Overview
SummaryThe Intel Core 7 150U is a laptop processor with a hybrid 10-core layout (2 performance cores + 8 efficiency cores) and 12 threads, built on the Raptor Lake architecture (Intel 7 process). It launched in Jan 2024. Clocks run from 1.8 GHz base to 5.4 GHz boost. A 12-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.9 MB per core). It addresses DDR5, DDR4, LPDDR5, LPDDR4X memory up to 96 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA1744 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (20 lanes). Rated TDP is 15 W. Notable platform capabilities: Gaussian Neural Accelerator, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Core 7 150U scores 3,503 in single-core performance and 14,670 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,169 for overall performance, 14,440 for productivity performance, 14,374 for creator performance, 15,495 for engineering performance and 14,177 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,467 per core, 1,223 per thread and 978 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,851. Its performance index is 89, so its overall performance is 11% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
8 workloadsScores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.
In the individual workload tests the Intel Core 7 150U scores 50,997 in integer math, 34,377 in floating-point math, 158,384 in compression, 9,997 in cryptography, 1,008 in physics simulation, 8,731 in vector SIMD, 58 in the prime sieve and 18,214 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 13% below in integer math, 25% below in floating-point math, 31% below in compression, 13% below in cryptography, 8% below in physics simulation, 44% below in vector SIMD, 13% below in the prime sieve and 20% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.
