Intel “Lunar Lake” Core Ultra 7 268V CPU shows up on Geekbench

Intel's Core Ultra 200 CPU family debut is just around the corner, slated for release as early as September. This series is geared towards low-power mobile devices and is expected to be Copilot+ ready due to its AI performance. However, CPU and GPU performance are still important and fortunately, a recent Geekbench leak has shed light on single-core and multi-core performance.

The Geekbench entries (#1, #2) shared by VideoCardz indicate a maximum frequency of 4.9 GHz on an engineering sample. The LP-Cores are expected to reach 3.7 GHz, though Geekbench does not register them. The testing system was equipped with 32 GB of memory and was running Windows 11 Enterprise.

The processor scored 2713-2739 points in the single-core test, outperforming the Core Ultra 9 185H by 20%. As for its multi-core performance, the CPU scored around 10K points, about 20% lower than the Core Ultra 9 185H. Compared to the newly tested Ryzen AI 9 365 SKU, this score suggests that AMD Strix Point (54W) will outperform Intel's CPU in single- and multi-core loads. However, it's worth noting that while Lunar Lake caps at 30 W, both Intel Core Ultra 9 185H and AMD Ryzen 9 365 go up to 54W.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 268V will come with four Lion Cove P-Cores and four Skymont E-Cores. Additionally, the SoC/processor comes with an Arc A140V iGPU with 8 Xe2-Cores capable of boosting up to 2.0 GHz. Contrary to earlier reports, the Core Ultra 7 268V is expected to be the flagship model. Intel is also unveiling the Core Ultra 9 288V variant, boasting a higher clock speed of 5.1 GHz and a 30W PL1, whereas the Ultra 7 268V will feature a 5.0 GHz boost clock speed and a 17W PL1.
