Arrow Lake Benchmarks Core Ultra 9 275HX Shows Mixed Performance Initial Tests Analyzed

The first performance glimpse of Intel's Arrow Lake HX is here. It presents a complex picture. Excitement surrounded Intel's new CPUs at CES 2025. However, hard numbers were notably absent from Intel's presentation. Now, a leaked Cinebench R23 benchmark of the Core Ultra 9 275HX provides a clearer, though not entirely positive, perspective. Single-Core Letdown, Multi-Core Glint Leaked on X (@ 94G8LA ), the Core Ultra 9 275HX achieves a single-core score of 2,161 points in Cinebench R23. This score is slightly lower than the Core i9-14900HX (Raptor Lake). The 14900HX typically scores around 2,181 points in benchmarks. A generational leap in single-threaded performance is not apparent. Multi-core performance tells a different story. The Core Ultra 9 275HX reaches 35,481 points in multi-core tests. Arrow Lake demonstrates its strength here. It delivers an 18% performance increase over Raptor Lake in multi-threaded workloads. This uplift is significant for tasks like video edit…
