AMD Ryzen 7 250 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data does not include any overlapping benchmark scores between the AMD Ryzen 7 250 and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100. The head-to-head benchmark array in the database is empty, which means direct score comparisons cannot be made from the available measurements. The AMD processor carries 15 benchmark entries, while the Qualcomm processor has zero recorded benchmark scores.

The AMD Ryzen 7 250 posts an average benchmark score of 38,221, placing it at the 86th percentile among all CPUs tracked in the database. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 holds a 50th percentile ranking with an average benchmark score of 0, which indicates that no scores have been recorded for it yet. This data gap prevents any head-to-head numerical comparison of specific tests such as Cinebench or Passmark.

For the AMD Ryzen 7 250, the Cinebench R23 multicore score is 14,676, while the single-core score is 1,715. The Cinebench R15 multicore result is 2,302, and the single-core result is 269. Passmark results for the AMD part include a multithread score of 25,089, a single-thread score of 3,678, integer math at 91,565, floating-point math at 53,285, data compression at 300,708, data encryption at 17,661, extended instructions at 21,613, prime number finding at 73, random string sorting at 35,861, and physics at 1,147.

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 7 250 in the database are Intel parts. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245T has an average score of 38,194, which is 0.1 percent lower than the AMD part. The Intel Core i5-13600HX scores 38,261, putting it 0.1 percent above the AMD processor. The Intel Core i5-14490F records 38,149, which is 0.2 percent below. The Intel Core Ultra 9 285H achieves 38,312, sitting 0.2 percent higher. These tight margins indicate that the AMD Ryzen 7 250 performs in the same tier as these four Intel processors, with differences of less than one percent in either direction.

Since the Qualcomm part has no benchmark scores, its nearest rivals array is empty, and no percentile comparison can be established beyond the 50th percentile ranking. The database shows that the Qualcomm part sits at the median of all CPUs, but without scores, the specific magnitude of its performance relative to the AMD part cannot be quantified.

Where Each One Wins

Without overlapping benchmark data, the wins for each processor must be assessed from their individual recorded characteristics rather than from direct test scores. The AMD Ryzen 7 250 shows wins in threading capability: it has 16 threads against 8 threads for the Qualcomm part. The AMD processor also has a higher boost clock at 5.10 GHz versus 4.00 GHz for Qualcomm.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 shows wins in base clock speed, listing 3.40 GHz against 3.30 GHz for AMD. The Qualcomm part also has a higher memory bandwidth at 135.2 GB/s versus 89.6 GB/s for AMD. The Qualcomm processor features a larger L1 cache at 288 KB per core compared to 64 KB per core for AMD, and a larger L2 cache at 12 MB per module versus 1 MB per core for AMD.

The AMD part wins on L3 cache capacity with 16 MB shared, while the Qualcomm part has 6 MB shared. The AMD processor also provides more PCIe lanes with 20 lanes at Gen 4, whereas the Qualcomm part offers 12 lanes at Gen 4. The AMD part has a lower TDP of 28 watts against 30 watts for Qualcomm.

These differences suggest distinct usage profiles. The AMD Ryzen 7 250, with 16 threads and a higher boost clock, is positioned for workloads that scale with simultaneous multithreading and single-thread bursts. The Qualcomm part, with higher base clock and substantially more memory bandwidth, is positioned for memory-intensive operations and sustained throughput at moderate clock speeds.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 250 uses the Zen 4 architecture under the codename Hawk Point, manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The transistor count is 25,000 million, and the die size is 178 mm². The processor integrates Radeon 780M graphics and uses the AMD Socket FP8.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 uses the Oryon codename under the Snapdragon X (Plus) generation. It is also manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC, but the architecture field is listed as null in the database, and no transistor count or die size is recorded. The integrated graphics are Adreno X1-45, and the socket is Qualcomm BGA 2073.

Cache organization differs substantially. The AMD part allocates 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3. The Qualcomm part allocates 288 KB L1 per core, 12 MB L2 per module, and 6 MB shared L3. The Qualcomm L2 structure is module-based rather than per-core, which reflects a different design philosophy for data locality.

Memory support also differs. The AMD processor supports DDR5 with dual-channel memory bus, while the Qualcomm processor supports LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory bus. The memory bandwidth figures reflect this: 89.6 GB/s for AMD versus 135.2 GB/s for Qualcomm.

PCIe capabilities differ as well. The AMD part has Gen 4 with 20 lanes for the CPU, while the Qualcomm part has Gen 4 with 12 lanes for the CPU. Neither processor supports ECC memory, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The AMD part has a higher boost clock by 1.10 GHz, while the Qualcomm part has a higher base clock by 0.10 GHz. The AMD part lists a release date of January 5, 2025, while the Qualcomm part lists September 2, 2024.

The Verdict

The recorded data does not support a direct performance verdict between these two processors because no shared benchmarks exist. The AMD Ryzen 7 250 has 15 benchmark scores, all pointing to a processor at the 86th percentile with an average score of 38,221. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 has no benchmark scores and a 50th percentile ranking, but that ranking cannot be validated without measurements.

For users prioritizing thread count, the AMD part delivers 16 threads versus 8 threads for Qualcomm, which indicates stronger parallel workload capability. For users prioritizing memory bandwidth, the Qualcomm part delivers 135.2 GB/s versus 89.6 GB/s for AMD, which indicates stronger memory throughput.

For users prioritizing clock speed, the AMD part has a higher boost clock at 5.10 GHz, while the Qualcomm part has a higher base clock at 3.40 GHz. The lower TDP of 28 watts for AMD versus 30 watts for Qualcomm gives a slight efficiency edge to AMD in the recorded specifications.

The database shows that the AMD Ryzen 7 250 sits within 0.2 percent of four Intel processors in average score, which places it in a well-established performance tier. The Qualcomm part has no comparable data, so its position relative to AMD or any other processor cannot be determined from measurements.

The verdict, strictly from the data, is that the AMD Ryzen 7 250 is the only one of the two with recorded performance evidence, and it performs at the level of mid-range to upper-mid-range Intel mobile processors. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 is an unmeasured part in the database, so no performance-based recommendation can be made for it.
