Core Ultra 7 365 Test Sample Gets Geekbenched, Scores Indicate Generational Regression
As of this morning, a mysterious "Lenovo 4810X90100" test platform has produced slightly concerning benchmark scores. The freshly-archived database entry shows a next-gen laptop/notebook being driven by an unreleased Intel Core Ultra 7 365 "Panther Lake-H" mobile processor. Overall Geekbench 6.3 scores—2451 (single-core) and 9714 (multicore)—were swiftly noted down by keen trackers of emerging PC hardware. According to Geekbench browser data, Team Blue's upcoming mid-range SKU is an 8-core design, with two contained clusters consisting of four units (each). This leak seems to align with official Intel preview material that describes a generic product's 4 Performance-core + 4 Low Power-Efficiency-core configuration.
The leaked "Panther Lake-H" part's Geekbench tallies were compared to scores generated by similarly positioned predecessors: Core Ultra 7 268V and Core Ultra 7 258V. Surprisingly, the older "Lunar Lake-H" mobile CPUs—on average—outperform the younger sibling. When weighing up the differences between Core Ultra 7 268V and Core Ultra 7 365 SKUs, Wccftech acknowledged clock speed disparities and contrasting TDP ranges. Unfortunately, the leaked "Panther Lake-H" candidate trails behind in terms single-core and multicore of scores—6% and 7%, respectively. Notebookcheck reckoned that the evaluated Core Ultra 7 365 APU offers underwhelming "12th-gen-like performance." When cross-referenced against the Core Ultra 7 258V, Intel's newer chip lagged behind in both single-core (11%) and multicore scenarios (10%). It is plausible that the "Lenovo 4810X90100" prototype—sporting 64 GB of non-specific system memory—was set up with pre-release drivers, therefore putting its hosted Core Ultra 7 365 processor in a disadvantaged position.
