Intel Core Ultra 5 322 Review

The Intel Core Ultra 5 322 is the other 6-core, 6-thread entry in Panther Lake's U-series, carrying the identical published base and boost clocks (1.9 GHz to 4.4 GHz) as the Core Ultra 5 332. Intel hasn't publicly disclosed a clear differentiator between the two model numbers beyond this; the practical difference likely comes down to OEM channel allocation, minor binning, or a feature like vPro eligibility rather than a meaningful performance gap. Buyers comparing laptops built on the 322 versus the 332 shouldn't expect a noticeable real-world difference between them based on currently published specifications.

Intel Arc (Xe3)

Same reduced Xe3 iGPU class as the Core Ultra 5 332, appropriate for this tier's entry-level positioning.

How Is the Core Ultra 5 322 in Terms of Performance

Given identical published clock speeds and core count to the Core Ultra 5 332, expect essentially identical performance between the two chips. As with the 332, the two-core deficit against the 8-core U-series chips shows up specifically in multi-threaded workloads.

Benchmarks

Geekbench 6 scores for the 322 should track the Core Ultra 5 332 closely given the matching published specifications, with any measured difference more likely attributable to per-unit variance and cooling than to the model number itself.
