Intel Core Ultra 5 236V Benchmark Results Hint at Budget-Friendly Focus

New Benchmark Results Reveal Intel Core Ultra 5 236V's Focus on Affordability The performance of the new Intel Core Ultra 5 236V has been measured in a benchmark, and the results show a focus on affordability. The chip, featuring eight cores, eight threads, a base clock speed of 2.1 GHz (boosting to 4.67 GHz), and paired with 16GB of RAM, achieved scores of 2021 and 5743 in single-core and multi-core tests respectively. While these scores are respectable, they fall significantly behind the higher-tier Core Ultra 7 256V and 268V models, demonstrating up to a 50% performance difference. Uncertain Testing Conditions It's important to note that the testing conditions remain unclear. It is unknown whether the CPU was tested in standard or power-saving mode, and the benchmark may have used an engineering sample with artificially limited clock speeds. Laptops equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 200V series processors are expected to hit the market in the third quarter of this year.
