Intel Core Ultra 5 228V beats out Core Ultra 9 185H in benchmark

Another Intel Lunar Lake processor has been found on the Geekbench database. The latest is the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V, which underwent Geekbench 6 testing. In the single-core test, it beat the Core Ultra 9 185H chip despite having a considerably lower TDP.

The Geekbench listing shared by VideoCardz is from an MSI Prestige 13 AI+ EVO laptop equipped with an 8-core Intel Core Ultra 5 228V CPU and 32GB of LPDDR5X-8533X memory. Based on what we know, this processor has a PL1 of 17W, which increases to 30W on PL2. Moreover, it can supposedly clock up to 4.5GHz on its P-cores and 3.5GHz on its E-cores. For the iGPU, it packs an Arc 130V with 7 Xe 2 cores clocked at 1.85GHz.

The Core Ultra 5 228V CPU achieved an impressive 2585 points in the single-core test and 10,053 points in the multi-core test. Despite being a 17W part, it surpasses the single-core performance of the Core Ultra 9 185H (Meteor Lake) at 54W. The multi-core performance aligns with earlier leaks of other Lunar Lake CPUs.

Assuming there are no delays, Intel will debut the Lunar Lake series on September 3rd. Between now and then, we expect to see more benchmark results and learn more details on the upcoming processors.

KitGuru says: The single-core performance of the Intel Lunar Lake processors looks quite good for such a low TDP. We'll have to wait and see if retail samples can also deliver decent multi-core performance gains.
