A powerful new contender in the tech world has made its appearance on the Geekbench platform: the Intel Core Ultra 7 255H. This cutting-edge processor is part of Intel’s eagerly anticipated Arrow Lake-H line and is slated for a big reveal at CES 2025. Boasting a robust architecture with 16 cores—comprising 10 Crestmont E-cores and 6 Lion Cove P-cores—it promises to be a hefty competitor in the high-performance CPU market.
With a max boost clock reaching up to 5.1 GHz, the Core Ultra 7 255H showcases promising performance metrics. Despite some challenges in maintaining peak frequency, a recurring theme in the series, this processor still manages to deliver significant gains over previous iterations. The Core Ultra 7 255H scores a remarkable 2,754 points in Geekbench’s single-core test, demonstrating a 14% performance increase compared to its predecessor, the Core Ultra 7 155H. This positions it neck and neck with the Lunar Lake-based Core Ultra 7 258V.
In the multi-core arena, the Core Ultra 7 255H scores an impressive 15,040 points, outpacing the Core Ultra 7 155H by 22% and surpassing AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 365 by 12%. These achievements indicate a solid step forward in processing power, even without hyperthreading, making this CPU an exciting prospect for tech enthusiasts eagerly awaiting CES 2025.
As Intel continues to refine the Arrow Lake-H lineup, the unveiling of their complete series, including the companion Arrow Lake-HX and Arrow Lake-U processors, promises to be a highlight for tech aficionados and industry experts alike. Keep an eye out for further updates as CES 2025 approaches, bringing a wave of innovations and advancements in computing technology.
