Intel’s Panther Lake family is still awaiting release, but the possible flagship chip of the bunch has been spotted on Geekbench. The Core Ultra X9 388H scores 3,057 points in the single-core test and 17,687 points in the multi-core test, racing past its Arrow Lake-H predecessor and AMD’s Strix Halo.



Geekbench is pretty useless for non mobile chips. Intel basically found the Apple cheat where smt is no longer a thing so you boost 1t but if you were to run a 2t workload you’d see a 30% penalty vs smt/HT
