The Intel Core Ultra 7 255H, an upcoming Arrow Lake-H processor, has appeared on Geekbench, showcasing promising performance improvements over its Meteor Lake counterpart.
The Core Ultra 7 255H features 16 cores (6 Lion Cove P-cores + 10 Crestmont E-cores) and a maximum boost clock of 5.1 GHz. However, benchmark results indicate the chip may struggle to maintain its peak frequency consistently.
Benchmark Results
In Geekbench's single-core test, the 255H scored 2,754 points, a 14% increase over the Core Ultra 7 155H (Meteor Lake) and roughly on par with the Lunar Lake Core Ultra 7 258V. It also performs similarly to the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365, which scored 2,797 points.
The multi-core score of 15,040 points represents a more substantial 22% improvement over the 155H and a 12% lead over the Ryzen AI 9 365. These results are particularly impressive given the lack of hyperthreading.
| CPU | Single-Core Score | Multi-Core Score |
|---|---|---|
| Intel Core Ultra 7 255H (Arrow Lake) | 2754 | 15040 |
| Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (Meteor Lake) | ~2416 (estimated) | ~12327 (estimated) |
| Intel Core Ultra 7 258V (Lunar Lake) | ~2754 (estimated) | N/A |
| AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 | 2797 | 13436 |
Intel is expected to officially unveil the Core Ultra 7 255H alongside other Arrow Lake processors at CES 2025.
