MagyarIntel Core Ultra 5 236V vs Intel Core Ultra 5 226V
Intel Core Ultra 5 236V
The Core Ultra 5 236V is a mid-range Lunar Lake family processor. This is an SoC for use in laptops and tablets of the slimmer kind that features 4 brand-new E-cores and 4 somewhat new P-cores running at 2.1 GHz to up to 4.7 GHz, along with the new Arc 130V iGPU and 16 GB of on-package LPDDR5x-8533 RAM. A new 40 TOPS neural engine, TB 4 and PCIe 5 SSD support are included as well.
The only difference between this chip and the Ultra 5 238V is the amount of on-package RAM: 16 GB vs 32 GB respectively.
Architecture and Features
Lunar Lake is built using the Foveros technology (stacking several dies on top of each other and next to each other), just like Meteor Lake was. These new chips make use of the enormous BGA2833 socket interface; Lion Cove P-cores are replacing Redwood cores while Crestwood E-cores got ditched in favor of Skymont, the latter reportedly so power-efficient as to make the extra 2 Low Power Island CPU cores that Meteor Lake had completely redundant. Of the 8 cores, not a single one is Hyper-Threading-enabled which is the opposite of what AMD currently does with its Zen 5/5c chips.
Intel claims Lion Cove cores bring a 14% IPC improvement to the table. For Skymont, it's 68%. Other generational improvements are present as well, such as the Low Latency Fabric that is supposed to make small data transfers between cores/caches a lot faster. Level 3 cache is pretty small here as compared to more expensive Ultra 7 200V and Ultra 9 200V parts at just 8 MB. Elsewhere, the 236V has 4 PCIe 5 and 4 PCIe 4 lanes for connecting various kinds of devices, including NVMe SSDs at up to 15.75 GB/s. TB 4 support is onboard by default, as is support for CNVi WiFi 7 + BT 5.4 cards from Intel. The 40 TOPS AI Boost neural engine is present along with technologies such as Threat Detection to make AI-enabled applications such as the Windows Defender more powerful.
The 236V comes with 16 GB of on-package, non-replaceable LPDDR5X-8533 RAM.
Performance
The chip's efficient cores run at up to 3.5 GHz. For the P-cores, it's up to 4.7 GHz.
We expect the average 236V to be pretty unimpressive as far as 2024 chips go. In fact, it's set to have a lot of trouble outperforming three or even four year-old CPUs such as the Ryzen 5 5600U.
Graphics
The Arc Graphics 130V has 7 Xe² architecture cores running at up to 1,850 MHz as well as 7 ray tracing units at its disposal. It is DirectX 12 Ultimate-enabled and able to HW-decode a long list of popular video codecs such as h.266 VVC, h.265 HEVC, h.264 AVC, AV1 and VP9. Three SUHD 4320p monitors can be used simultaneously with this iGPU.
Its real-world performance is set to be about as good as what the Intel Arc 7 delivers for decent 1080p experience in most 2023 games on low settings.
Power consumption
Most Lunar Lake processors are supposed to have a long-term power target of 17 W. The 236V certainly does. In the meantime, the Intel-recommended short-term PL for the chip sits at 37 W.
Intel Core Ultra 5 226V
The Core Ultra 5 226V is one of the slowest Lunar Lake family processors.
