Architecture Differences

The Intel Core 7 350 belongs to the Wildcat Lake codename family and is part of the Core 5 (Wildcat Lake) generation. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 uses the Oryon codename and is part of the Snapdragon X (Plus) generation. Both processors target the mobile market segment and are currently in active production.

The Intel processor is built on a 3 nm process node at Intel's foundry, while the Qualcomm chip uses a 4 nm process at TSMC. This process difference affects transistor density and power characteristics, though the database does not list transistor counts or die sizes for either part. The Intel part has a TDP of 15 watts, while the Qualcomm part has a TDP of 30 watts, indicating a higher thermal envelope for the Snapdragon.

Cache hierarchies differ notably. The Intel Core 7 350 provides 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 has 288 KB of L1 per core, 12 MB of L2 per module, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The Qualcomm part has larger L1 and L2 allocations per core, while both share the same total L3 capacity.

Memory support differs. The Intel processor supports both DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory over a single-channel interface, yielding 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth. The Qualcomm part supports only LPDDR5X, but uses a dual-channel interface that delivers 135.2 GB/s. Neither processor supports ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity also varies. The Intel Core 7 350 provides Gen 4 with 6 lanes from the CPU. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU, doubling the available CPU-attached lanes. Both parts have locked multipliers.

The integrated graphics differ as well. Intel uses Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe execution units, while Qualcomm uses the Adreno X1-45. The database does not provide a comparison of graphics performance between the two.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Core 7 350 and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100. The Qualcomm part has an empty benchmark array, meaning no recorded scores exist for any test in the database. The Intel part, by contrast, has a full suite of measured results across Cinebench and PassMark workloads.

The Intel Core 7 350 achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 8,030 and a single-core score of 2,046. In Cinebench R20, it scores 5,373 multi-core and 758 single-core. The R15 results show 1,220 multi-core and 292 single-core. These scores place the Intel chip at the 71st percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17,779.

PassMark results for the Intel part include a multi-thread score of 15,170, a single-thread score of 4,100, and an integer math score of 33,734. Floating point math reaches 42,809, while data compression scores 143,123. Data encryption achieves 10,933, and extended instructions score 12,045. The find prime numbers test yields 107, and random string sorting produces 17,238. Physics scores 1,173.

Since the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 has no benchmark entries, the data shows no wins for that processor in any test category. The Intel Core 7 350 has wins in every available benchmark category, but these wins are by default rather than by direct comparison, as the Qualcomm part has no recorded measurements. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counts for both processors are zero in the database.

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core 7 350 provide context for its performance. The Intel Core 5 221TE has an average score of 17,860, which is 0.5 percent higher than the Core 7 350. The AMD EPYC 9374F scores 17,693, which is 0.5 percent lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT scores 17,891, which is 0.6 percent higher, and the Intel Core 5 120U scores 17,898, which is 0.7 percent higher. These deltas place the Core 7 350 within a tight competitive band among similarly scoring processors.

Both processors have ECC memory support set to false, locked multipliers, and active production status. Neither has a listed series or architecture field. Both target the mobile market segment. The Intel part has a 71st percentile ranking across all CPUs, while the Qualcomm part sits at the 50th percentile with no benchmark data.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 350 wins in all measured performance categories, as the database contains no benchmark results for the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100. The Intel chip delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 8,030 and a single-core score of 2,046, indicating strong performance in both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads. Its PassMark single-thread score of 4,100 confirms responsiveness in lightly threaded applications, while the multi-thread score of 15,170 shows capability in parallel tasks.

The Intel part's higher boost clock of 4.80 GHz versus the Qualcomm's 4.00 GHz suggests an advantage in bursty, single-threaded workloads that rely on maximum frequency. The Intel chip also has a lower TDP of 15 watts versus 30 watts, which may be advantageous for thermal-constrained mobile designs, though the database does not provide thermal or power efficiency measurements.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 wins in memory bandwidth, delivering 135.2 GB/s versus the Intel part's 59.7 GB/s. This could benefit memory-intensive workloads, but the database lacks benchmark scores to confirm any real-world advantage. The Qualcomm part also has more cores (8 versus 6), more threads (8 versus 6), a higher base clock (3.40 GHz versus 1.50 GHz), and double the CPU-attached PCIe lanes (12 versus 6). Larger L1 and L2 cache allocations per core also characterize the Qualcomm part, though again no benchmark data verifies the impact of these specifications.

The Qualcomm chip was released earlier, on September 2, 2024, versus April 15, 2026 for the Intel part. Its unknown manufacturer and lack of a launch MSRP distinguish it from the Intel chip, which has a listed launch MSRP of $469.

The recorded data shows the Intel Core 7 350 as the only processor with measurable performance, so any use-case split must rely on the Intel part's benchmark results. The Intel chip at the 71st percentile with an average score of 17,779 positions it near the Intel Core 5 221TE, AMD EPYC 9374F, AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT, and Intel Core 5 120U, all within 0.7 percent of its average score. For workloads that depend on measured multi-core throughput, the Intel part's Cinebench R23 score of 8,030 indicates solid capability. For single-threaded tasks, the R23 single-core score of 2,046 and PassMark single-thread score of 4,100 show strong performance. The Qualcomm part, with no benchmark entries, cannot be assigned any performance-based wins in the database.
