A new leak from the Geekbench database reveals a Core Ultra 5 236V. This next-generation processor scores below expectations, but the test conditions are not known either!
Core Ultra 5 236V: first Geekbench scores!
With this processor, we have a reference in the Luna Lake series. We’re talking about a chip described as “entry-level”, with just 8 cores. Of course, we’re talking about a hybrid configuration featuring 4 performance cores coupled with 4 efficient cores. However, there will be no hyperthreading here.
As far as frequencies are concerned, the benchmark presents the chip as operating at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz. The maximum frequency recorded by the software is 4.675 MHz. Finally, the chip has 8 MB of L3 cache and 2.5 MB of L2 cache.
However, as Guru3D points out, this benchmark gives a small indication of the chip’s memory configuration. As you know, with Lunar Lake, RAM will be integrated directly into the CPU package. For example, this CPU, whose reference number ends with a “6”, has 16 GB of RAM, whereas a model ending with an “8” has 32 GB of memory.
In terms of scores, GeekBench shows 2021 pts for single-core against 5743 pts for multi-core. Clearly, the latter are below what similar CPUs of the same generation can achieve. However, apart from the fact that the processor is mounted in a Lenovo machine, we don’t know much about the test conditions, which may have an impact on performance!
