About the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V CPU

The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V is a 8-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q3 2024. It is part of Intel's Ultra 7 lineup, which is based on the Lunar Lake microarchitecture. The Ultra 7 258V is compatible with Intel BGA 2833 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 3 nm manufacturing process. It features the Arc 140V integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core Ultra 7 258V has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 192 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2.5 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 12 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core Ultra 7 258V features 8 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The 8 cores consist of 4 P-Cores and 4 E-Cores. P-Cores are designed for high-performance tasks and E-Cores are intended for efficiency and lighter tasks. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.2 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.8 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core Ultra 7 258V includes an integrated graphics solution called Arc 140V. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance

The Core Ultra 7 258V has the 164th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 36.40% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Core i7-3610QM CPU

The Intel Core i7-3610QM is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2012 with a suggested retail price of $378. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The i7-3610QM is compatible with Intel Socket G2 (988B) motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-3610QM supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-3610QM has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 6 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-3610QM features 4 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.3 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.3 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i7-3610QM includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 4000. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Core i7-3610QM has the 325th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 20.77% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 7,684 score and $378 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 20.33. This is the 158th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
