Intel Core Ultra 9 185H Appears with 16C/22T Configuration at 5.1 GHz

AleksandarK · Oct 17, 2023

Intel's upcoming Meteor Lake processor family will see the light of the day in mobile version only, with a big re-brand of the Intel Core i naming structure. Slated for a December 14th launch, we are eager to see the official performance figures. However, we are in for a treat today as we have some early performance figures thanks to Geekbench. According to the GB5 run found by BenchLeaks, Intel's Core Ultra 9 185H CPU has appeared to show its configuration, early performance, and boost frequency that is reaching beyond the 5.0 GHz mark.

As the GB5 run suggests, Core Ultra 9 185H is a 16-core CPU with 22 threads, running at 2.5 GHz base frequency. There are six P-cores, eight E-cores, and two SoC-cores on the package of this SKU. During boost, the CPU can reach up to 5.1 GHz and was paired with 64 GB of DDR5 memory. Interestingly, the CPU scored 1849 points in single-threaded tests and 9832 points in multi-threaded tests, which currently doesn't beat top-end Intel mobile HX SKU like i9-13980HX. However, we estimate this was an early engineering sample, and the final product will be more performant.

meh....

more incremental, mickey-mouse worthy adjustments here & there....gee thanks, Intel, I'm soooo impressed I could just fart all day

Gimme 1Thz base or gimme death, hehehehe

"Ultra 9" 185H with only 22 threads, compared to its predecessor i9-13980HX with 10 more... no wonder the former cannot beat the latter.

Also strengthens my belief that MTL is a test for a node shrink.

Not only node shrink. Also the new and fun packaging stuff.

13900HX is a desktop chip for BGA. There is no MTL-S for desktop, means no HX equivalent. The fastest native mobile chip (i9-13900H) from Raptor Lake features the same core count (not counting the LP E cores).

I don't think this should be reported as a 16-core CPU. Didn't they say the two SoC cores are not usable together with the other cores, they're only used when the compute tile is completely powered off?

I can't believe they are including the trash level low power E cores in the core count now and that the media are indulging them.

Seems Intel is stuck with core count again.
