Story summary

Intel Corporation's Panther Lake mobile processors show weaker CPU performance based on leaked Cinebench R23 results.
The Core Ultra X7 358H scores around 20,000 points, and the Ultra 5 338H around 16,000, both below their predecessors.
The focus appears to shift toward graphics, with the Xe3 iGPU reportedly matching NVIDIA's RTX 3050.
Yet, early tests may not reflect final performance, since optimizations could raise results before launch.
