Executive summary (all numbers from the 155H part): Arc GPU looks fantastic and market-leading (though more so on rendering than compute, which I guess is to be expected since they're pushing the AI unit for those workloads?). Multicore CPU benchmarks running about 20-40% above the M2 Mac tested and 10% above AMD's 7840U. Battery life tests (a benchmark category I personally hate since it conflates so many different things) seem to have reached parity with the AMD and Apple devices, which doesn't sound notable but this was a BIG shortcoming with ADL/RPL.

On the whole... this sounds big. If these numbers check out in further testing then all of a sudden Intel's back on top of the laptop game.

AMD announced a successor to 7840, mostly with _more_ NPU
What do they use to test GPU Compute?
