AMD Ryzen 7 250 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no recorded head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 7 250 against the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100. The headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty, and the win counters show zero for both processors. This means a direct score-by-score comparison cannot be constructed from the available measurements.

The AMD Ryzen 7 250 does have a substantial set of standalone benchmark records. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 14676, while its single-core score is 1715. In Cinebench R15, the multi-core result is 2302 and the single-core result is 269. PassMark results include a multi-thread score of 25089 and a single-thread score of 3678. The data compression test records 300708, integer math records 91565, floating point math records 53285, and extended instructions records 21613. Random string sorting is measured at 35861, data encryption at 17661, find prime numbers at 73, and physics at 1147.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 has no benchmark records in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its nearest rivals list is empty. The only comparative metric available is the percentile ranking: the AMD processor sits at the 86th percentile of all CPUs, while the Qualcomm processor sits at the 50th percentile. That percentile gap suggests the AMD part is positioned considerably higher in overall performance distribution, but without direct benchmark numbers for the Qualcomm chip, no exact deltas can be calculated.

The AMD Ryzen 7 250 has four nearest rivals with recorded average scores. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245T averages 38194, which is 0.1 percent lower than the AMD part's average of 38221. The Intel Core i5-13600HX averages 38261, which is 0.1 percent higher. The Intel Core i5-14490F averages 38149, which is 0.2 percent higher than the AMD part. The Intel Core Ultra 9 285H averages 38312, which is 0.2 percent higher. These deltas are all within a narrow band, indicating the AMD Ryzen 7 250 performs on par with these four Intel processors in aggregate scoring.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in architecture. The AMD Ryzen 7 250 uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, belonging to the Ryzen 7 generation. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 uses the Oryon codename under the Snapdragon X Plus generation. The AMD part is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, and the Qualcomm part is also built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. Both use the same node and foundry, but the underlying designs are unrelated.

Core and thread counts differ. The AMD chip has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Qualcomm chip has 8 cores and 8 threads. This means the AMD part supports simultaneous multithreading, effectively doubling its thread count, whereas the Qualcomm part does not. The AMD base clock is 3.30 GHz with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Qualcomm base clock is 3.00 GHz, and the boost clock field is null, meaning no boost frequency is recorded in the database.

Cache hierarchies are structured differently. The AMD processor has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Qualcomm processor has 288 KB of L1 cache per core, 12 MB of L2 cache per module, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The per-core L1 allocation is substantially larger on the Qualcomm side, while the AMD side has a larger shared L3 pool.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD chip supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus with a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Qualcomm chip supports LPDDR5X memory over a dual-channel bus with a bandwidth of 135.2 GB/s. The Qualcomm part records a higher memory bandwidth figure. Neither processor supports ECC memory. PCIe connectivity also differs: the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the Qualcomm part provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes.

Integrated graphics are different. The AMD chip uses the Radeon 780M, while the Qualcomm chip uses the Adreno X1-45. The AMD processor uses the AMD Socket FP8, and the Qualcomm processor uses the Qualcomm BGA 2073 socket. The AMD processor has a recorded part number of 100-000001722, while the Qualcomm part number is X1P26100. The AMD processor's transistor count is recorded as 25,000 million with a die size of 178 mm², while both fields are null for the Qualcomm processor.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 250 wins on thread count. Its 16 threads double the Qualcomm part's 8 threads, which matters for workloads that scale with thread-level parallelism. It also has a higher base clock at 3.30 GHz versus 3.00 GHz, and a recorded boost clock of 5.10 GHz that the Qualcomm part lacks entirely. Its L3 cache is larger at 16 MB shared versus 6 MB shared. Its PCIe lane count is higher at 20 lanes versus 12 lanes. Its percentile ranking is higher at 86 versus 50. Its average benchmark score is 38221, while the Qualcomm part records 0. Its transistor count and die size are recorded, while the Qualcomm fields are null.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 wins on memory bandwidth. Its 135.2 GB/s exceeds the AMD part's 89.6 GB/s. Its L1 cache per core is larger at 288 KB versus 64 KB. Its L2 cache per module is larger at 12 MB versus 1 MB per core, though the organization differs. Its TDP is lower at 25 versus 28, indicating a slightly lower power envelope. Its release date is earlier at 2024-08-27 versus 2025-01-05. The Qualcomm part also uses LPDDR5X memory support, which the AMD part does not list.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to the AMD Ryzen 7 250 as the stronger processor in aggregate terms. Its 86th percentile ranking versus the Qualcomm part's 50th percentile places it well above in the overall CPU distribution. Its average benchmark score of 38221, derived from a full suite of Cinebench and PassMark tests, stands against a 0 average for the Qualcomm part, which has no recorded benchmarks in the database.

For multithreaded workloads, the AMD chip has a clear structural advantage with 16 threads against 8. Its boost clock of 5.10 GHz also gives it a peak frequency advantage that the Qualcomm part cannot match, since no boost clock is recorded for it. The larger shared L3 cache on the AMD side supports workloads that benefit from a bigger pooled cache.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 has advantages in memory bandwidth, with 135.2 GB/s versus 89.6 GB/s, and in per-core L1 cache size. Its lower TDP of 25 versus 28 may appeal to designs prioritizing lower power draw. Its LPDDR5X memory support is a differentiating feature.

A user choosing between these two should consider the AMD Ryzen 7 250 for tasks that rely on thread scaling and high boost frequencies, based on its higher percentile and available benchmark scores. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 should be considered when memory bandwidth is the priority, though its lack of recorded benchmark data makes a performance comparison from the database impossible. The data available favors the AMD processor in overall standing, but the Qualcomm part's memory subsystem and cache organization offer specific advantages that the AMD part does not match.
