Honor MagicBook Art 14 2025 leaks before July release with questionable early performance

The launch of Honor's next high-end laptop is right around the corner. As we have discussed previously, the MagicBook Art 14 2025 will officially debut on July 2 alongside the Magic V5 and the MagicPad 3. Officially teased a few days ago, the latest MagicBook Art 14 has now been spotted on Geekbench across its single-core, multi-core and OpenCL benchmarks.

In the process, the popular benchmarking platform has confirmed the CPU architecture upon which Honor has based its next 14-inch laptop. As the screenshots below show, the MagicBook Art 14 2025 will feature at least the Core Ultra 7 255H from Intel's Arrow Lake-H platform paired with 32 GB of RAM. A direct upgrade from the Core Ultra 7 155H found in last year's model, the Core Ultra 7 255H should deliver superior results than those shown below.

Across the board, the MagicBook Art 14 2025 comes up short against what we would expect from Arrow Lake-powered laptops in these benchmarks like the Asus Zenbook Duo that we reviewed a few months ago (curr. $1,499.99 on Amazon). Also, these results see the laptop performing worse than its predecessor. Consequently, we doubt that the MagicBook Art 14 2025 will perform this badly if we get our hands on it later this year.
