Intel Core Ultra X7 358H vs Intel Processor U302L Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark database shows a complete picture for the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, with 17 recorded benchmark results across Cinebench and Passmark test suites. The Intel Processor U302L has no recorded benchmark results in the database, which means its average benchmark score is listed as 0 and it holds a 50th percentile position among all CPUs. The Core Ultra X7 358H, by contrast, sits at the 87th percentile with an average benchmark score of 40967.

Because the U302L lacks any measured scores, the wins are entirely one-sided in the recorded data. The Core Ultra X7 358H delivers 3027 points in Cinebench R15 multicore, 301.5 points in Cinebench R15 singlecore, 12011 points in Cinebench R20 multicore, and 1695 points in Cinebench R20 singlecore. The Cinebench R23 runs produce 18747 points multicore and 2080 points singlecore. Passmark results include 332508 in data compression, 26046 in data encryption, 27274 in extended instructions, 337 in find prime numbers, 103842 in floating point math, 83147 in integer math, 33802 in multithread, 3021 in physics, 40357 in random string sorting, and 4124 in single thread.

The use-case split from the data is straightforward: any workload that relies on multicore throughput, single-thread responsiveness, encryption, compression, or mathematical computation falls to the Core Ultra X7 358H. The U302L's absence from the benchmark suite means the database cannot assign it any wins. The Core Ultra X7 358H's nearest rivals in the database are the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 with an average score of 41208 and a delta of -0.6%, the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H at 41215 with -0.6%, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G at 40718 with +0.6%, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H at 41263 with -0.7%. These deltas place the X7 358H within a narrow band of performance around 40700 to 41300 average score, with the 358H effectively matching its closest competitors.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural generations. The Intel Core Ultra X7 358H uses the Panther Lake codename, belongs to the Ultra X7 (Panther Lake-H) generation, and is built on a 3 nm process node at Intel's foundry. The Intel Processor U302L uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename, belongs to the Intel Processor (Raptor Lake) generation, and is built on a 10 nm process node, also at Intel.

Core counts differ substantially. The Core Ultra X7 358H has 16 cores and 16 threads, while the U302L has 5 cores and 6 threads. The X7 358H runs a base clock of 1.90 GHz with a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The U302L runs a 1.20 GHz base clock and a 2.40 GHz boost clock. Thermal design power differs as well: the X7 358H is rated at 25 watts, while the U302L is rated at 15 watts.

Cache hierarchies are distinct. The X7 358H carries 192 KB of L1 per core, 3 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The U302L carries 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 10 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support differs: the X7 358H supports LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus with a recorded memory bandwidth of 153.6 GB/s, while the U302L supports DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus with no memory bandwidth figure recorded in the database. Neither processor supports ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs. The X7 358H offers PCIe Gen 5 with 4 lanes (CPU only), while the U302L offers PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: the X7 358H uses Arc B390 graphics, while the U302L uses UHD Graphics 80EU. Both are mobile market segment parts with active production status. The X7 358H was released on January 4, 2026, while the U302L was released on April 7, 2024. Both have locked multipliers. The X7 358H uses Intel BGA 2540 socket, while the U302L uses Intel Socket 1700. Part numbers are SA4RAQ9ET for the X7 358H and SRPKGQ5CX for the U302L.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table in the database is empty, and the wins counters for both processors are 0. This means no direct paired measurements exist between the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H and the Intel Processor U302L. The U302L has no benchmark entries at all, so no direct comparison scores can be cited.

What the data does permit is a comparison of the X7 358H against its recorded nearest rivals. In Cinebench R23 multicore, the X7 358H scores 18747 points. Its average benchmark score of 40967 places it 0.6% below the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 (41208 average), 0.6% below the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (41215), 0.6% above the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G (40718), and 0.7% below the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H (41263). These deltas are all within roughly one percentage point, indicating the X7 358H sits in a tightly packed performance cluster.

The single-core results for the X7 358H show 2080 points in Cinebench R23 singlecore, 1695 in Cinebench R20 singlecore, and 301.5 in Cinebench R15 singlecore. Passmark single-thread scoring records 4124 points. The multicore Passmark result is 33802, and the physics test yields 3021 points. Data compression scores 332508, while data encryption scores 26046. Extended instructions score 27274, find prime numbers score 337, floating point math scores 103842, integer math scores 83147, and random string sorting scores 40357.

Because the U302L has no recorded measurements, the database cannot quantify any performance gap between the two processors. The specification differences, however, are large: 16 cores versus 5 cores, 16 threads versus 6 threads, 4.80 GHz boost versus 2.40 GHz boost, 18 MB L3 versus 10 MB L3, and a 3 nm process versus a 10 nm process. These recorded specifications strongly indicate the X7 358H holds a significant advantage, but the benchmark database itself only confirms that advantage indirectly through the X7 358H's percentile and average score relative to all CPUs.

The X7 358H's 87th percentile ranking against all CPUs, combined with an average benchmark score of 40967, provides a reference point. The U302L's 50th percentile ranking with a 0 average benchmark score reflects the absence of measured data rather than a measured performance level. The database treats the U302L as unmeasured, so any performance inference must come from the specification fields alone.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to a clear selection rule. The Intel Core Ultra X7 358H is the only one of the two with any benchmark results, and those results place it at the 87th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database, all scoring within 0.7% of its average, confirm that it competes at a level around 41000 average benchmark score. The 16-core, 16-thread configuration with a 4.80 GHz boost clock and 18 MB of shared L3 cache gives it the resources for both multicore and single-thread workloads.

The Intel Processor U302L, with no benchmark scores recorded, cannot be positioned against the X7 358H in measured terms. Its specifications show 5 cores, 6 threads, a 2.40 GHz boost clock, and 10 MB of shared L3 cache. The 15-watt TDP and support for DDR4 and DDR5 memory indicate a lower-power design, but the database contains no measurements to confirm how that translates into performance.

For users selecting based on the database, the X7 358H is the processor with verified performance data across Cinebench and Passmark suites. The U302L's lack of recorded benchmarks means the database offers no measured evidence of its capabilities. The X7 358H's percentile rank of 87 versus the U302L's rank of 50 summarizes the situation: one processor has demonstrated performance in the upper range of all CPUs, while the other has no demonstrated performance data at all. The X7 358H also holds the advantage in every recorded specification field: more cores, more threads, higher clocks, larger cache, newer process node, and higher memory bandwidth. The U302L's only advantages in the recorded data are a lower TDP (15 watts versus 25 watts), a different socket (Intel Socket 1700 versus Intel BGA 2540), and a launch MSRP of $285, which the database lists once.
