The one previous time we’ve seen Intel’s Core i7-1280P processor was in Dell’s XPS 13 Plus (see issue 337, p52), where it disappointed. This is a far more convincing outing for the chip, which has big numbers in all the right places: six high-performance cores, 14 in total, plus peaks of 4.8GHz. Multicore scores of 9,620 in Cinebench R23 and 11,424 in Geekbench 5 are tribute to its power.
