Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 164U

The Intel Core Ultra 7 164U is a laptop processor with a hybrid 12-core layout (2 performance cores + 8 efficiency cores) and 14 threads, built on the Meteor Lake architecture (Intel 4 process). It launched in Oct 2023. Clocks run from 1.1 GHz base to 4.8 GHz boost. A 12-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.0 MB per core). It addresses LPDDR5 memory up to 64 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA2551 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (12 lanes). Rated TDP is 9 W. Notable platform capabilities: Gaussian Neural Accelerator, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Core Ultra 7 164U scores 2,896 in single-core performance and 12,494 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 6,015 for overall performance, 12,176 for productivity performance, 12,085 for creator performance, 13,587 for engineering performance and 11,812 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,041 per core, 892 per thread and 1,388 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 2,005. Its performance index is 75, so its overall performance is 25% 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 7 164U scores 48,075 in integer math, 31,790 in floating-point math, 128,196 in compression, 8,335 in cryptography, 875 in physics simulation, 7,301 in vector SIMD, 56 in the prime sieve and 14,109 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 18% below in integer math, 31% below in floating-point math, 44% below in compression, 27% below in cryptography, 20% below in physics simulation, 53% below in vector SIMD, 16% below in the prime sieve and 38% 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.
