Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Tops PassMark Single-Thread Benchmark

According to the latest PassMark benchmarks, the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K is the highest-performing single-thread CPU. The benchmark king title comes as PassMark's official account on X shared single-threaded performance number, with the upcoming Arrow Lake-S flagship SKU, Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, scoring 5,268 points in single-core results. This is fantastic news for gamers, as games mostly care about single-core performance. This CPU, having 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores, boasts 5.7 GHz P-core boost and 4.6 GHz E-core boost frequencies. The single-core tests put the new SKU at 11% lead compared to the previous-generation Intel Core i9-14900K processor.

However, the multithreaded cases are running more slowly. The PassMark multithreaded results put Intel Core Ultra 9 285K at 46,872 points, which is about 22% slower than the last-generation top SKU. While this may be a disappointment for some, it is partially expected, given that Arrow Lake stops the multithreaded designs in Intel CPU families. From now on, every CPU will be a combination of P and E-Cores, tuned for efficiency or performance depending on the use case. It is also possible that the CPU used inn PassMark's testing was an engineering sample, so until official launch, we have no concrete information about its definitive performance comparison.

phanbueyX86 has been around way longer than I thought it would last tbh.

I lol’ed reading that meme. Nice job!

DavenAnd how’s that working out for Intel? Last time I checked Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Google are raking in the money and none of them see x86 as necessary based on their current and future product plans.

Heck, Qualcomm might even buy Intel just to use Intel products as space heaters in ARM team developer cubicles during cold San Diego winters.

lololololol
I must have missed all those Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google desktop and laptop chips :nutkick:

Funny, Cisco doesnt need x86 either! Neither does Ford, Costco, or my local water company! x86 is DOOoOOOoOoOooomed!

Where’s AMD in your list?

I am very interested to see the real world penalty on multi-threaded scenario as a result of removing HT from their P-cores. It may or may not be a good move, depending on the performance penalty. It will also affect buyer's decision if they had to sacrifice multi-threaded performance if their workflow requires a lot of multi-threaded processing. Some people may buy a PC for work and play. Given that this is going to improve in some cases and regress in some, it may be a tough decision to make.

Simply put one can't just run the test with and without it to compare what penalty is when it's gone. Especially when there is such a diverse salad of cores,the results will get totally skewed

with zen we can claim 1.33 efficiency and the 8C behaves like the equivalent of 10.64 cores. But this 8+12 cannot mean anything.

Aapl - replaced x86 with homebrew ARM and uses homebrew ARM in 20% of the world’s smartphones ($3.4 trillion market cap)
Msft - promoting Qualcomm ARM over x86, uses GPUs from AMD and Nvidia for Azure, AMD custom x86 still in Xbox ($3 trillion market cap)
Nvda - replacing x86 in servers with homebrew ARM and GPUs ($3.1 trillion market cap)
Goog - uses ARM over x86 for Android in 80% of the world’s smartphones. Uses GPUs over x86 in AI compute servers ($2.1 trillion market cap)
Amzn - replaced x86 with homebrew Graviton ARM in AWS servers ($1.9 trillion market cap)

You were saying?
Visible NoiseWhere’s AMD in your list?
I was listing the top most valued companies in the world with over a trillion market cap. All of them used x86 CPUs at one time or another but have mostly transitioned to ARM and compute GPUs. Their profits have exploded while Intel is losing money.

Are you high?

Microsoft Azure is 99%+ Intel
Google cloud - same
AWS - same
Nvidia - guess what all their employees use, and what their Cadence simulation systems run on.
Facebok - Intel made custom x86

etc…etc…etc…
