Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 332

The Intel Core Ultra 5 332 is a laptop processor with 6 cores and 6 threads, built on the Panther Lake architecture. It launched in Jan 2026. Clocks run from 2.5 GHz base to 4.4 GHz boost. A 12-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.4 MB per core). It addresses LPDDR5X, DDR5 memory up to 128 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA2540 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (12 lanes). Rated TDP is 25 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Core Ultra 5 332 scores 3,842 in single-core performance and 15,337 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,676 for overall performance, 15,348 for productivity performance, 15,351 for creator performance, 15,241 for engineering performance and 15,360 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,556 per core, 2,556 per thread and 614 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,535. Its performance index is 95, so its overall performance is 5% below 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.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core Ultra 5 332 scores 30,714 in integer math, 40,780 in floating-point math, 140,418 in compression, 10,460 in cryptography, 1,252 in physics simulation, 12,583 in vector SIMD, 115 in the prime sieve and 17,029 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 48% below in integer math, 11% below in floating-point math, 38% below in compression, 9% below in cryptography, 15% above in physics simulation, 19% below in vector SIMD, 72% above in the prime sieve and 25% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 332 has 6 physical cores and runs 6 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.50 GHz and boosts up to 4.40 GHz.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 332 is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Core Ultra 5 family, uses the Panther Lake architecture, carries the codename Panther Lake and is manufactured on a 2 nm process. It launched in Jan 2026.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 332 has 608 KB of L1 cache, 2 MB of L2 cache and 12 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 14.6 MB of cache, or 2.43 MB per core.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 332 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 608 KB, L2 at 2 MB and L3 at 12 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 82% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 332 supports LPDDR5X, DDR5 memory, addresses up to 128 GB of memory and uses 2 memory channels. It does not support DDR4 memory.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 332 includes integrated graphics (Intel Graphics) and clocks the graphics up to 2.45 GHz.
