News Leaked Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU sample delivers double-digit multicore performance boost — no advantage seen in single-core testing, though

I think the E-cores are doing the heavy lifting here. Claimed +38%/68% average IPC depending on the workload, and they already didn't have hyperthreading. So 8x Skymont could be similar to 12x Gracemont.

Together with the laptop results so far, Intel looks like it has a good offering this generation.
The desktop iGPU should have up to 4 Xe (64 EUs), probably double the performance of previous generation. Maybe identical to Meteor Lake-U. And it gets some form of NPU. Nice when it gets to cheap OEM systems.

Given that the clockspeeds were a bit low this seems like a good result for anyone looking at the mid range.

If the leaks are accurate Intel is keeping a single E-core boost clock for all K SKUs which means they also have a 15% clockspeed increase over the existing i5s.

The only thing I find disappointing about the use of the MTL graphics tile is that there are no XMX units. The biggest real world impact there being the lower quality upscaling.

Testing here the Raptor lake refresh... from 35-54w range has 99% of performance of the cpu. the max turbo boost operation at 92w gives 1% on score. maybe some avx2 applications use that power.

that 125w is to catch the AMD on multi side.

Those Medium Cpus have same performance than Server/workstation cpus years ago...
