For CPU-based video encoding with SVT-AV1, the Core Ultra X7 358H was ahead of Lunar Lake and Meteor Lake for raw performance while competing with the AMD Strix Point laptops and in great shape for performance-per-Watt.
The power efficiency of the Core Ultra X7 358H was very nice at the defaults while stay tuned for the performance and power saver mode testing in the coming days for those wanting to see Panther Lake at both the performance and power efficiency extremes.
