A Geekbench listing has revealed early performance results for an upcoming H3C MegaBook detachable PC powered by Intel’s Core Ultra processor lineup based on the upcoming Panther Lake architecture.
The benchmark entry appeared in the Geekbench benchmark database and provides an early look at the performance of Intel’s next-generation mid-range mobile processor.
According to the listing, the test system achieved a single-core score of 2,224 and a multi-core score of 9,506 in Geekbench 6. These results offer an initial indication of how Intel’s Panther Lake chips may perform in future thin-and-light laptops and detachable PCs such as devices rumored to use Intel’s Panther Lake laptop platform.
The Geekbench data also reveals several technical details about the processor. The Core Ultra 5 325 appears with an eight-core hybrid CPU design combining performance and efficiency cores.
Clock information in the listing shows the processor reaching boost speeds close to 4.5 GHz, with multiple clusters of cores operating at different frequencies. This type of configuration allows the processor to adjust power and performance depending on the workload.
Another notable detail in the listing is the operating system used during testing. The benchmark system was running Android 16 on an x86 platform, which likely indicates a development or testing environment rather than the final software configuration. Early hardware prototypes are often tested with different operating systems during firmware and driver development. The final device is expected to ship with a full desktop operating system such as Microsoft Windows.
The benchmark also reports 30.88 GB of RAM, indicating that the tested configuration included 32 GB of system memory.
The appearance of this benchmark suggests that H3C may be preparing a new version of its MegaBook detachable PC series. Previous MegaBook models were designed as premium 2-in-1 devices with detachable keyboards, similar to Microsoft’s Surface Pro lineup.
Intel’s Panther Lake platform is expected to focus on improved power efficiency, stronger integrated graphics performance, and expanded AI acceleration through an upgraded Neural Processing Unit (NPU). These improvements could allow future laptops to run AI-powered applications more efficiently while maintaining better battery life and thermal performance.
Although the benchmark result likely comes from an early prototype, it provides one of the first glimpses of how Intel’s upcoming Panther Lake processors may perform in real devices.
H3C has not officially announced a new MegaBook model yet, but benchmark leaks like this often appear months before a product launch as manufacturers test new hardware platforms.
