This large L3 pool is specifically designed to reduce memory latency in gaming workloads, which is reflected in the CPU's benchmark profile.

In single-threaded workloads, the CPU scores 959 in 3dmark_single_thread, 281.5 in Cinebench R15 single-core, 1713 in Cinebench R23 single-core, and 2426 in Geekbench single-core. These scores indicate strong per-core performance, though not class-leading. The 3dmark_2_threads score of 1887 shows that light-threaded tasks benefit from the high boost clock. Moving to multi-threaded results, the 3dmark_16_threads score of 7980 and 3dmark_max_threads score of 7967 are nearly identical, which is expected for an 8-core/16-thread chip. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16817 and Geekbench multicore score of 15610 demonstrate solid all-core throughput.

The PassMark suite reveals more specific workload characteristics. The integer math score of 103,639 and floating point math score of 61,187 show strong arithmetic capability. Data compression scores 384,669, while data encryption scores 22,346 — the latter being relatively modest, suggesting encryption tasks are not the primary strength. Extended instructions score 29,166, and the physics score of 3,522 indicates good simulation performance. The multithread score of 34,293 and single-thread score of 3,759 confirm the balance between single-core and multi-core performance. The average benchmark score of 33,079 places this CPU in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, with nearest rivals including the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G and Intel Core i7-13650HX, both scoring 33,089 with a 0% delta, and the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H scoring 33,201 with a -0.4% delta.
