Intel Lunar Lake shows its claws. Performance is impressive
New performance tests of the next-generation mobile processors, Intel Lunar Lake, have appeared online. This time, the flagship model was tested.
In the coming weeks and months, a lot of new processors will hit the market. Both AMDWhat Intel are preparing to refresh their offers for ultrabooks and desktop computers. Red laptops with chipsets Ryzen AI 300 have already hit the market, and now it’s time to take a look at the series Lunar Lake from the Blues.
Intel Lunar Lake is a big leap in single-threaded performance
In the test program results database Geekbench6 new entries have appeared regarding MSI Prestige 13 AI EVOi.e. a notebook equipped with a processor Intel Core Ultra 288V. This is the flagship unit equipped with 8 cores and 12 threads with a clock speed of up to 5.1 GHz and 32 GB of integrated LPDDR5X-8533 memory.
The new flagship for ultrabooks in the first tests reaches up to 2901 points for single-threaded performance and up to 11,048 points for multi-threaded tests, all this with TDP 30W. Of course, these values may still change, because we are talking about products still in the development phase.
How does this compare to other CPUs? The Intel Core Ultra 288V offers about 27% better single-threaded performance and 13% worse multi-threaded performance than the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H. It should be noted, however, that the second processor is a 16-core, 22-thread design with a TDP of 53 W.
Our ASUS Zenbook S 16 laptop review shows that The Intel Core Ultra 288V is about 5% more efficient in single-threaded tasks and about 17% slower than the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 in multi-threading. Again, however, we are talking about a processor with more cores and threads (12R/24W).
What do these results mean? That, as usual, it is worth waiting until the premiere to judge. Despite everything, it seems that Intel will offer a big IPC jump and good performance with long working time on a single charge. However, you can’t cheat physics, so CPUs with more cores will still be more efficient.
