Recent leaks continue to reveal impressive scores for AMD's upcoming Zen5 architecture, and now Intel's next-generation low-power mobile processor, Lunar Lake, has surfaced with its full model number, specifications, and official benchmark scores.
GeekBench 6 has shown results for the Core Ultra 7 268V, which will be the next flagship model featuring 4 large cores and 4 small cores, amounting to 8 cores and 8 threads. The reported maximum boost frequency is 5.0GHz, with a base frequency of 3.7GHz. However, the actual detected maximum frequency is 4881MHz, which may slightly fall short of the claimed speeds.
The single-core score peaks at 2739, representing a 20% improvement over the current flagship Core Ultra 9 185H, marking a significant enhancement.
Given that the new flagship Core Ultra 9 288V only has a 100MHz higher boost frequency, its performance is anticipated to be comparable.
The highest multi-core score is 10036, which is up to 22% lower than the Core Ultra 9 185H. However, it's important to note that the latter features a configuration of 6+8+2, totaling 16 cores and 22 threads, which naturally results in stronger performance.
When compared to AMD's Ryzen AI 300 series, the Core Ultra 200V series struggles to compete. The sub-flagship Ryzen AI 9 365 outperforms in single-core tests by almost 10% and leads by up to 45% in multi-core tests with its 12 cores and 24 threads.
Although the two processors fall within different power consumption ranges—one at 17-30W and the other at 15-54W—their performance overlaps considerably.
