The evaluated system, which might serve as a whitebook test platform, yielded scores of 2439 and 12668 for single-threaded and multi-threaded tests respectively.
The "Intel Corporation Meteor Lake Client Platform" recently appeared in the Geekbench 6 results database. Benchleaks, a user on Twitter/X, identified this test run, which was conducted recently. This performance was attributed to the Intel Core Ultra 7 1002H processor. Geekbench's data indicates this processor has a 16-core, 22-thread configuration. The benchmarking software detected two core clusters: six cores in one and ten in the other. If the initial six cores are performance cores with Hyperthreading, this would be consistent with the 16C/22T configuration.
The Ultra 7 1002H processor was found to operate at a base and boost clock of 3.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz, respectively. Through Geekbench's user interface, a comparison was made between the Core Ultra 7 1002H and its potential predecessor, the Core i7-13700H, present in a Gigabyte Aero laptop. This comparison is tabled below for clarity:
| Intel Mobile CPU | Core Ultra 7 1002H | Core i7-13700H |
|---|---|---|
| Family | Meteor Lake H | Raptor Lake H |
| Core config | 16C / 22T | 14C / 20T |
| CPU clock | 1.7 / 4.8 GHz | 3.4 / 5.0 GHz |
| L2 / L3 Cache | 2 MB x2 / 24 MB | 1.25 MB x2 / 24 MB |
| GB6 1T score | 2439 | 2333 |
| GB6 nT score | 12668 | 13230 |
A noteworthy observation from the Meteor Lake laptop's system memory reading was its unconventional 11.69 GB RAM size. Details on the memory type, transfer rates, or configurations were absent. For reference, the Gigabyte Aero laptop had 16GB of DDR5-5200 memory in a multi-channel setup. A speculation arising from this is that the RAM detection discrepancy on the Meteor Lake platform could be due to a distinct feature, perhaps on-package LPDDR5X memory.
In terms of single-thread (1T) performance, the Intel Core Ultra 7 1002H surpassed the performance of the comparison Core i7-13700H laptop. However, the Geekbench database includes a range of Core i7-13700H laptops with both higher and lower 1T scores. Similarly, there are Core i7-13700H laptops in the database with both better and worse multi-threaded (nT) scores than the new MTL-H contender. Despite having more cores, the Meteor Lake chip demonstrated reduced performance in the nT tests.
In conclusion, it's crucial not to make overarching determinations based on this singular Core Ultra 7 1002H sample, especially since its outcomes mirror many RPL-H predecessors in the Geekbench database. Meteor Lake represents Intel's initial foray into chiplet-based technology for consumer CPUs. Intel's 14th Gen Core processors' bifurcation into Raptor Lake Refresh for desktops and Meteor Lake for laptops indicates some adjustments to Intel's original roadmap. Intel's Meteor Lake chips and laptops are set to be showcased at the Intel Innovation event from September 19 to 20, 2023, in San Jose, California.
