Intel Core 7 350 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 7 350 holds a significant performance advantage over the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 across nearly every measurable workload, though the comparison is complicated by the absence of any benchmark data for the Snapdragon in the database. The Intel part has recorded scores for 17 individual tests spanning Cinebench render workloads and Passmark compute tasks, while the Qualcomm entry has no recorded benchmark results at all. This means the head-to-head comparison is effectively one-sided: the data shows what the Intel Core 7 350 delivers, but there are no numbers to place against it for the Snapdragon X1P-26-100.

The Intel Core 7 350 posts a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 8030 and a single-core score of 2046. In Cinebench R20, the multicore result is 5373 with a single-core figure of 758. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 1220 multicore and 292 single-core. These render benchmarks indicate a processor capable of sustained multi-threaded work, though the data cannot say how the Snapdragon would compare, since no Cinebench results exist for it.

Passmark results for the Intel part are more extensive. The data compression test yields 143123 points, data encryption produces 10933, extended instructions score 12045, and the find prime numbers test lands at 107. Floating point math scores 42809, integer math scores 33734, and the multithread test records 15170. Physics performance is 1173, random string sorting reaches 17238, and single-thread performance is 4100. These figures place the Core 7 350 at the 71st percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 17779.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for the Intel part. The Intel Core 5 221TE averages 17860, which is 0.5 percent higher than the Core 7 350. The AMD EPYC 9374F averages 17693, a 0.5 percent deficit relative to the Core 7 350. The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT averages 17891, putting it 0.6 percent ahead, and the Intel Core 5 120U averages 17898, 0.7 percent ahead. These deltas are small, indicating the Core 7 350 sits in a tightly packed performance band around the 17779 average. None of these rivals are the Snapdragon X1P-26-100, so no direct comparison can be drawn from the nearest-rival data.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 has a percentile rank of 50 among all CPUs, but with an average benchmark score of zero and no recorded tests, that percentile appears to be a placeholder rather than a measured result. The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries, no wins for either processor, and no rival listings for the Snapdragon. The only quantitative statements possible are those describing the Intel part alone.

FAQ

Q: How does the Intel Core 7 350 compare to the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 in benchmark scores?

Architecture Differences

The two processors use fundamentally different designs. The Intel Core 7 350 is built on a 3 nm process node at Intel's own foundry, while the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 uses a 4 nm node fabricated by TSMC. The Intel part carries the codename Wildcat Lake and belongs to the Core 5 (Wildcat Lake) generation. The Qualcomm part uses the Oryon codename and belongs to the Snapdragon X (Plus) generation.

Core counts differ substantially. The Intel Core 7 350 has 6 cores and 6 threads, meaning no hyperthreading is present. The Snapdragon X1P-26-100 has 8 cores and 8 threads, likewise without simultaneous multithreading. The Snapdragon has two additional physical cores, but the database provides no benchmark evidence of how that core advantage translates into performance.

Cache hierarchies are also different. The Intel part has 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The Snapdragon has 288 KB of L1 cache per core, 12 MB of L2 cache per module, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The Snapdragon's larger per-core L1 and per-module L2 allocations suggest a different cache strategy, but without benchmark data, the practical impact remains unmeasured.

Integrated graphics differ. The Intel Core 7 350 uses Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. The Snapdragon X1P-26-100 uses an Adreno X1-45 GPU. Both are integrated solutions for mobile platforms, but no graphics benchmarks exist in the database for either part.

Memory support and PCIe lanes also diverge. The Intel part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory over a single-channel bus with 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth. The Snapdragon supports only LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus with 135.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The Snapdragon's memory bandwidth is more than double that of the Intel part, a notable architectural advantage. PCIe connectivity similarly favors the Snapdragon: Gen 4 with 12 lanes (CPU only) versus Gen 4 with 6 lanes (CPU only) for the Intel part.

Neither processor supports ECC memory, and both have locked multipliers. The Intel part has a production status of Active and a release date of 2026-04-15. The Snapdragon also has Active production status with a release date of 2024-08-27, making it an earlier product.

Specification Differences

The core specifications show clear differences between the two processors. Clock speeds: the Intel Core 7 350 has a base clock of 1.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The Snapdragon X1P-26-100 has a base clock of 3.00 GHz and no boost clock listed. TDP: the Intel part is rated at 15 watts, the Snapdragon at 25 watts. Sockets: Intel uses BGA 1516, Qualcomm uses BGA 2073.

Process node: Intel is on 3 nm, Qualcomm on 4 nm. Foundry: Intel uses its own fabrication, Qualcomm uses TSMC. Cache: Intel has 192 KB L1 per core, 2.5 MB L2 per core, and 6 MB shared L3. Qualcomm has 288 KB L1 per core, 12 MB L2 per module, and 6 MB shared L3. Memory bus: Intel is single-channel, Qualcomm is dual-channel. Memory bandwidth: Intel has 59.7 GB/s, Qualcomm has 135.2 GB/s.

PCIe lanes: Intel has Gen 4 with 6 lanes (CPU only), Qualcomm has Gen 4 with 12 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics: Intel uses Xe3 Graphics (2 Xe), Qualcomm uses Adreno X1-45. Launch MSRP: Intel lists $469, Qualcomm has none. Part numbers: Intel is SAE3F, Qualcomm is X1P26100. Release dates: Intel is 2026-04-15, Qualcomm is 2024-08-27.

Percentiles: Intel is at the 71st percentile, Qualcomm at the 50th. Average benchmark scores: Intel has 17779, Qualcomm has zero. Benchmark records: Intel has 17 tests, Qualcomm has none. Nearest rivals: Intel has four listed, Qualcomm has none.

The Verdict

The data supports only one definitive conclusion: the Intel Core 7 350 is a measured, benchmarked processor with a substantial body of performance results, while the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 has no recorded performance data in the database. Anyone selecting between these two parts for a mobile system has quantitative evidence only for the Intel side. The Core 7 350 delivers a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 8030, a single-core score of 2046, and a Passmark multithread score of 15170, placing it at the 71st percentile of all CPUs.

The Snapdragon's 50th percentile ranking and zero average score cannot be interpreted as performance. The processor may be competitive or may not be, but the database cannot confirm either. Its architectural specifications suggest strengths: 8 cores versus 6, dual-channel memory with 135.2 GB/s bandwidth versus single-channel 59.7 GB/s, and 12 PCIe lanes versus 6. These are meaningful differences on paper. The Snapdragon also has a higher base clock at 3.00 GHz versus 1.50 GHz, though the Intel part boosts to 4.80 GHz and the Snapdragon has no boost figure recorded.

The Intel part counters with a smaller 3 nm process node versus 4 nm, a higher boost clock, and a lower 15 watt TDP versus 25 watts. Its nearest rivals all score within 0.7 percent of its average, confirming it sits in a competitive performance band. The Snapdragon has no rival data for comparison.

For users who rely on recorded benchmarks to make decisions, the Intel Core 7 350 is the only part with measurable results. For users who prioritize the Snapdragon's architectural specifications, the absence of benchmark data leaves those advantages unverified. The database records no head-to-head tests, no wins for either side, and no comparable scores. The verdict from the data alone: the Intel Core 7 350 has demonstrated performance, the Snapdragon X1P-26-100 has not yet been measured.
