Intel's "Meteor Lake" mobile processor lineup was unveiled last December with an initial offering of 11 "Core Ultra" products. This week, hardware enthusiasts stumbled upon what seems to be a new addition – Intel appears to have quietly introduced a new model. Benchleaks discovered an intriguing entry on the Geekbench browser detailing a "Google Rex" Android device equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 5 115U CPU.
The benchmark database indicated two discrepancies – namely, it detected 10 cores and 10 threads. Intel's official product page, however, lists 8 cores and 10 threads, with a specific configuration of 2 P cores, 4 E cores, and 2 LP cores. Interestingly, the official data explicitly states that the Core Ultra 5 115U is launched alongside the initial batch of Meteor Lake parts.
VideoCardz believes that the weaker iGPU specifications of this chip set it apart from other products: "It being called 'Ultra' might be misleading. In fact, its graphics processor is also reduced to 3 Xe-Cores, making it the only SKU in the entire product line with fewer than 4 Xe-Cores. The NPU remains intact, and its performance seems to be on par with the most powerful Meteor Lake chips. This suggests that the 115U could excel as an AI accelerator, prioritizing AI tasks over other functions."
This entry-level SKU hasn't fully hit the market yet, but the existence of testing platforms (as evidenced by Geekbench browser entries) partially confirms that Intel and its hardware partners are gearing up for new portable products.
