The release of several past generations of Intel processors had one common denominator. The best of the “leaked” results that appeared online prior to their release (availability) reached a level that no independent review could achieve. This did not only apply to desktop processors, but also to mobile models, where the differences were even more pronounced. The performance limit of processors for notebooks is in most cases the limited performance of a small mobile cooler. In the laboratory, it is therefore no problem to turn off the power limit, put a desktop cube on top of the processor and achieve performance that users of real laptops can only dream about.

It seems that neither Meteor Lake it is no different. Although Intel presented the new generation of processors at Innovation 2023 as a 28W product that can be switched to an even more economical 10W mode, although o Meteor Lake talked about as a two-fold improvement in power efficiency, the MLID channel discovered that the recently leaked performance result from CineBench R20 was actually measured on a 100W configuration equipped with a desktop cooler.

At the same time, the score of over 7300 points in CineBench R20 (against the previous results) finally seemed like at least some progress compared to the current generation of Intel and AMD. APU Phoenix (Ryzen 7 7840HS) tested by the Notebookcheck editors in real notebooks achieves a median of 6531 points and a maximum of 6744 points in this test. Score Meteor Lake so it outperformed the most powerful laptop by at least 8% Phoenix. However, as it turns out, this was with 100W consumption and with a cooler that does not fit into any of the laptops. The measured performance thus corresponds to what can be expected from a possible desktop version with a 65W TDP.
Taking this context into account, it is very problematic to evaluate most of the available results, because we are not sure under what conditions they were all measured, and on the contrary, we know under what conditions some of them were measured. However, at least some of the following results should come from HP’s 14″ and 16″ notebooks, although we don’t know the power limit settings:

The overall performance graph includes all available known results Meteor Lake with the exception of those with noticeably low performance, which most certainly do not speak to the potential of the final platform. Tests carried out on HP sets show that higher performance is achieved in 16″ notebooks than in 14″ models. The tested samples are the Core Ultra 7 155H and Core Ultra 7 165H models. So far, the Core Ultra 7 185H is missing, whose maximum boost should be 100 MHz higher than that of the 165H (5.1 GHz versus 5.0 GHz).
graph-30
In single-core performance, Meteor Lake (due to lower boost) fares a little worse, basically it does not bring an intergenerational shift even against the Core i7-1360P. A symbolic two percent can still be achieved by the 100 MHz faster Core Ultra 7 185H.
