Lenovo IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 14 Convertible review: Panther Lake at a bargain price?

[Redaktion]

While the more powerful processors from Intel's Panther Lake generation (e.g., the Core Ultra 9 386H) have already been extensively tested, we took a look at the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 14, which features a weaker but significantly cheaper entry-level model in the form of the Core Ultra 5 322. How does the six-core perform against its predecessors and AMD's competition?

So a 7840U in a 14" Thinkpad T14/T14s or HP EliteBook at 24W on TSMC 4 nm from about 3 years ago (May 2023) is about 70% faster in CBR15 sustained. And that is with a PL2 of only 28W.

Cinebench R15 multi sustained performance: Ø1965

Cinebench R15 Multi loop: Ø1164

1811 / 1164 -> 55.6 %
1965 / 1164 -> 68.8 %

This shows that INTEL may have not improved their process node or CPU architecture in the last many generations by much? The Arc B390 is a massive improvement (not in this 2-in-1), but it's also made by TSMC. Well, INTEL, time to move your CPU part to TSMC as well, you can still put the backdoors into a separate chiplet XD

It has nothing to do with node or architecture. Look at the CPU specs, and you have the answer: each of your mentioned AMD CPUs has 16 Threads in total, while the Core Ultra 322 has only 6 Threads in total. Of course it has to lose.
