Intel Bartlett Lake flexes with fewer cores, beating i5s

Intel just proved all-Performance core chips still absolutely slap for heavy workloads. Fresh benchmarks for Bartlett Lake processors surfaced, showing the Core 7 253PE beating previous generation hybrid models. A user named @x86deadandback found a PassMark entry where this ten-core unit scored 31,802 points on multi-threaded tests. That number sits almost twenty percent higher than the Core i5 14400 and edges out the fourteen-core i5 14500.

These embedded market CPUs fit standard LGA 1700 sockets but require SO-DIMM memory. While Team Blue already shipped low-power E and TE versions, enthusiasts have waited ages for these P-core heavyweights. The lineup supposedly tops out at twelve cores. This specific sample relies entirely on ten performance cores rather than mixing in efficient ones like Raptor Lake Refresh parts.

Single-thread performance looked somewhat average at 3647 points. However, only a single sample exists currently. Cache configurations also differ from consumer equivalents. The 253PE matches the Core i7 14700 in L3 memory but falls short on L2 capacity. It seems weird that such interesting hardware targets industrial clients when gamers would probably love a pure performance chip.
