Intel Core Ultra 9 288V Surfaces on GeekBench, Flexes 30W Power
Products featuring the AMD Ryzen AI 300 series have already begun to emerge, while Intel’s Lunar Lake, despite numerous leaks, is expected to debut around mid-September. Compared to the desktop platform, the competition on the mobile platform is fiercer, especially with the inclusion of NPU and Qualcomm.
According to Wccftech, the Intel Core Ultra 9 288V, the highest specification product within the Lunar Lake corresponding Core Ultra 200V series, has made its first appearance in the GeekBench 6 database. It is the only model in the Core Ultra 200V series with a PL1 of 30W, while the others are all 17W.
The information reveals that the Core Ultra 9 288V has a 4P+4E configuration, does not support hyper-threading, with each P-Core having 2.5MB of L2 cache and a total of 12MB L3 cache, accompanied by 32GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory. Previous leaks indicate that the Core Ultra 9 288V’s P-Core can boost up to 5.1 GHz, and the E-Core up to 3.7 GHz, integrating the Arc 140V iGPU with a frequency of 2.05 GHz, and the NPU has a computational power of 48 TOPS.
The Core Ultra 9 288V underwent three benchmark tests, achieving single-core scores between 2790 and 2901, and multi-core scores between 9596 and 11048. When compared to the 33W Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, its single-core performance leads by approximately 7%, but its multi-core performance lags by over 25%, due to differences in overall specifications.
Lunar Lake utilizes TSMC’s N3B process to manufacture the entire computing module, including the P-Core and E-Core, corresponding to the new Lion Cove and Skymont architectures respectively. The integrated graphics adopt the next-generation Battlemage Xe2-LPG architecture, supporting up to 8 Xe-Cores, real-time ray tracing, VCC/H.266 hardware video decoding, and video outputs such as DP 1.4, HDMI 2.1, eDP 1.4/1.5.
