Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 185H

The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H is a mobile processor with a hybrid 16-core layout (6 performance cores + 8 efficiency cores) and 22 threads, built on the Meteor Lake architecture (Intel 4 process). It launched in Oct 2023. Clocks run from 2.3 GHz base to 5.1 GHz boost. A 24-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.7 MB per core). It addresses LPDDR5, DDR5 memory up to 96 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA2049 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (28 lanes). Rated TDP is 45 W. Notable platform capabilities: Gaussian Neural Accelerator, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H scores 3,669 in single-core performance and 29,129 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 10,338 for overall performance, 24,070 for productivity performance, 22,625 for creator performance, 33,498 for engineering performance and 18,289 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,821 per core, 1,324 per thread and 647 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,541. Its performance index is 128, so its overall performance is 28% 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.

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 9 185H scores 97,464 in integer math, 72,290 in floating-point math, 334,982 in compression, 19,553 in cryptography, 1,941 in physics simulation, 19,946 in vector SIMD, 123 in the prime sieve and 39,071 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 65% above in integer math, 57% above in floating-point math, 47% above in compression, 70% above in cryptography, 78% above in physics simulation, 29% above in vector SIMD, 84% above in the prime sieve and 72% above 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 9 185H has 16 physical cores and runs 22 logical threads. It uses a hybrid layout of 6 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores. It runs at a base clock of 2.30 GHz and boosts up to 5.10 GHz.
