In a recent test conducted by a Phoronix reader on a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 laptop, the Intel Core Ultra 7 165U “Meteor Lake” processor was benchmarked against other laptops running on Linux. The Core Ultra 7 165U is compared to the Acer Swift 14 with the Core Ultra 7 155H (Meteor Lake), the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U (Zen 4) on Framework 13, and the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS (Zen 4) on Framework 16. The Core Ultra 7 165U has 12 cores, a slightly higher maximum turbo frequency of 4.9 GHz, and a base power of 15 watts compared to the 155H which has 16 cores, a maximum turbo frequency of 4.8 GHz, and a base power of 28 watts.
The Core Ultra 7 165U has 12MB of smart cache and uses 4 Xe cores for Intel graphics, while the 155H has 24MB of smart cache and 8 Xe cores. Despite the differences in core count and cache size, the Core Ultra 7 165U offers lower power consumption compared to the 155H. Graphics benchmarking was not conducted in this test due to the system running Ubuntu 22.04 and remote testing limitations.
Additional laptops, the Framework 13 with Ryzen 7 7840U and Framework 16 with Ryzen 7 7840HS, were also tested alongside the Intel Core Ultra 7 165U for comparison. All laptops were running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with the Linux 6.5 kernel, GNOME on Wayland, and GCC 11.4. Power consumption of the CPU package was monitored during the benchmarking process.
Overall, the Intel Core Ultra 7 165U offers competitive performance in comparison to other recent laptop processors. More information on the differences between the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and Core Ultra 7 165U can be found on the Intel website. Special thanks to Phoronix reader Jonny for enabling remote benchmarking of the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5. Further details and benchmarks of the Intel Core Ultra 7 165U and its performance on Linux can be found on the Phoronix website.
