Intel's CFL-S Core i5 and Core i7 chips are a direct answer to AMD's Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 CPUs, therefore, it will be interesting to see how they fare in the benchmarks. There aren't many benchmarks in the wild yet (hey, the CPU just launched) but we've reported earlier that some folks got to play with what Intel calls the 'Best gaming desktop processor ever', the Core i7-8700K. Clevo has given us numbers of some of the benchmarks performed on their new laptops and we see that the scores do match up to what has been reported till date.

Cinebench R15

In Cinebench R15, we see impressive scores over the entire CFL-S lineup. The Cinebench R15 Multi scores sent by Clevo are higher (1396) than the results posted on earlier Videocardz (1230). Whether this could be due to any OEM specific enhancements by Clevo or something else we do not yet know, but we are not complaining. Intel comfortably leads in the singe threaded test but still falls behind the Ryzen 7 1800X when it comes to multi-threaded scores.
