Intel Core Ultra 5 336H Review

The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H is the more conventionally specced Ultra 5 chip in Panther Lake's 12-core tier, pairing the same 12-core, 12-thread CPU as the Core Ultra 5 338H with a smaller, more typical integrated GPU rather than the 338H's near-flagship Arc B370. It's the chip to expect in mainstream-priced Core Ultra 5 laptops that don't specifically market strong integrated graphics as a feature.

Intel Arc (Xe3)

A more modest Xe3-based iGPU than the 338H's B370, sized appropriately for general productivity and light gaming rather than as a headline feature.

How Is the Core Ultra 5 336H in Terms of Performance

CPU performance should track closely with the Core Ultra 5 338H given the identical 12-core, 12-thread layout and similar clock ceiling, with the practical difference between the two chips being almost entirely on the graphics side rather than CPU throughput.

Benchmarks

Geekbench 6 CPU scores should sit close to the Core Ultra 5 338H's; the meaningful gap between the two shows up specifically in graphics and AI-accelerated benchmarks rather than general CPU tests.

Our verdict

Reviewed by Burooj Alam. Rated by us, not by users.

Best for

Mainstream performance laptops needing a 12-core CPU with a 50 TOPS NPU
Buyers who want Panther Lake efficiency on Intel 18A with a smaller iGPU, paired with DDR5 or LPDDR5x

Not for

Users wanting the strongest integrated graphics, since this chip has a reduced-core Arc iGPU
Heavy multi-threaded work, since it has 12 cores and 12 threads with SMT off
