Intel's Panther Lake Core Ultra X9 388H beats out AMD Strix Halo in early Geekbench single-threaded results
Not only that, but the 290K Plus has more specs mentioned than the 270K Plus, correlating with the fact that there's more info about it online right now. Keeping that in mind, both processors are listed as 24-core SKUs with an 8P+16E config. The 290K Plus has a listed max clock of 5.8 GHz via Thermal Velocity Boost — 100 MHz higher than the 285K it's succeeding — while the listing for the 270K Plus denotes a 5.5 GHz Turbo Boost Max — same as the outgoing 265K.

CES is right around the corner, so we'll find out soon enough. At the very least, we can deduce that retailers are getting ready for a seemingly imminent launch of new Intel chips.
