Laptop chips have gotten very powerful in recent years, with increasing CPU core counts, more powerful iGPUs, and higher DRAM bandwidth to feed that compute.

Integrated GPUs have become a crucial component in recent laptop chips, thanks to a push for better graphics performance in ultraportable devices.

The PC market is one of the toughest areas for a CPU designer to compete in.

Editor’s Note (9/8/2026): Arm has reached out to clarify that the maximum IPC increase of the C2-Ultra core over the C1-Ultra core using the parameters shown in the endnotes is 7% along with the memory bandwidth improvement not factoring into the IPC improvement.

SPEC’s CPU benchmark suite has been a long established industry standard, and is almost impossible to miss when reading through various publications.

Applications vary wildly in what they demand from a system, making it difficult for a single benchmark to provide a broadly representative score.

How bad are they, really? And how bad is the medicine?
