Intel’s Arrow Lake-HX family is an enthusiast-grade series for high-performance laptops. This family, despite lacking hyper-threading, outperforms its predecessors in both multi-threaded and single-threaded tests. One budget SKU in the lineup has shown impressive results in synthetic benchmarks, particularly in PassMark.
The Core Ultra 5 235HX is benchmarked at PassMark for the first time, showing a 14-core design with turbo clock speeds up to 4.5 GHz (P-Core) and 5.1 GHz (E-Core). It has the same base TDP of 55W as its predecessor, the Core i5 14500HX, but can reach higher turbo power of 160W.
In PassMark tests, the Ultra 5 235HX scored 4,708 points in single-core and 40,122 points in multi-core, marking a significant improvement over the Core i5 14500HX. This is a 30% increase in single-core performance and 38% in multi-core.
Compared to other processors:
– It outperformed the Core i7 14700HX by about 18% in single-core and 7% in multi-core.
– It beat the Core i9 14900HX in single-core performance by around 11%, with a 11% disadvantage in multi-threaded tests.
Interestingly, the Ultra 5 235HX even surpassed the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Ryzen 9 9955HX3D in single-core performance, though the difference was only 6%.
In summary, the Core Ultra 5 235HX is now on par with flagship SKUs like the Ultra 9 275HX in single-core performance. While gaming performance depends on multiple factors and AMD’s 9000 series X3D chips remain superior, the raw performance of the Ultra 200HX looks promising for mobile productivity.
