Intel’s Core Ultra 7 268V: First Lunar Lake Benchmarks Revealed
Recent news about Intel’s Lunar Lake has been abundant. Following the detailed unveiling of the Ultra 200V series processors, the Core Ultra 7 268V, a member of this lineup, has appeared in the Geekbench benchmark database, undergoing two tests. The highest single-core score achieved was 2739 points, while the highest multi-core score reached 10036 points.
Neither test involved any specific device models, both labeled as “Intel Corporation Lunar Lake Client Platform.” The Core Ultra 7 286V used in these tests features a 4P+4E core configuration, equipped with 32GB of memory. The P-core base frequency is 3.3GHz, with a maximum turbo frequency of 4.8GHz (4887MHz) recorded during testing, slightly below the previously revealed 5.0GHz. This discrepancy of 0.2GHz could be due to the balanced power strategy employed during the tests, potentially limiting the processor’s maximum turbo frequency.
The Core Ultra 7 268V achieved single-core scores of 2739 and 2713 points in the two tests, and multi-core scores of 9907 and 10036 points. The single-core performance surpasses the Ultra 9 185H by approximately 200 points, though the multi-core performance lags significantly due to the difference in core count. Similarly, compared to the Ultra 7 165H, the single-core improvement is notable (around 300 points), while the multi-core performance deficit is attributed to fewer cores.
It is known that the Ultra 200V series will include nine models, with the Ultra 7 268V positioned as the second flagship product. Its PL1 power consumption is set at 17W, and PL2 at 30W. It will feature the Arc 140V integrated GPU with a frequency of 2.0GHz, an NPU unit with 48 TOPS of computing power, and XMX performance reaching 66 TOPS, meeting Microsoft’s requirement for AI PC computational power to exceed 40 TOPS. Intel previously stated that devices equipped with Lunar Lake processors are scheduled to be released in late September this year.
