Out of the total cores, 10 are categorized as "efficient cores," with the remainder, six, termed as "performance cores" and equipped with Hyperthreading, leading to the aggregate thread count. Additional insights from the benchmark elucidate a base clock speed of 3.8 GHz. However, details about the boost clock remain unspecified. The cache setup is detailed as L1: 960 KB, L2: 18.0 MB, and L3: 24 MB.
When evaluating the benchmark metrics, the Core Ultra 7 155H registered an aggregate PassMark score of 21,359. As a representative of the new Core Ultra 7 H series, drawing comparisons with a recent Core i7 H-series CPU, namely the Core i7-13700H, provides context. The single-core result showcases a near 6% generational progression, though the prospective yield with the integration of refined software and BIOS support might surpass this. In the context of generational enhancements, a 6% surge is perceived as moderate. Intel's CEO, Pat Gelsinger, has previously referred to Meteor Lake positioning itself as a successor to the "Centrino Moment."
When juxtaposed with the Core i7-13700H's score of 28,440 (with 20 threads), the 22-threaded Core Ultra 7 155H's score seems relatively underwhelming. A critical note here is that the PassMark evaluation doesn't confirm some essential parameters like the TDP or the specific GPU type and its associated driver for the Meteor Lake chip.
