According to Fast Tech on September 3, the latest Geekbench benchmark tests show that Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 9 285K flagship processor is 14% faster in multi-core performance compared to AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X.

The motherboard used in this test was the ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 APEX, paired with 48GB of DDR5-7200 memory (dual-channel). This motherboard supports the new generation LGA 1851 socket and is the successor to the Z790 APEX.

In the Geekbench test, the Core Ultra 9 285K scored 3420 points in single-core performance and an impressive 23,376 points in multi-core performance.

Compared to AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X, the Core Ultra 9 285K leads by 2% in single-core performance and by a significant 14% in multi-core performance. Compared to Intel's own Core i9-14900K, it offers an 11-12% improvement.

The Core Ultra 9 285K boasts 24 cores, consisting of 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores, totaling 24 threads. Its base frequency is 3.7 GHz, scalable up to 5.7 GHz.

Additionally, the processor features 36MB of L3 cache and a thermal design power (PL1) of 125W.

However, benchmark scores only represent the processor's performance in a specific test environment. Actual performance in real-world applications may vary due to factors such as system configuration, cooling solutions, and software optimization.

The Core Ultra 9 285K and ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 APEX motherboard are expected to be officially unveiled in October, so stay tuned!
