Intel Meteor Lake Performance Up 10% After BIOS Update

The latest BIOS version update for laptops that use Intel Meteor Lake processors brings significant improvements in performance, the Hothardware portal cited, citing Ultrabook Review. For example, the ASUS ZenBook 14 OLED, a Core Ultra 7 155H-based laptop model, with six Redwood P cores with a frequency of up to 4.8 GHz, eight cores of Crestmont E frequencies up to 3.8 GHz, and two cores LP-E additional power saving. The new firmware improves Intel Meteor Lake performance and multithread performance increases by more than 10%.

ASUS ZenBook 14 OLED Testing

The Ultrabook Review tested the ASUS ZenBook 14 OLED (UX3405) before and after the BIOS update. After the firmware update, the multithreaded performance of the Core Ultra 7 155h has seen a significant improvement, especially in the Cinebench R23 synthetic test. The laptop was initially tested with firmware version 201, but the latest version is now 203.

Performance comparison

With the old firmware version 201, the Core Ultra 7 155h processor shows a multithreaded performance of 12,357 points (best results) and 11,342 points (average in the 10-minute stress test) in the Cinebench R23 test, with Single-threaded performance reaches 1,751 points (best result). After the BIOS update to version 203, the chip’s multithread performance increased to 13,873 points (best results) and 12,132 points in a 10-minute stress test, with single-threaded performance reaching 1,761 points.

Impact of BIOS Update

Although the BIOS update did not have a major impact on the performance of the Single-Threaded Core Ultra 7 155H on the Asus ZenBook 14 OLED UX3405 – the increase was only about 0.57%, which was caused by a bug. However, multithread performance increased significantly – about 12.27% when comparing the best results and about 7% in a 10-minute stress test.

Optimization of power management

It seems that the new BIOS version optimizes processor power management, allowing the chip to operate longer at higher performance. The Ultrabook Review noted that during the ten-minute stress test, the processor’s TDP went up to 50 W, but stabilized at around 28W after five to six minutes of testing.

Conclusion Intel Meteor Lake Performance Up 10% After BIOS Update

With the latest BIOS update, ASUS ZenBook 14 OLED with Intel Meteor Lake processor offers a significant improvement in multithread performance, proving that firmware updates can have a positive impact on the user experience. Users are advised to update their BIOS to benefit from this incredible performance boost.
