One of the main reasons why we may want to get a processor is the performance it offers when handling the different applications that we use daily, that is, a large number of users look for the best performance instead of focusing on getting a midpoint in terms of quality-price. This is where the best processors of each company come in, both Intel as at AMD, and this time the more powerful processor Arrow Lake would far surpass AMD’s best in performance.
Intel has never had problems offering great power in any type of benchmark, and one of the company’s specialties is creating processors that stand out for the performance they offer thanks to the large number of combined cores they use. This time, they have once again managed to make the high-end processor of this generation manage to surpass the most powerful from AMD, as well as its own processor that previously held the record for the highest multi-core score in Geekbench 6, the i9-14900KS.
Intel wants to return to the top of performance with its new Arrow Lake processors
It is quite common that when we see the launch of a processor, we think about the advantages it offers over previous generations, and it is clear that Arrow Lake is one of the architectures that will change the most compared to those we have seen so far. The main reason is, as we well know, the implementation of the new Skymont efficiency cores, which Intel claims offer up to 50% more performance compared to those that had the 14th generation of processors of the brand, thus improving the overall power of the processor when combined with the new Lion Cove.
This apparently yielded the results the company wanted, and a series of tests have appeared in Geekbench 6 that demonstrate the score it needs to achieve to meet the goal. Core Ultra 9 285K both in single-core and multi-core tests, offering a very high score. In fact, it can be said that this is the highest score that a processor aimed at the general public has managed to obtain, since it competes directly with the Ryzen 9 9950X that AMD recently launched and which is currently the most powerful that the company offers.
At the single-core level, we see that the score offered by the new Intel processor is 3420 points compared to the 3359 offered by its main competitor, surpassing by 61 points the performance offered by the Ryzen 9. Looking at the multi-core score we see the substantial improvement represented by the new implementations that the company has carried out, since it manages to reach 23376 points compared to the 21890 offered by the i9-14900KS, far surpassing the 20550 of the Ryzen 9 9950X.
Although we already know that Intel’s weakness does not lie in this type of testing, since their processors always manage to obtain extremely high scores, the problem is rather that they have lost the trust of users after seeing all the setbacks they have suffered over generations, as well as other types of factors that are not always taken into account, such as the use given to each processor.
