This database profile covers the Intel Core Ultra 5 338H and Intel Arc A570M as a laptop-class pairing. The CPU is a 12-thread Panther Lake mobile processor with an 84th percentile score among all CPUs, while the GPU is an 8 GB Xe-HPG part with an 88th percentile score among all GPUs. Together the pair lands at the 86th combined percentile.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core Ultra 5 338H is a 12-core, 12-thread processor built on Panther Lake and Intel’s 3 nm process. Base clock is 1.90 GHz, boost clock is 4.70 GHz, and the CPU TDP is rated at 25 W. The cache layout is 192 KB L1 per core, 2.5 MB L2 per core, and 18 MB L3 shared. Memory support is LPDDR5X over a dual-channel interface with 136.5 GB/s of bandwidth, and ECC memory is not supported. The socket is Intel BGA 2540, the market segment is mobile, and the CPU’s PCIe is Gen 5 with 4 lanes available from the CPU itself.

The 338H is branded as a Core Ultra 5 part and is listed in the Core Ultra Series 3 series, with the generation field recorded as Ultra 5 (Panther Lake-H). It also integrates Arc B370 graphics. The release date is 2026-01-04, and production status is Active. Cinebench scores show a clear split between multicore throughput and single-core responsiveness: Cinebench R23 multicore is 16331, single-core 2044, Cinebench R20 multicore is 10213, single-core 1441, and Cinebench R15 multicore is 2504, single-core 305.

Passmark results broaden the picture. Integer math scores 64934, floating point math scores 84067, extended instructions score 23906, data encryption scores 21367, and data compression scores 276539. Random string sorting scores 34082, physics scores 2697, find prime numbers scores 304, multithreaded Passmark scores 28717, and single-thread Passmark scores 4180. The compression result is far stronger than the encryption result, which suggests the part is especially capable on memory-friendly, bandwidth-heavy data work. The floating point score is also higher than integer math, indicating strong throughput for scientific and rendering-style calculations.

The average CPU benchmark score is 33989, placing the 338H at the 84th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival cluster is extremely tight. The Intel Core Ultra 7 165H scores 34083, a delta of -0.3, meaning the 338H trails that part by 0.3%. The Intel Core i7-12800HX scores 33875, a delta of +0.3, so the 338H is 0.3% ahead. The Intel Xeon 6353P scores 33844, a delta of +0.4, and the AMD EPYC 4244P scores 34220, a delta of -0.7. In short, the 338H sits in the middle of a four-way pack separated by less than one percent.

Gaming Performance

The FACT PACK contains no measuredFpsUltraByGame rows for this exact combination. The dataIsMeasured field is false, and pairRankByFps is null, so there are no measured FPS values by game or resolution to report. All FPS discussion on this page is an estimate derived from CPU and GPU benchmark scores rather than from actual frame captures.

The GPU side is anchored by a Geekbench OpenCL score of 58239, which puts the Intel Arc A570M at the 88th percentile of all GPUs. The CPU’s single-thread Passmark score of 4180 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2044 indicate that the 338H has enough single-thread strength to keep a CPU-bound game from becoming the obvious bottleneck in many scenarios. The Arc A570M adds 16 ray tracing cores and 64 ROPs, so hardware-accelerated ray tracing is part of the feature set, though no measured ray-traced frame rates exist in the pack.

The GPU has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 224.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth and FP32 throughput of 5.325 TFLOPS. That memory capacity is a meaningful asset for modern texture-heavy games. However, because there are no measured FPS rows, the exact frame-rate expectations cannot be quantified here; the data only supports a broad estimate that the Arc A570M is a high-percentile mobile GPU, clustered within 0.7% of its four nearest rivals.

Benchmark Performance

The Intel Core Ultra 5 338H reaches an average benchmark score of 33989 and the 84th percentile among all CPUs. The Intel Arc A570M records an average benchmark score of 58239 and the 88th percentile among all GPUs. The combined percentile for this CPU-GPU pairing is 86.

The CPU’s exact benchmark set is:

| Benchmark | Score |

|---|---|

| Cinebench R15 multicore | 2504 |

| Cinebench R15 single-core | 305 |

| Cinebench R20 multicore | 10213 |

| Cinebench R20 single-core | 1441 |

| Cinebench R23 multicore | 16331 |

| Cinebench R23 single-core | 2044 |

| Passmark data compression | 276539 |

| Passmark data encryption | 21367 |

| Passmark extended instructions | 23906 |

| Passmark find prime numbers | 304 |

| Passmark floating point math | 84067 |

| Passmark integer math | 64934 |

| Passmark multithread | 28717 |

| Passmark physics | 2697 |

| Passmark random string sorting | 34082 |

| Passmark single-thread | 4180 |

The GPU’s only listed benchmark in this pack is Geekbench OpenCL at 58239. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT at 58392 with a delta of -0.3, the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM at 58085 with a delta of +0.3, the NVIDIA P102-100 at 58528 with a delta of -0.5, and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 at 58657 with a delta of -0.7.

The combined picture is a balanced laptop platform with both components above the 84th percentile and within a very narrow score band of their direct rivals. The CPU is not a statistical outlier in either direction; it trades places with its nearest rivals within fractional percentages. The GPU is similarly tightly clustered. This means the pairing’s overall tier is defined more by the quality of both components than by one dominant half.

Who Should Build It

This is a laptop pairing for users who need a 12-thread mobile CPU plus an 8 GB-class discrete GPU in a single BGA 2540 mobile platform. Content creators can lean on the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16331 and the Passmark multithread score of 28717 for rendering work, while the very strong data compression score of 276539 makes the platform useful for file-heavy, compression-heavy workflows.

Software developers benefit from the extended instructions score of 23906, the integer math score of 64934, and the encryption score of 21367. Students and portable users get a 25 W CPU TDP and a 75 W GPU TDP, which fits a laptop-class power envelope. Small business workstations that run single-thread-dependent applications can rely on the Passmark single-thread score of 4180 and the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2044.

For gamers, the Arc A570M’s 88th percentile and 16 RT cores make this a plausible mobile gaming GPU, but the lack of measured FPS data means expectations should be based on the GPU’s benchmark standing and 8 GB memory buffer rather than a confirmed resolution-specific frame-rate figure.

Balance and Bottleneck

Since there are no measured FPS rows, bottleneck analysis cannot rely on frame-rate scaling across games. Instead, the data supports a percentile-based comparison. The CPU is at the 84th percentile, the GPU is at the 88th percentile, and the combined pairing is at the 86th percentile. The GPU is the stronger component in this specific benchmark set by 4 percentile points.

In OpenCL-style compute workloads, the Arc A570M should be the leading contributor: its Geekbench OpenCL score of 58239 is an 88th-percentile result, and its FP32 throughput is 5.325 TFLOPS. In CPU-bound workloads, the 338H’s 12 threads and 4.70 GHz boost clock define the performance ceiling. The large gap between Passmark multithread 28717 and single-thread 4180 shows that the CPU has substantial multicore scaling, but workloads that only use one or two threads will depend entirely on that 4180 single-thread score.

The GPU’s 8 GB GDDR6 buffer is a hard capacity point for texture-heavy gaming scenarios. A workload that exceeds 8 GB would hit the memory limit before the GPU’s 128 TMUs and 64 ROPs are fully saturated. Because the GPU’s nearest rivals are all within 0.7%, the A570M is unlikely to radically outperform or underperform its peers; instead, the balance between CPU and GPU will be workload-dependent, with no measured frame data to separate them further.

GPU Analysis

The Intel Arc A570M is built on the DG2-256 chip with the Xe-HPG architecture and is listed in the Alchemist generation for Arc 5 Mobile. The process node is 6 nm at TSMC, with 11,500 million transistors on a 269 mm² die, for a density of 42.8M / mm². Base clock is 900 MHz and boost clock is 1300 MHz. Memory runs at 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective speed, connected over a 128-bit bus, and total bandwidth is 224.0 GB/s.

The GPU has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. It also has 16 ray tracing cores, while the tensor core count is not recorded in the pack. Pixel rate is 83.20 GPixel/s, texture rate is 166.4 GTexel/s, FP32 compute is 5.325 TFLOPS, and FP16 compute is 10.65 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio. TDP is 75 W. Slot width is listed as IGP, and display outputs are portable-device dependent. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x8.

The GPU’s single benchmark is Geekbench OpenCL at 58239, good for the 88th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rival cluster is extremely tight: the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT scores 58392, the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM scores 58085, the NVIDIA P102-100 scores 58528, and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58657. The A570M is 0.3% behind the RX 6950 XT, 0.3% ahead of the RX 5600 OEM, 0.5% behind the P102-100, and 0.7% behind the Radeon PRO V710.

For rendering workloads, this is a GPU with strong OpenCL compute, 8 GB of memory, and a modern API feature set. The 16 RT cores provide dedicated ray tracing hardware, while DirectX 12 Ultimate support gives it the feature flags expected of a current DirectX 12_2 part. The combination of 128-bit memory bus and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth is the likely ceiling for memory-heavy tasks, but the raw shading and texture rates are substantial for a 75 W mobile part.

Build Overview

This is a laptop-class build, with buildClass recorded as laptop. It pairs an Intel Core Ultra 5 338H with an Intel Arc A570M. The CPU is at the 84th percentile of all CPUs, the GPU is at the 88th percentile of all GPUs, and the combined percentile is 86.

The CPU integrates Arc B370 graphics alongside the discrete Arc A570M, so the platform has both an integrated and a discrete Intel graphics path. The GPU is listed with IGP slot width, and display output capability is portable-device dependent. Both components are marked Active in production status. The overall tier is high: both parts sit at or above the 84th percentile, and the combined ranking is 86th.

In performance terms, this is a cohesive Intel-only pairing on a mobile BGA 2540 socket. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 33989 and the GPU’s average benchmark score of 58239 put the pair in a narrow performance band where the closest rivals are separated by less than one percent. The result is a balanced laptop-class build rather than one with a dominant CPU or GPU outlier.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The platform is built around the Intel BGA 2540 socket, which means the CPU is tied to the laptop-class mobile design. Memory support is LPDDR5X on a dual-channel interface with 136.5 GB/s of bandwidth, and ECC is not supported. The CPU’s PCIe is Gen 5 with 4 CPU lanes, while the discrete Arc A570M connects through PCIe 4.0 x8.

The pack lists no suggested PSU for the GPU, so there is no PSU recommendation to report. The CPU TDP is 25 W and the GPU TDP is 75 W, indicating a relatively modest combined power envelope, though the pack does not list a combined system power figure. The CPU multiplier is locked, so overclocking is not part of the upgrade path.

For a sensible next upgrade, the nearest CPU rivals are all within 0.7% of the 338H, which means none of them represents a meaningful step up. A CPU upgrade that would matter would need to exceed the 84th percentile by a wider margin than the current nearest-rival band. Likewise, the GPU’s nearest rivals are within 0.7%, so a meaningful GPU upgrade would require a component that moves beyond the 88th percentile and ideally beyond the 8 GB VRAM capacity, since the memory frame buffer is the clearest physical limit in the current data.
