Another Intel Wildcat Lake CPU arrives on PassMark, showing equivalent performance to its smaller sibling.
PassMark Reveals Intel Core 5 330 Delivers 4,215 Points in Single and 14,947 Points in Multi-Core Tests
Some of the Intel Wildcat Lake CPUs have now appeared on popular benchmarking platforms like PassMark and Geekbench. We first saw a glimpse of the only 1+4 Core CPU, Core 3 304, on Geekbench, and then the Core 5 320 appeared a few days ago on the popular platform PassMark. We saw the Core 5 320 competing with the Apple A19 Pro in MT, but trailing in single-threaded tests.
Now, its bigger sibling just appeared on PassMark, featuring the same core configuration. It's the Intel Core 5 330, a mid-range Wildcat Lake CPU that brings a 2-Performance + 4 LP-Efficient core configuration. It's not that different from the Core 5 320, except that it features Intel SIPP support, but the Core 5 330 is largely identical to the Core 5 320 in every aspect.
As for the score, the Core 5 330 delivered 4,215 points in single-thread and 14,947 points in multi-threaded tests. For comparison, it's just <1% slower in multi-threaded prowess vs Core 5 320, but a good 4% faster in single-threaded operations. These numbers can vary when more samples are registered, and as it's still an initial stage, the numbers can go up or down as more entries are validated.
Nonetheless, we don't expect the Core 5 330 to be faster since it's basically the same chip as the Core 5 320, featuring the same core configuration, clock speeds of 1.5/4.6 GHz for the P-core and 1.4/3.4 GHz for the LP-E-core. The iGPU is identical as well, featuring 2x Xe3 cores with up to 2.50 GHz of clock speed. Basically, the Core 5 330 is yet another strong entry-level processor that does a pretty amazing job in multi-tasking and productivity, and performs well in single-core workloads as well.
