The Intel Core Ultra X7 358H has demonstrated significant improvements in its performance metrics, now outperforming its direct predecessor. Recent benchmarks indicate that this chip is on the rise, leaving behind earlier scores that left much to be desired.
Intel Core Ultra X7 358H Achieves a Multi-Core PassMark Score of 32, 003, Surpassing the Core Ultra 7 255H
After making its debut on PassMark just a few days ago, the Core Ultra X7 358H had modest initial results, attributed to the limited data from only two tested samples. However, the recent addition of another early engineering sample has resulted in a remarkable leap in performance ratings. This new data reveals that the 358H has not only begun to close the performance gap with the 255H but has also managed to surpass it in certain aspects.
Despite these improvements, it’s worth noting that the Core Ultra X7 358H still shows some performance weaknesses. In single-core tests, it underperformed against the Core Ultra 7 255H by 1.4%, while it was only 4% faster in multi-core benchmarks. As more samples are tested, we anticipate that these results will stabilize and possibly enhance further. Additionally, the turbo speed of 4.8 GHz has been validated; however, the details regarding the base clock speed remain undisclosed at this time.
When comparing trends within generations, the performance uplift from the Core Ultra 7 155H to 255H was significant, with the latter providing an almost 20% boost in multi-threaded tasks and a similar increase in single-core capabilities, even with hyperthreading on the 155H. Currently, it remains uncertain how much additional testing will influence the scores of the Core Ultra X7 series; however, the preliminary performance of the Panther Lake family isn’t receiving rave reviews thus far.
Although the Core Ultra X7 358H maintains a 16-core, 16-thread configuration similar to the 255H, its core architecture varies. It boasts two fewer P-cores while integrating two additional LP-E cores. This shift may account for the more modest performance gains observed with this generation. Intel has outlined that Panther Lake models are designed to consume less power compared to the Arrow Lake-H series, achieving parity in multi-threaded performance.
In terms of integrated graphics, early benchmarks suggest that the X7 358H’s graphics capabilities outstrip those of the Xe2-based iGPU found in the Arrow Lake-H, a trend that may bode well for users prioritizing graphical performance alongside processing power.
