides Gen 5 connectivity with 8 CPU lanes, while Qualcomm provides Gen 4 with 12 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics are vendor-specific, with Intel using Iris Xe Graphics 64EU and Qualcomm using Adreno X1-85. The Snapdragon's production status is active, as is the Intel part's, but the Snapdragon's manufacturer is listed as unknown in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 240H wins in every measured benchmark category because it is the only processor with recorded scores. Its PassMark multithread score of 23975 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15764 indicate strong parallel workload performance, supported by 16 threads and a 5.20 GHz boost clock. Its single-thread PassMark score of 3782, along with Cinebench R23 single-core at 1719, shows competitive per-core speed. The 82nd percentile ranking versus all CPUs confirms it sits above most recorded processors in the database.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 wins in platform efficiency characteristics. Its 35-watt TDP is lower than the Intel part's 45-watt TDP. Its 4 nm TSMC process node is smaller than Intel's 10 nm node. Its memory bandwidth of 135.2 GB/s is explicitly recorded, while the Intel part has no bandwidth figure. Its 12 PCIe Gen 4 CPU lanes exceed the Intel part's 8 Gen 5 lanes in lane count, though the Intel part supports a newer PCIe generation. The Snapdragon also has a higher base clock of 3.40 GHz compared to the Intel part's 2.50 GHz, and it launched earlier in 2024.

The 50th percentile ranking for the Snapdragon places it at the median of the database, but with no benchmark scores and no nearest rivals recorded, the data cannot substantiate any application-level win. The Intel part's 82nd percentile ranking and its cluster of near-equal rivals, all within 0.1% in average score, give it a clear measured position in the upper tier. The Snapdragon's wins are confined to specification-level attributes: power draw, process node, memory bandwidth, PCIe lane count, and base clock.
