Intel Core Ultra 200H processors: Benchmark results and specifications

Intel is preparing to launch its new Core Ultra 200H processors based on the Arrow Lake architecture. Three variants of these mobile processors were recently tested on the Geekbench benchmark platform. The Core Ultra 5 225H, Core Ultra 7 255H and Core Ultra 9 285H models were tested in different performance ranges, with initial data on their architecture and performance published.

Overview of the tested models

The tested models of the Core Ultra 200H series are aimed at different application scenarios and user requirements. The processors combine performance and efficiency cores in different configurations, based on Intel’s hybrid architecture. These chips aim to achieve a balance between energy efficiency and computing power and are designed for use in mobile devices such as laptops.

Core Ultra 5 225H: Entry into the series

The Core Ultra 5 225H achieved 2665 points in the Geekbench 6 tests in the single-core test and 14,526 points in the multi-core test. These values indicate a solid computing performance that is suitable for everyday applications and basic multitasking tasks. The processor uses a configuration of four performance cores and ten efficiency cores. The base clock rate is 1.70 GHz, while the boost frequency can reach up to 4.9 GHz. The processor’s L3 cache is specified at 18 MB. In addition, the model has an integrated graphics unit with seven Xe LPG cores, which are operated at a clock rate of up to 2.0 GHz. According to the leaks, clock speeds of up to 5.0 GHz are possible for the performance cores and 4.3 GHz for the efficiency cores, which could make the model interesting for users looking for good performance with low energy consumption.

Core Ultra 7 255H: Mid-range for higher requirements

The Core Ultra 7 255H offers a more powerful configuration with six performance cores and ten efficiency cores. The base clock rate is 2.0 GHz, while the boost frequency is up to 5.1 GHz. The L3 cache size is 24 MB, and the integrated graphics unit has eight Xe LPG cores that clock at up to 2.25 GHz. In the Geekbench tests, this processor achieved 2880 points in the single-core test and 15,815 points in the multi-core test. The results show a moderate improvement compared to the Core Ultra 5, especially in scenarios with higher parallelization. These specifications make the processor interesting for users who need reliable performance for more demanding applications, for example for image processing or moderate gaming tasks Image processing or moderate gaming tasks.

Core Ultra 9 285H: Highest performance of the tested series

The top model in the tested series, the Core Ultra 9 285H, also has 16 cores, but with a higher clock rate. It combines six performance cores and ten efficiency cores with a base clock rate of 3.69 GHz and a boost frequency of up to 5.4 GHz. The L3 cache is also 24 MB. The model’s integrated GPU offers eight Xe-LPG cores that run at up to 2.35 GHz. In the Geekbench tests, the processor achieved 3104 points in the single-core test and 18,006 points in the multi-core test. Compared to the other models tested, the Core Ultra 9 285H is specified with a TDP of 45 watts, while the other models are at 28 watts. This higher power consumption is probably due to the increased performance and the higher clock frequency.

Assessment of the results

The results of the Geekbench tests provide an initial insight into the performance of the Core Ultra 200H processors. The tested models cover a wide range of usage scenarios, from everyday applications to productive tasks and applications with increased performance requirements. It remains to be seen how these processors perform in direct comparison to competitor products and how they fare in real-world applications. Further benchmarks and tests could help to better assess the actual performance and efficiency of these models. Intel’s Core Ultra 200H processors offer sophisticated configurations for mobile devices. With the models presented, the series offers options for different user groups that value efficiency and performance. The Geekbench test results provide a first impression, but further tests will show how these processors perform in practice.
