For a while now, Intel’s Lunar Lake CPUs have been anticipated. As per Intel’s official PR, the Lunar Lake processors are slated for a Q3 release, with a September release most likely. And just ahead of the speculated launch, new benchmarks have appeared for the Intel Core Ultra 5 236V CPU. These benchmarks for the Intel Core Ultra 5 236V CPU appeared on Geekbench for a Lenovo laptop, which might be released soon.
In case you missed it, as per a well-known leaker, Intel has dropped the ‘Core i’ branding in favor of the new ‘Core Ultra’ moniker. The upcoming Ultra 200V lineup has an efficient SOC design with Lion Cove P-Core and Skymont E-Core architectures, as well as Intel Arc graphics.
Intel Core Ultra 5 236V seems to deliver entry-level performance
According to leaked benchmarks, the Core Ultra 5 236V processor features 8 cores and 8 threads, which gives us the impression that it might be an entry-level CPU in the upcoming Ultra 200V series.
Further, it can deliver a base clock frequency of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock frequency of 4.67 GHz. Another noteworthy feature is that the CPU comes with an 8MB L3 cache. With the given configuration, the processor scored 2021 points in single-core and 5743 points in multi-core performance.
As Intel’s Lunar Lake “Core Ultra 200V” CPU lineup is supposed to be power-efficient, most processors would have power consumption between 17W and 30W. As per the Geekbench entry, the Ultra 5 236V chip consumes 17W power, which is quite low. We don’t yet know if this is the final design for the Ultra 5 236V processor or if it was a testing sample. Further, it is not yet known whether this CPU was tested on a power saver or optimal mode.
In any case, Team Blue has been gearing up for next-gen processors for a while now. So far, the Lunar Lake CPUs, Intel’s mobile processor lineup, as well as Arrow Lake, Intel’s 15th gen CPUs are both getting a 2024 release. In fact, we have also heard about BartLett Lake CPUs in the making, but there has been no confirmation from Intel about this.
Deal of the day
