Intel’s upcoming Lunar Lake chips are making waves in the benchmarking world, with the Core Ultra 7 258V model outperforming the Meteor Lake Core Ultra 5 125H and even matching the performance of AMD’s Ryzen 9 and Ryzen 7 7040 ‘Phonenix’ chips. The Core Ultra 200V processors are expected to launch in September of this year, as laptop manufacturers are currently testing and finalizing their products. Benchmark results for the Core Ultra 7 258V chip have also appeared on Geekbench.
The benchmark test on the BAPCo CrossMark platform revealed the Core Ultra 7 258V’s impressive performance, showcasing a P-Core Boost clock of 4.8 GHz and a base clock of 2.2 GHz. Despite its low TDP of 17W and maximum turbo power of 30W, the 258V model managed to outperform some of the Meteor Lake cores with higher power consumption. It is important to note that Lunar Lake chips will be abandoning Hyper-Threading technology to improve power efficiency for thin and light laptops.
Rumors suggest that the Core Ultra 7 258V will have four P-Cores and four E-Cores, totaling eight cores and eight threads, which is less than the Core Ultra 5 125H model. These comparative results are based on laptops in the engineering development stage, and actual performance may vary depending on further optimizations by manufacturers.
For those eager to experience the latest from Intel, it is advised to wait for laptop reviews to have a better understanding of the performance and potential drawbacks of the new chips. This will help consumers make informed decisions and avoid any surprises when using the new technology.
