The [Samsung](https://technosports.co.in/?s=Samsung)Galaxy Book 4 Ultra, the premium offering from the laptop manufacturer, has been identified as featuring the Intel Meteor Lake CPU, specifically the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H. This flagship Meteor Lake CPU is anticipated to offer substantial performance, boasting up to 16 cores (6 P, 8 E, 2 LP-E cores), 24 threads, and clock speeds reaching up to 5.1 GHz, accompanied by a 24 MB cache (L3).

It is noteworthy that Intel initially intended to prioritise the Core Ultra 7 & Core Ultra 5 SKUs for laptops before introducing the higher-end Core Ultra 9 CPUs through its partners.

Unfortunately, specific details on memory speeds, power limits, and thermal targets are absent, crucial factors influencing performance in various laptops. The Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Ultra employs a conventional dual-fan design featuring a copper aluminum baseplate covering the CPU and dGPU.

In terms of benchmark performance, the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H “Meteor Lake” CPU recorded 767 points in the single-core test and 8096 points in the multi-core test. These figures fall below those of the Raptor Lake Core i9-13900H, equipped with 14 cores and up to 5.4 GHz clock speeds. Nevertheless, the Intel Meteor Lake CPU demonstrated a 14% improvement in single-core and a 5% improvement in multi-core performance compared to AMD’s Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU.

Previous leaks indicated disappointing battery timings for [Intel](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/homepage.html)Meteor Lake CPUs. However, it is crucial to consider that performance metrics, including battery life, are contingent upon the complete specifications and thermal/power limits of the laptops in which the Intel Meteor Lake CPUs were evaluated. With the imminent launch just a few days away, comprehensive insights into the performance of Intel’s next-gen client CPU family in the laptop segment will be unveiled on December 14th. Stay tuned for further updates as more information becomes available.
