Lunar Lake 200V processors are all set to be launched on September 3rd, meaning we’ll only have to wait a short while before we witness what these mobile processors bring to the table. We already saw the Intel Core Ultra 5 236V’s performance on Geekbench, and now we have the benchmarks for the processor directly below it in the performance hierarchy.
The Intel Core Ultra 5 228V’s single– and multi-core benchmarks have shown up on Geekbench, and the generational improvement is certainly there. Its single-core score is 2,585, while its multi-core score is 10,053.
As a reference, the Ultra Core 9 185H’s single- and multi-core scores on Geekbench are 2,261 and 12,061, respectively, at 54W. So, the Core Ultra 228V outperforms the 185H in single-core by a good margin, and that is even more impressive when you factor in that it sits at 17W. While the 185H has better multi-core performance, that doesn’t mean the 228V is completely incapable of pushing multi-threaded workloads.
The main difference between these upcoming Core Ultra processors is their TDP and clock speed. That said, the 228V has unofficial E-core and P-core boost clock speeds of 3.5 GHz and 4.5 GHz, putting it at the lowest end of the performance hierarchy. However, given its performance in the Geekbench benchmark and low 17W TDP, it should be a good option for those who want decent performance and a long battery life.
