Intel Core Ultra 7 366H iGPU Benchmark Leak Shows 26% Performance Boost Over Radeon 840M

The Intel Panther Lake series is capturing attention with benchmarks revealing intriguing performance capabilities. A new Core Ultra 7 366H model has surfaced on Geekbench, showcasing a unique blend of specifications and graphics performance that rivals more established GPUs.

Unveiling the Core Ultra 7 366H

As the anticipated launch of Intel Panther Lake CPUs approaches, we’re beginning to see more of these processors being evaluated. Among these, the Core Ultra 7 366H stands out, featuring a 16-core configuration. This includes 4 performance cores, 8 efficient cores, and 4 low-power efficiency cores. Reports suggest it operates at a base frequency of 2.00 GHz, with potential boosts reaching up to 4.8 GHz. The CPU’s 18 MB L3 cache further enhances its competitive edge.

This model’s integrated GPU employs 4 Xe3 cores. While it competes against AMD’s Ryzen 7 series, direct comparisons to Radeon 860M aren’t applicable. However, benchmark data includes performance metrics for Radeon 860M and Radeon 840M for context.

The Ultra 7 366H iGPU achieved a score of 22,813 in the Geekbench Vulkan test, edging out the GTX 1050 Ti. This result marks a 26% improvement over the 4-Core Radeon 840M, although it trails the 8-Core Radeon 860M by nearly 40%. Given its target market, this performance is reasonable, as these CPUs are intended for mainstream laptops rather than high-end gaming devices like the Strix Point or Ryzen AI 7 series Krackan Point.

Higher-end Panther Lake SKUs with 10 or 12 Xe3 cores deliver performance akin to the RTX 3050, yet these models are expected to carry a premium price tag. For budget-conscious consumers, AMD’s Krackan Point remains a formidable option.
