Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H wins in every measured category because the Core 5 130UL has no recorded benchmark data. The 16-core configuration with 16 threads gives it a structural advantage in multi-threaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23991 demonstrates strong parallel scaling. The PassMark multi-thread score of 28545 reinforces this.

For single-threaded tasks, the Core Ultra 5 336H records a PassMark single-thread score of 4013 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3387. Its 4.60 GHz boost clock, while slightly lower than the Core 5 130UL's 4.70 GHz, does not prevent it from achieving competitive single-core results. The 3 nm process and larger cache likely contribute to these outcomes.

In memory-intensive operations, the Core Ultra 5 336H shows strength. The PassMark data compression score of 280340 and random string sorting score of 34402 indicate efficient memory handling. Its 115.2 GB/s memory bandwidth and LPDDR5X support provide a wider data path.

Encryption and extended instruction workloads favor the Core Ultra 5 336H as well. The PassMark data encryption score of 21291 and extended instructions score of 24542 show capability in specialized compute tasks. The integer math score of 62070 and floating-point math score of 82415 cover general arithmetic workloads.

The Core 5 130UL has no recorded wins in any benchmark category. Its advantages are structural rather than measured: a desktop socket, lower 15 W TDP, and DDR4 compatibility. For users constrained to Intel Socket 1700 platforms, the Core 5 130UL fits that form factor. For users needing high compute throughput in a mobile package, the Core Ultra 5 336H is the only option with validated performance data.

The nearest rival comparison shows the Core Ultra 5 336H holding its own against more established parts. At 0.2 percent below the Core i7-13700HX and 0.4 percent above the Core i5-13450HX, it occupies a competitive position. The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen AI 7 350 trail by less than one percent, indicating that the Core Ultra 5 336H sits in a dense performance cluster where small margins separate top contenders.
