Great gains exhibited in the 7-Zip performance from Whiskey Lake to Meteor Lake.

GIMP benchmark with settings of Test: unsharp-mask. Core i7 1185G7 was the fastest.
GIMP benchmark with settings of Test: rotate. Core i7 1280P was the fastest.
GIMP benchmark with settings of Test: auto-levels. Core i7 1280P was the fastest.

With GIMP being largely single-threaded, like with the web browser benchmarks the Core Ultra 7 155H was falling behind prior Alder Lake and Tiger Lake parts but at least doing well for power efficiency.

RawTherapee benchmark with settings of Total Benchmark Time. Core Ultra 7 155H was the fastest.

Meteor Lake was performing decent for the RawTherapee RAW image processing application.

Blender benchmark with settings of Blend File: BMW27, Compute: CPU-Only. Core Ultra 7 155H was the fastest.

Or getting back to multi-threaded creator applications with Blender, the generational improvements with Meteor Lake are great for this popular free software.
