Recently, Intel has achieved fresh advancements in the development of its upcoming next-gen processor, Panther Lake. Two models tailored for the mainstream entry-level segment—Core Ultra 5 335 and Core Ultra 5 325—have surfaced in the Geekbench benchmark database. In the Geekbench 5.5.1 test, the Core Ultra 5 335 notched up roughly 1924 points in single-core performance and around 9375 points in multi-core performance. Meanwhile, the Core Ultra 5 325 scored approximately 1946 points in single-core performance and about 9528 points in multi-core performance. These two processors boast maximum turbo frequencies of 4.5GHz (for the Ultra 5 335) and 4.4GHz (for the Ultra 5 325) respectively, and both come with a 12MB L3 cache capacity.

As the successor to Lunar Lake, Panther Lake leverages Intel's cutting-edge 18A process technology. It integrates Cougar Cove performance cores and Darkmont efficiency cores. What's more, some models are outfitted with low-power efficiency cores (LPE cores). Additionally, they incorporate the Arc Xe3 integrated graphics, codenamed 'Celestial,' which supports up to 12 Xe3 core units.
