Intel's Core Ultra 7 255HX is benchmarked in Geekbench AI tests, revealing the specifications of this upcoming Arrow Lake-HX high-end CPU.

Intel is about to bring its high-performance Arrow Lake CPUs to the mobile platform, and just like the desktop, there will be several SKUs in the Core Ultra 200HX series. Yesterday, we saw the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX on Geekbench, and today, we got a glimpse of the Core Ultra 7 255HX. The latter is slower but still belongs in the high-end category based on the specs.
Similar to the previous leak, this one also doesn't show the 255HX's prowess; instead, we see the GPU getting benchmarked. This is important as well because it's not just any GPU but one of the upcoming RTX 50 series laptop GPUs, expected to launch at the same time as NVIDIA unveils its desktop Blackwell gaming GPU lineup.
The laptop is the ONNX Clevo X580, which was benchmarked in Geekbench AI tests and showed the performance of an "unnamed" NVIDIA RTX 50 laptop GPU in Single Precision and Half Precision tests. While the results may not seem that impressive, one should understand that these are pretty unrelated to the gaming capabilities of the graphics card.
The single precision score of up to 6500 points and a half-precision score of up to 15760 points indicate a budget GPU like the RTX 5050, but this is just our speculation, as the GPU model doesn't show up with its real name, but only with "NVIDIA Graphics Device". No GPU specs were revealed on the page, but we did see the specs of the Core Ultra 7 255HX.
Intel's Core Ultra 7 255HX is a 20-core chip with 8 performance and 12 efficient cores and a base clock of 2.50 GHz. The CPU is expected to feature up to 5.2 GHz of max boost clock on the P-cores and up to 4.5 GHz on the E-cores. Except for the base clock and core clusters, we didn't get to see the L3 cache memory or the iGPU information.
The Core Ultra 7 255HX is reportedly bringing 64 EUs for its Xe-LPG-based iGPU with a 1.9 GHz clock. There will be one more Core Ultra 7 series chip in the lineup, namely '265HX', which will boast faster clock speeds. Then there are the Core Ultra 9 275HX and 285HX with 24-core configuration and up to 5.5 GHz on the latter model. On the lower-end side, there will be two SKUs, namely the Core Ultra 5 245HX and 235HX, with 14 cores and clock speeds of up to 5.1 GHz.
