Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 9 mobile CPU outperforms most desktop counterparts in new benchmark — Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus nearly matches flagship Core Ultra 9 285K in single-threaded performance

Intel's mainstream Arrow Lake lineup is due for a refresh later this year, and while we've already seen a lot about the desktop parts, the first mobile SKU has just appeared on PassMark with some impressive scores to boot. It beats every x86 laptop processor and gives most desktop SKUs a run for their money as well.
