Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285 Processor Outperforms i9-14900 in Geekbench, Demonstrating Single-Core PerformanceBoost
[City, State] – Intel’s upcoming Core Ultra 9 285 processor has made its debut on Geekbench, showcasingimpressive performance gains over its predecessor, the i9-14900. This non-K variant, featuring 24 cores and 24 threads, boasts a single-core score exceeding the i9-14900 by a remarkable 10-12%, while its multi-core performance is also notably enhanced.
The Ultra 9 285,with a 65W TDP, operates at a boost frequency of 5.6 GHz, just 100 MHz lower than the 125W 285K model. Benchmarks conducted on a Gigabyte Z890 UD motherboard with 32GB DDR5-5600 memory yielded a single-core score of 3247 and a multi-core score of 20204. This outpaces the i9-14900, which typically scores between 2900-2947 for single-core and 17000-20495 for multi-core, despite the i9-14900 having 32 threads.
While these scores are promising, it’s important to note that the sample size for the Ultra 9 285is currently limited, and these figures may not represent its full potential. Nonetheless, the performance is comparable to Intel’s top-of-the-line i9-14900KS (single-core 3341, multi-core 23839) and i9-14900K (single-core 3289, multi-core 23051).
Previous leaks revealed scores of 3364 and 22274 for the Ultra 9 285K, while the Ultra 7 265K achievedscores of 3265 and 21811. In comparison, AMD’s R9 9950X scored 3410 and 22430, while the R9 7950X achieved 2974 and 20755.
The Ultra 9 285, as a non-K processor, has a default PL1 of 65W, but power limits can vary based on motherboard settings and Intel’s default profiles. The exact MTB (or PL2) power limit for the Ultra 9 285 remains unknown, butit’s a factor that could further impact its performance.
This early glimpse into the Ultra 9 285’s capabilities suggests that Intel is pushing the boundaries of performance with its new processor lineup. The significant single-core gains over the i9-14900 are particularly noteworthy, potentiallymaking it a compelling option for users demanding top-tier performance in demanding applications. However, further testing and analysis are needed to fully assess the Ultra 9 285’s potential and its place in the competitive processor landscape.
