Dell XPS 16 DA16260: specs and configurations
Performance score
Dell XPS 16 DA16260 is a Dell laptop released Q1 2026. It comes in 4 configurations: CPUs Core Ultra X9 388H, Core Ultra X7 358H, Core Ultra 7 355, Core Ultra 5 325; graphics Arc B390. The fastest is Ultra X9 388H · Arc B390 (score 33.2), the most basic Ultra 5 325 · Arc B390 (23.41) — the gap between them is what the extra money buys.
A laptop's score is the average of its CPU and graphics scores by our calculation, not a benchmark. Graphics are counted at their power (TGP) in this very laptop: the same RTX 4070 at 60 W is slower than at 140 W.

Real tests
What the test measures
Blender is a popular free 3D graphics program. The test makes the device render three ready-made 3D scenes (light, shadows, reflections) and counts how many render passes it finishes per minute. The higher the number, the faster the device handles heavy work: 3D, video editing, photo processing. On a CPU the test loads all cores at once, so it shows the chip's full power; on a graphics card it shows its compute strength.
GPU rendering (Blender)
Median of real test runs on users' computers. It does not show FPS in games. Data updated: 31.10.2026. For laptops: the typical result of this CPU and GPU across different laptops, not adjusted to this model's power limit.
