The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V has shown up on Blender's benchmark database. It scores 127.69 points in the benchmark, outperforming Apple's M3 and mid-range Ryzen 7000HS CPUs. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-Ultra-7-258V-outperforms-Apple-M3-in-Blender.891451.0.html
Playing words and little stat will make everything bigger than it actually does...
There's no honor in beating passively cooled prev gen chip in Blender
The old Ryzen 7 7840U scores 179 in this test, so not sure what's so impressive about the Intel result. The new Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 scores even higher (264), although that's probably at a higher TDP.
This is misleading and useless. There is no reason to use CPU to do Blender render.
Tell us what are the results with M3 GPU in Metal and with Intel GPU. Then the comparison is valid.
Just for comparison my RTX3060 makes 2617 points, now compre that to 127 from this CPU. It is almost 20x faster.
Intel show that their 8th core newest proseccor equal to old AMD 6th core. Big deal Intel, big decision./s
So many butthurt Intel haters in the comments lol. there's no reason to fanboy for any brand (Intel included), but are people so ignorant to forget this stat is at 17w? those other CPUs are pulling a similar score at 2x or higher wattage than Intel. people need to remember competition is good for everyone, especially consumers, so we should be glad Intel finally has a fire lit underneath its butt to release competitive products. hating for no reason only makes you look sad and weird.

Yes, but when AMD drops half their wattage on their APUs they only lose like 5%-10% performance, barely anything.

17W is TDP, max used power is 37W.
I don't get it. Why waste the money on obsession while older generations works and help prolong the equipment reduce harmful tech garbages? Saving those money invest into Stocks or Cryptos that will be enrich our pocket in coming years.
