Intel Core Ultra 5 125H mainboard performance?

I have a question for owners with Intel Ultra 125H mainboards, how is the performance for you?

Looking at Cinebench R23 runs I’ve done for i7-1260p and 125H, multicore performance seems almost equal (9800~ for 1260p, 10k~ for 125H), does this look about right? Looking at other laptops with the same CPU, they score 2k+ higher, but they also seem to have higher power limit compared to whatever is set for FW13 (I would assume it’s 28w, going by the numbers I’m getting, which is also about the same numbers I’m seeing in others with 28w power limit).

Everything else about 125H seems fine, it’s just the multicore performance I’m having some questions about.

Multicore results from Geekbench 6 with kubuntu 24.04 lts and a 6.14 kernel give 11051. Multicore results for both balanced and performance power profiles are the same for me. “Balanced” power profile results here. “Performance” power profile results here.

FWIW i did not take any special effort to limit other processes that might be running during these tests.

These results seem comparable to other geekbench resutls for framework 13 core ultra series 1 125H here.

I ran:

sudo turbostat --Summary --quiet --show Busy%,Avg_MHz,PkgTmp,PkgWatt --interval 1

during both tests to monitor the “PkgTmp” and “PkgWatt” in 1 second intervals (full output below). I see the PkgWatt occasionally hitting ~48 W during both of the geekbench6 runs.
