Intel Core 7 150UL socket: LGA 1700
The Intel Core 7 150UL uses LGA 1700, the LGA socket for Raptor Lake-PS edge processors with DDR4 or DDR5 and PCIe expansion. The 10-core chip at 15 W fits low-power edge boards with vendor BIOS support.

What the Core 7 150UL is
The Core 7 150UL is a 10-core and 12-thread edge processor that launched in April 2024 for efficient 7-series edge nodes. Two Performance-cores with 4 threads plus 8 Efficient-cores give 12 threads at 1.7 GHz base and up to 5.0 GHz boost. Cache is 12 MB of Smart Cache. The 15 W base with 5.0 GHz peak gives strong UI bursts in sealed boxes.
Smart kiosks and gateway inference share the E-heavy layout. Performance-cores handle touch response while Efficient-cores poll devices. Shared DDR4 or DDR5 keeps cost down, since target loads need no discrete card.
Premium fanless gateways fit here. The 5.0 GHz peak beats 5-series UL on single-threaded work. Sustained all-core vision that exceeds 15 W should move to HL such as the Intel Core 7 150HL, where power scales with throughput.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 150UL fits LGA 1700 PS low-power boards with 15 W delivery. Desktop chipset support does not cover PS IDs, so industrial lists are authoritative. The neutral sentence covers the vendor-specific case.
Compact PS boards pair this SKU with SODIMM and M.2 for premium nodes. Assured power around 15 W allows fin stacks. PS-branch BIOS with the 150UL ID is required.
UL 7-series buyers compare the 150UL against the 160UL on 0.2 GHz turbo. The gap shows in bursts only. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide explains the vendor-list model.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR4-3200 or DDR5-5200 in two channels via SODIMM is the PS memory map. Shared graphics use part of the pool, so 16 GB to 32 GB is practical for 7-series edge with vision.
PCIe up to 20 lanes with PCH gives NVMe, LAN and capture. One x16 plus M.2 and Key E is common. Fixed splits need manual checks.
Cooling is 15 W fanless-capable with validated fins. No boxed cooler ships with tray edge parts. Sealed operation depends on chassis ratings.
Upgrade paths
LGA allows UL steps where listed, such as to the Intel Core 7 160UL for more turbo. Memory and NVMe can also grow. Firmware must support the target.
The larger leap is to 45 W HL boards. A working 150UL lasts years with care. Desktop LGA 1700 is a different class.
Frequently asked questions
What socket does the Core 7 150UL use?
It uses LGA 1700 PS edge packaging for 15 W boards. Vendor lists decide fit.
How fast is the Core 7 150UL?
Ten cores and 12 threads at 1.7 GHz base and up to 5.0 GHz boost, with 12 MB of cache at 15 W.
What memory does the 150UL support?
DDR4-3200 or DDR5-5200 in two channels. CPU and graphics share the pool.
Does the 150UL work in desktop boards?
Check the PS vendor list. Desktop coverage is separate.
