AI Summary

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K delivers a robust 24‑core/24‑thread performance, scoring 67,735 on PassMark and 41,558 Cinebench Multi, ideal for content creation and 1080p gaming. With a 5.7 GHz turbo and integrated Arc GPU, it balances price and power. It lags behind AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D in raw single‑thread tasks and Blender rendering, and its 125 W TDP adds cooling cost, still excels in multi‑core content workloads.


Pros

  • 24 cores/24 threads provide high multi‑core performance
  • Competitive PassMark of 67,735 surpasses many 2025 CPUs
  • Integrated Arc Xe‑LPG GPU supports 1080p gaming without a discrete GPU
  • Price at $589 offers strong value over high‑end Ryzen 9 9950X3D

Cons

  • Lower single‑thread performance than AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
  • Blender rendering slower than the 9950X3D by ~12%
  • 125 W TDP requires robust cooling, raising system cost
  • No 32 threads; less ideal for extreme multi‑threaded workloads compared to Intel Core i9‑14900KS
