Intel Core Ultra 7 268V “Lunar Lake” performs even better in new leaked CPU and GPU benchmarks

Shortly before their launch in September, Intel's Lunar Lake CPUs such as the Core Ultra 7 268V have appeared in new leaks.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 268V CPU will be the second fastest chip within the Lunar Lake “Core Ultra 200V” family, which consists of nine different SKUs, all of which have similar core configurations for the CPU, but slight differences in GPU configurations and on-package memory.

Let's start with the specifications: The Intel Core Ultra 7 268V “Lunar Lake” CPU features 8 cores (4P+4E), 8 threads, 12MB L3 cache, a base clock speed of 3.30GHz, up to 5.0GHz boost, and 32GB of on-package LPDDR5X-8533 memory. The chip will feature an Arc 140V iGPU with up to 8 Xe2 cores running at 2.0GHz, and the chip's TDP will be configured at 17W PL1 and 30W PL2.

The CPU was tested again on Geekbench 6, where it now scores 2915 points in the single-core and 11,448 points in the multi-core test. The test was performed on a Khadas Mind MakerKit platform, a compact AI workstation and development kit with active cooling. The current Mind platform features Intel Meteor Lake CPUs, so it looks like the company will incorporate Lunar Lake for its upcoming AI platforms. Intel will also release its own Lunar Lake DevKit next month.

As you can see from the benchmarks above, the Intel Core Ultra 7 268V “Lunar Lake” CPU achieves a 7.4% single-core and 14.0% multi-core performance increase compared to the previous scores, which is a big improvement. The chip still fluctuated between 4.6 and 5.0 GHz, so there is still room for improvement for the final retail products.

As for graphics performance, the same chip scored 29,316 points, putting it on par with the Arc A370M and Arc A310 graphics cards. The GPU was tested in OpenCL, which isn't necessarily a strong point of Intel's Arc drivers, but we may see improvements once the Xe2 GPU is tested in the Vulkan API.
