Intel's Meteor Lake architecture is completely new and built on the Intel 4 manufacturing process. The new Core Ultra processors use this architecture, and recently the Core Ultra 7 155H has been put through its paces in Linux-based benchmarks. Phoronix.com has taken the tests, which ultimately reveal that AMD's Ryzen 7 7840U wins over the Core Ultra 7 155H.

A total of 370 tests were conducted on these two processors from AMD and Intel. These were CPU-centric benchmarks and tests taken on Linux OS. Of these, the Core Ultra 7 155H had a lead in only 75 tests, while the Ryzen 7 7840U won in 295 others. According to the decisive "geometric mean" of all results, the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U had a 28% lead over the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H.

So, what exactly is going on? Is Intel Core Ultra worse than AMD Ryzen 7 7840U? The answer is not easy. First, each processor may have its own strengths. A high-performance one (such as H-Series chips from Intel) prioritizes performance over efficiency. Other chips (like the P/U series) are focused on efficiency rather than performance.

It is possible that these tests reflect the exact performance of Core Ultra & AMD Ryzen (in Linux-centric CPU benchmarks). But this test does not represent the whole story.
