Intel Core Ultra 9 285K crushes Intel Core i9-14900K in early benchmarks

A few days ago we talked about the performance improvement offered by the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K Processor compared to the model that replaces the Intel Core i5-14600k Processoran improvement of 6% thanks to the application CPU-Z. This test also shows that the new range also consumes less watts, so at first glance it all seems like good news.

The latest performance test that has just been made public comes, once again, from the famous leaker X (Twitter) HXL. In the tests, we see what the performance of the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K looks like in the V-Ray reference

a test that analyzes the abilities of 3D rendering and where a significant improvement in performance is confirmed.

Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor is 26% faster than its predecessor

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K will be the most powerful processor that Intel plans to introduce on October 24, a processor with 24 cores and 24 threads with a maximum clock speed of 5.7 GHz, with a base of 3.7 GHz, with a memory of 40 MB. L2 cache and 36 MB of L3 cache.

The Intel Core i9-14900k has 24 cores and 32 threads, with a base speed of 3.2 GHz and a maximum of 6 GHz. It has 32 MB of L2 cache and 36 MB of L3 cache. Both processors share a power consumption that ranges from 125W to 250W.

In the V-Ray perform ance test, the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Processor

achieved a score of 44,883 points. This score represents a significant change from the Intel Core i9-14900K Processor whose score is 35,558 points, surpassed even by the Intel Core i9-13900K Processor with 35,715 points. This result is all the more striking since the new processor, although it has the same number of cores, has 8 fewer threads, 24 against 32.

This is an important sign that at present there are only recordings a testThis score may therefore vary as more teams perform this test, allowing for an approximate average of their performance in this test.

A 26% performance difference over its predecessor is a significant change in a single generation, so again, this result should be taken with a grain of salt and is only considered when it hits the market and performance testing becomes more prevalent. That’s when we’ll really know the performance difference.

Within desktop processors, the new Ryzen 9 9950X It has a score of 49360 points with over 45 tests, which is 10% more performance than the new Intel Core Ultra 285.

In third place in this ranking, speaking only of desktop processors, is the Ryzen 7950X with 40,070 points, with 12% lower performance than the Intel model and followed by the Ryzen 9900X with 40015 points. Next come the Intel Core i9-14900KS and the Intel Core i9-14900K.
