Intel Core 7 150U
The Intel Core 7 150U is a high-end notebook CPU based on the Raptor Lake-U Refresh (RPL-U) series (Alder Lake architecture), which was introduced in January 2024. The CPU offers 2 performance cores (P-cores, Golden Cove architecture) and 8 efficiency cores (E-cores, Gracemont architecture). The P-cores support hyperthreading (therefore 12 threads together) and clock from 1.8 to 5.4 GHz. The E-cores clock from 1.2 - 4 GHz and should offer comparable performance to old Skylake cores (e.g. i7-6300HQ). The Core 7 150U also supports vPro Essentials management features.
Performance
Due to the similar clock rates, the performance is slightly above the old Core i7-1365U. As usual with Alder Lake, the performance is heavily dependent on the cooling and the TDP settings.
Graphics unit
Like its predecessor, Intel integrates an Intel Xe-based graphics unit called Intel Graphics in Alder Lake. All 96 EUs are probably activated on the 150U.
Features
Like Tiger Lake, Alder-Lake-P also has WiFi 6E and Thunderbolt 4 (4x) partially integrated. The integrated memory controller supports LPDDR5-6400 and the integrated Gaussian and Neural Accelerator (GNA) is installed in version 3.0. The Quick Sync 8 media engine is the same as in Rocket Lake and supports MPEG-2, AVC, VC-1 decode, JPEG, VP8 decode, VP9, HEVC and AV1 decode. The chip supports PCIe 5.0 x8 for a dGPU and two PCIe 4.0 x4 for SSDs. The PCH also offers PCIe Gen3 x12.
Power consumption
The Intel Core 7 150U is specified with 15 watts (PL1) TDP and 55 watts (PL2) max. turbo power. The processor is manufactured using the further improved Intel 7 process (10 nm SuperFin).
