The Intel Core Ultra 9 288V is a mobile processor built on the Lunar Lake architecture, manufactured on a 3 nm process at TSMC. It has 8 cores and 8 threads, which means no hyper-threading is present, and it runs at a base clock of 3.30 GHz with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The cache hierarchy includes 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 12 MB of L3 cache. The CPU’s TDP is rated at 30 W, indicating a power-efficient design suitable for thin-and-light laptops.

Benchmark results show a processor that excels in single-threaded tasks. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1950 is strong, and the Passmark single-thread score of 4274 reinforces this conclusion. For multi-threaded work, the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10178 is respectable, though it reflects the absence of multi-threading. The Passmark multithread score of 19810 and the Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 7069 provide a consistent picture of a CPU that handles moderate parallel workloads well, such as video encoding or software compilation.

In integer math, the Passmark score is 44019, while floating-point math reaches 59536, showing a slight bias toward floating-point operations. The data compression score of 186521 is particularly high, suggesting strong performance in archiving and data-heavy tasks. The CPU’s nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-11900F, has a nearly identical average score, but the 288V achieves this with a much lower TDP and a newer, more efficient architecture. The Passmark extended instructions score of 15613 indicates the CPU can handle modern instruction sets effectively, which is beneficial for scientific and financial workloads.

Usage Scenarios

For high-refresh gaming, the Radeon RX 7600M’s 89th percentile GPU ranking suggests it can drive a high-refresh display in many titles, though the lack of measured FPS means exact frame rates are estimates. The CPU’s single-core strength, evidenced by the 1950 Cinebench R23 single-core score, will prevent bottlenecks in most game engines.

Streaming is a mixed scenario. The CPU’s 8 cores and 8 threads can handle the encoding workload, but the Passmark multithread score of 19810 suggests it is not a top-tier encoder. The GPU’s RDNA 3.0 architecture with dedicated RT cores and 28 of them can assist with encoding, but the overall performance will be adequate rather than exceptional.

Video editing benefits from the strong CPU single-core performance and the GPU’s compute capabilities. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 63775 indicates the GPU can accelerate effects and rendering tasks. The FP32 performance of 17.27 TFLOPS will speed up previews and exports, making this a viable laptop for semi-professional editing.

3D rendering is a strong suit for this configuration. The GPU’s 17.27 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and the CPU’s Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 7069 provide a solid foundation for rendering in applications that support both GPU and CPU acceleration. The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory is sufficient for most scenes.

Software development workloads will see excellent performance. The Passmark single-thread score of 4274 ensures fast compilation of single-threaded build steps, while the data encryption score of 14141 and data compression score of 186521 are valuable for tasks like dependency management and repository operations. The 30 W TDP also means sustained performance without thermal throttling in a thin chassis.

For student and office work, this pairing is overkill but effective. The CPU’s efficiency and the GPU’s power will handle productivity suites, web browsing, and multitasking with ease. The single-core performance ensures snappy application launches, and the 136.5 GB/s memory bandwidth supports smooth operation of multiple virtual desktops or large spreadsheets.

Gaming Performance

There are no measured FPS rows for this exact CPU+GPU combination in the FACT PACK. All gaming figures discussed here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores of the individual components, not from direct testing. The data is marked as `dataIsMeasured: false`, so treat the following as projections.

The Radeon RX 7600M’s 89th percentile ranking and its Geekbench OpenCL score of 63775 position it as a capable GPU for 1080p gaming. With 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and a memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s, it can handle high-texture settings in most modern titles. The pixel rate of 154.2 GPixel/s and texture rate of 269.9 GTexel/s suggest it can fill frames quickly at 1080p. At 1440p, the GPU will still perform well, but the lack of measured data means exact frame rates are uncertain. The CPU’s high single-core score of 1950 in Cinebench R23 will ensure consistent frame pacing. For 4K gaming, the 8 GB memory capacity and the GPU’s compute power will be limiting, and users should expect lower settings to maintain playable frame rates.

Who Should Build It

This laptop configuration targets users who need a mobile platform capable of both productivity and gaming. Gamers seeking a system for 1080p high-refresh gaming will find the GPU’s 89th percentile ranking sufficient for e-sports titles and most AAA games at high settings.

Software developers will appreciate the fast single-threaded performance for compilation and the high data encryption and compression scores for security and build processes. Students in engineering or design fields can run demanding applications like CAD or visual simulation tools, leveraging the 12 MB of L3 cache and 136.5 GB/s memory bandwidth. Small business workstations that require a balance of CPU and GPU power for tasks like financial modeling or data analysis will find this configuration more than adequate.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The platform is built on the Intel BGA 2833 socket, which is a soldered mobile socket, meaning the CPU is not upgradeable. The memory is LPDDR5X, which is also soldered on most Lunar Lake implementations, so the 136.5 GB/s bandwidth is fixed. The GPU is an integrated part of the laptop motherboard, so no discrete GPU upgrades are possible. The CPU supports PCIe Gen 5 with 4 lanes for the CPU, while the GPU uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface. The 30 W TDP of the CPU and the 90 W TDP of the GPU indicate a combined thermal envelope of 120 W, which is manageable in a laptop chassis. There is no suggested PSU listed, and the power connectors for the GPU are listed as "None," indicating it draws power from the motherboard. A sensible next upgrade within this platform is not possible for the core components; instead, users should focus on expanding storage or external peripherals. The memory bandwidth is a fixed attribute, and the PCIe Gen 5 lanes for the CPU allow for high-speed NVMe SSDs.

Balance and Bottleneck

The balance between the CPU and GPU is skewed toward the GPU. The GPU’s 89th percentile ranking is significantly higher than the CPU’s 76th percentile, suggesting that in workloads that rely heavily on graphics compute, the CPU is the limiting factor. In gaming, the CPU’s single-core strength (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1950) will usually keep up with the GPU, but in CPU-intensive simulations or at lower resolutions, the 8-thread limit could cause a bottleneck. In contrast, for tasks like 3D rendering that use both components, the GPU’s 17.27 TFLOPS will likely be the primary driver, and the CPU’s 8 cores will handle the geometry and scene logic. The FPS scaling, while estimated, would show that the GPU is the primary determinant of frame rates in most titles, with the CPU’s high boost clock of 5.10 GHz mitigating potential stutter. The Passmark find prime numbers score of 195 is low, indicating that pure integer-heavy single-threaded tasks could see a slowdown, but this is unlikely to impact typical gaming or content creation workflows. The data suggests that this is a well-balanced system for its class, with the GPU leading the performance profile and the CPU providing sufficient support to avoid major bottlenecks in most scenarios.
