10-Core Intel Core 7 253PE Appears in PassMark with Performance on Par with i5-14500

A new Intel processor, the Core 7 253PE, has "surfaced" in the PassMark database. This is a representative of the long-awaited Bartlett Lake-S lineup, which fans of the "blue team" consider practically the Holy Grail for the previous-generation LGA 1700 socket.

Unlike the hybrid architecture of recent years (P-cores + E-cores), the 253PE model is a processor without efficiency cores, containing only 10 performance cores that are extremely power-hungry, derived from Intel's 12th-14th generations. In the PassMark test, the newcomer showed results on par with the Core i5-14500, which has only 6 performance cores alongside 8 weak, energy-efficient ones.
