Intel’s 10-Core Core 7 240H Spotted On Geekbench, Both CPU And iGPU Benchmarked Multiple Times

The Core 7 240H outperformed the higher core-count Core 7 250H CPU and was tested with and without a discrete GPU on Geekbench.

Intel is not yet done with the 14th-gen processors and while we already have dedicated lineups for both desktop and mobile platforms, the company is set to release another budget-oriented lineup. As we have reported previously, it won’t be called Core i5/i7/i9 14000X, but it will rather bring a naming configuration similar to Arrow Lake chips.

The convention will exclude “Ultra” and will retain the “Core 5/7/9 200H” nomenclature. Today, we received information about one of its chips via @Benchleaks, benchmarked multiple times on Geekbench. It is the budget, 10-core Core 7 240H CPU, which was seen as a part of the Acer Nitro ANV15-52 gaming laptop, featuring a discrete RTX 4050 laptop GPU as well.

Fortunately, both the CPU and iGPU on it were benchmarked, which shows us its true potential and, surprisingly, it came out to be on top of the 14-core Core 7 250H that has 4 more cores and threads. The 250H scored 2415 points in single and 13201 in multi-core tests, but the 240H brought a noticeable increase in performance by delivering 2687/2689 points in single and 13330/13279 points in multi-core benchmarks.

Unexpectedly, these scores are even higher than the desktop 10-core Core Ultra 5 225F processor in the Arrow Lake lineup, which makes buying the 225F somewhat questionable at this point. The Core 7 240H comprises two core clusters: 6-Performance + 4-Efficient cores, featuring a base frequency of 2.5 GHz and up to 5.0 GHz boost clock. The L3 cache is 24 MB, which is the same as on Core 7 250H.

As far as its iGPU specs and performance are concerned, it will feature an Intel Xe-based iGPU featuring 64 Compute Units, which translates to 8 Xe Cores and a max clock speed of 1.5 GHz. It did OK in the OpenCL test, yielding 13362 and 13478 points in two tests, respectively, but considering the RTX 4050 laptop achieved 84369 points, it makes sense that the latter is accommodated inside the notebook for pleasant gaming performance.

Intel isn’t just releasing the Core 7 200H series but will also come up with the Intel Core 200U, which will be focused on ultra-low systems. No exact date of release is known yet, but it is expected to be CES 2025.
