Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus "Arrow Lake" CPU Performance Leaked From Benchmarks
A new benchmark has surfaced on the Geekbench database for what appears to be Intel's next-generation mobile processor, Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus. The test was performed on an Acer Predator PHN18-I71 laptop, giving the processor a very impressive single-core and multi-core performance score.
The Benchmark Scores
The processor was tested on Geekbench 6.5.0 for Windows, and these scores spell out a rather decent mobile chip:
- Single-Core Score: 3198
- Multi-Core Score: 21581
Processor and System Description
The benchmark entry provides some specifications of the processor for the tested machine:
- CPU Name: Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus
- Codename: Arrow Lake
- Core Configuration: 24 Cores (split into 2 clusters, with 8 and 16 cores)
- Maximum Frequency: 5386 MHz (5.39 GHz)
- Base Frequency: 2.70 GHz
- L3 Cache: 36.0 MB
- Test System: Acer Predator PHN18-I71
