In testing, it scored 15,222 in the CPU Mark and 4,047 in single-threaded performance. While its single-thread performance nearly matches that of Apple&#8217;s A18 Pro found in the MacBook Neo, the Core 5 320 outpaces it by 27% in multi-threaded tasks.<\/p>\n<p>The Wildcat Lake series will also include built-in Xe3 graphics for budget Intel laptops. However, the Core 5 320 is equipped with only 2 Xe cores compared to Lunar Lake&#8217;s 8. Despite this, the Core 5 320 achieved a score of 2,746 compared to 5,133.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, laptops with Wildcat Lake CPUs are not yet available for purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, new results for the Wildcat Lake processor appeared on Geekbench, and Intel is reportedly preparing a processor with NVIDIA RTX graphics under the Serpent Lake codename.<\/p>\n<p>Intel is preparing to compete with the MacBook Neo, as the first notebook featuring Wildcat Lake has been spotted.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that while the A19 Pro leads in single-thread performance with 5,177 points compared to the Core 5 320&#8217;s 4,047, the Intel processor slightly surpasses it in multi-threaded performance with 15,222 points against the A19 Pro&#8217;s 14,837.<\/p>\n<p>1st @PassMarkInc sample of Intel Core 5 320 Wildcat Lake!<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 X86 is dead&amp;back (@x86deadandback) April 27, 2026<\/p>\n<p>Only 70mm2 approx 18A + IOD N6 (non monolithic)? without MoP?
