On Geekbench, we can see the results of Intel’s forthcoming Core Ultra 9 285K. The results are rather encouraging, with the processor outperforming a Core i9 14900K on software.
Core Ultra 9 285K: 10% more performance than the 14900K!
As a reminder, with this processor we may be dealing with the spearhead of the series. It will have a total of 24 cores, with 8 P-Core and 16 E-Core. However, unlike current generations, there will be no hyperthreading, which doesn’t seem to have a negative impact on performance, as we shall see.
When mounted on an ASUS ROG Strix Z890-A Gaming WiFi and coupled with 64 GB of 6400 MT/s RAM , the configuration achieves scores of 3,449 pts and 23,024 pts in single and multicore. To give you an idea, this represents an 11% increase in single-core score and a 10% increase in multicore score compared with the Core i9 14900K.
Despite this, the processor operates at lower speeds than the 14900K, which reaches 6.2 GHz. Here, we are 500 MHz lower with a boost frequency of 5.7 GHz. What’s more, power consumption seems to be significantly lower too, with a nice difference of 100W.
By the way, with these scores, Intel’s new CPU also ranks above the Ryzen 9 9950X.
