Intel Core Ultra 9 185H specs revealed through benchmark

We finally have the first public listing of an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU. While there have been multiple leaks of the “Meteor Lake” Core Ultra 7 and 5 CPUs, this is the first instance of a Core 9 SKU appearing before the planned December 14th debut. The listing was spotted on the Geekbench 5 database.

The listing shared by Benchleaks reveals that the Core Ultra 9 185H model will have 16 cores and 22 threads, with a base clock speed of 2.5GHz and a boost clock speed of up to 5.1GHz. These findings corroborate prior assumptions made immediately after Intel revealed its upcoming Core CPU naming change. Unfortunately, the platform used for the CPU test is not disclosed, so it's unclear if the test was done on an early evaluation platform or a forthcoming laptop.

The outdated Geekbench V5.4 was used for the test, so consider that when comparing the scores. With single-core scores ranging from 1773 to 1849 and multi-core scores ranging from 9787 to 9832, it falls short of both high-end AMD and Intel CPUs. To put it in perspective, the single-core performance of the Core Ultra 9 185H is similar to that of the Core i9-12900H.

In addition, Benchleaks also shared a listing of the Core Ultra 5 135H, marking its debut appearance. In comparison to the 185H, the 135H has 14 cores and 18 threads and a boost clock speed of about 4.4GHz. As expected, the single-core scores of this chip are considerably lower compared to the Core Ultra 9, ranging between 1120 and 1144 points. However, multi-core performance isn't that far off, scoring from 9502 to 9587 points in the test.
