Intel is making preparations for the release of its next-generation mobile processor family, Meteor Lake, and will be replacing the Core i brand name with Core Ultra. Early Geekbench v6 benchmarks have been leaked for the Core Ultra 7 155H processor, which features an integrated Arc GPU with 8 Xe-Cores. This GPU configuration is also expected to be included in the more powerful Core 9 Ultra 185H CPU. The benchmarking was done on the new ASUS Zenbook 14, which has a hybrid CPU configuration with 16 cores and 22 threads, capable of boosting up to 4.8 GHz. With 32 GB of memory, this configuration provided sufficient memory space for the CPU and GPU.
One of the most interesting findings from the benchmark submission was the OpenCL score of the GPU. In Geekbench v6, the GPU scored 33948 points, surpassing AMD's Radeon 780M GPU found in APU solutions like the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS and Ryzen 9 7940U, which scored 30585 and 27345 points in the same benchmark, respectively. The GPU tile is closing in on the performance of the desktop Intel Arc A380 discrete GPU, which scored 37105 points, with less than a 10% difference. The Xe-LPG GPU version is delivering impressive performance for an integrated GPU platform, indicating that Intel's Meteor Lake SKUs will offer improved performance per watt.
