Overview
SummaryThe Intel Core Ultra 5 228V is a laptop processor with a hybrid 8-core layout (4 performance cores + 4 efficiency cores) and 8 threads, built on the Lunar Lake architecture (Compute Tile 's N3B process). It launched in Jul 2024. Clocks run from 2.1 GHz base to 4.5 GHz boost. A 8-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.9 MB per core). It addresses LPDDR5X memory up to 32 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA2833 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (8 lanes). Rated TDP is 17 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Core Ultra 5 228V scores 3,843 in single-core performance and 18,282 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,382 for overall performance, 17,264 for productivity performance, 16,973 for creator performance, 18,739 for engineering performance and 16,100 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,285 per core, 2,285 per thread and 1,075 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 2,033. Its performance index is 104, so its overall performance is 4% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
