Intel's Core Ultra 7 366H just showed up on Geekbench with four Xe3 graphics cores that basically match the old GTX 1050 Ti mobile, beating AMD's Radeon 840M by about 26 percent but getting destroyed by the Radeon 860M. The chip runs 16 cores total with four performance units, eight efficient cores, and four low-power cores, plus it can supposedly hit 4.8 GHz even though Geekbench only caught the 2 GHz base clock.
The gimped graphics setup makes sense since this variant targets budget laptops and can't hang with AMD's stronger integrated options on higher-end chips. Panther Lake models with 10 or 12 GPU cores already perform like the RTX 3050, but those beefier versions will cost way more than mainstream SKUs, where AMD's Krackan Point chips still dominate.
