Intel Core Ultra 7 155H & Core Ultra 5 125H “Meteor Lake” CPU Benchmarks Leak: Poor Battery Times Versus AMD Ryzen 7040 APUs

wccftech.com:

The latest benchmarks of Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 7 155H & Core Ultra 5 125H "Meteor Lake" CPUs have been leaked and they don't seem to look that good against AMD's existing Ryzen 7040 laptop APU lineup.

The latest benchmarks come from Bilbili content creator, 及格实验室, who has uploaded some of the results ahead of the 14th December launch of the next-gen Intel Meteor Lake CPUs. The two laptops tested were configured with the Core Ultra 7 155H 16-Core & Core Ultra 5 125H 14-Core CPUs.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU features 16 cores in a 6+8+2 configuration, 22 threads, a base clock of 3.8 GHz a boost clock of up to 4.8 GHz, 24 MB of L3 cache, and a 28W TDP. Meanwhile, Intel's Core Ultra 5 125H offers up to 14 cores, 18 threads, up to 4.50 GHz boost clocks, & 18 MB total of L3 cache. The leaker doesn't mention what laptops were used or the particular configs that do play an important role when determining performance since thermal/power limits on various laptops can drastically affect performance.

In terms of performance, the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H & Core Ultra 5 125H "Meteor Lake" CPUs were tested against the Core i5-13500H "Raptor Lake" and Ryzen 7 7840HS "Phoenix" CPUs. The lineup is as follows:

The Ryzen 7 7840HS, the Core Ultra 7 155H, and the Core i5-13500H CPUs delivered comparable performance & each CPU edged out one another depending on the workload but the Zen 4 architecture was seen consistently outperforming the Meteor Lake chip in single-threaded tests and even managed to be ahead in some multi-threaded benchmarks.

Out of the two single-threaded tests, the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS (Zen 4)
