Intel recently unveiled its “Wildcat Lake” Core 300 series of laptop processors, designed for the entry-level market with excellent CPU and GPU capabilities to meet basic needs.

Today, the first benchmarks appeared, showcasing what this CPU is capable of and how it compares to industry-leading solutions in this price range, such as Apple’s newest MacBook Neo, thanks to the initial PassMark benchmark results.
