Processor score test software CINEBENCH R23It is often used to evaluate the 3D rendering and graphics performance of the processor itself, which was developed by MAXON based on Cinema 4D.

In this test, the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K scored 41597 pts for Multi Core and 1606 pts for Single Core, which is 7.5% stronger than the previous generation 14900KS, but this is because the 14900KS is limited by microcode for voltage and power consumption, which results in less performance than the previous generation 14900KS. However, this is the result of the 14900KS being limited by microcode in terms of voltage and power consumption, so the performance is not as good as it was at the beginning, and I still remember that the result was 42~43000 pts at the time of the launch, but except for overclocking gamers, people should only dare to let the 14900KS run in the preset of the new BIOS now.

Intel Core Ultra 7 265K gets Multi Core 35078 pts and Single Core 2270 pts, which is 9.6% stronger than the previous generation 14700K (32000 pts/2180 pts), and 4.1% stronger than the previous generation 14700K (32000 pts/2180 pts). The single-core performance is about 4.1% stronger.

Intel Core Ultra 5 245K gets 24,630 pts for Multi Core and 2,130 pts for Single Core, which is 7% stronger than the previous generation 14600K (23,000 pts/2050 pts), and about 3.9% stronger for Single Core.

new version Cinebench 2024 MAXON ONE is Maxon's benchmark software for MAXON ONE software. MAXON ONE includes Cinema 4D, Red Giant Complete, Redshift, ZBrush, Universe, and Forger, and is a powerful tool for creating animation effects, motion design, motion graphics, film-grade portraits, and game art scenes. Each of these software programs fits together to provide a complete visual solution for creators.

Cinebench 2024 uses Cinema 4D's default Redshift rendering engine to test GPU and CPU performance. If multiple graphics cards are used to run Cinebench 2024 tests, the software utilizes multiple cards for the rendering tests at the same time, and Cinebench 2024 performs multiple rendering tests with six times the amount of computation when compared to Cinebench R23. Compared to Cinebench R23, the Cinebench 2024 multi-threaded rendering tests show a six-fold increase in the amount of computation for scenes. This reflects improvements in CPU performance and the higher hardware requirements that multimedia workers must now meet.

In this test the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K scored 2438 pts for Multi Core and 98 pts for Single Core, which is 10.8% stronger than the previous generation 14900KS.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K gets 2078 pts for Multi Core and 141 pts for Single Core, which is 11.7% stronger than its predecessor, the 14700K (1860 pts/128 pts), and 10.1% stronger for Single Core.

Intel Core Ultra 5 245K gets 1480 pts for Multi Core and 131 pts for Single Core, which is 11.2% stronger than the previous generation 14600K (1330 pts/120 pts), and about 9.1% stronger for Single Core.

Intel Core Ultra 285K, 265K, 265KF Processor Temperature and Power Consumption Tests

The test platform was set up on an indoor bare test rig in a closed room with 24 °C air conditioning for actual testing, for reference only as the ambient temperature in a normal room is difficult to control.

The author used Cinebench 2024 (Multi Core_one round), AIDA64 FPU, AIDA64 CPU, theKurokami Dialog: GokuBlack Myth: Wukong" and other scenarios were tested, and data was collected using HWiFO64 to collect and record the maximum temperature, and convert the information into graphs for players' reference.

• CPU temperature is measured by the diode in the slot to measure the internal (core) or external (case) temperature, but there is no way to know exactly whether it is the internal or external temperature that is measured, and most monitoring software uses this item to display the CPU temperature.
• CPU Package temperature is recorded by all Digital Temperature Sensors (DTS) in the package as the average of the maximum temperature over 256 milliseconds, and is the HWiNFO64 recommended CPU temperature observation value, which is also used as a benchmark for overheating and downclocking of the processor.

Conclusion

After testing the new generation of Intel Core Ultra 200S Series desktop processors: Core Ultra 9 285K, Ultra 7 265K, Ultra 5 245KF, the author simply compares the performance of the Core Ultra 9 285K with the existing Core i9-14900KS. With the current BIOS default settings, the performance of the Core i9-14900KS has indeed been improved, especially in the multi-core or multi-threaded tests of the rendering software required by professional authors, and in the multi-core rendering tests of CINEBENCH R23 and Cinebench 2024, the performance of CINEBENCH R23 and Cinebench 2024 has been improved by 7.5% and 10.8% respectively. However, if we look back at the 14900KS when it was first released, it was able to achieve almost the same results before power consumption and voltage limitations.

competitor's products AMD Ryzen 9 9950X The multi-core rendering scores are similar under PBO AUTO and even higher with PBO on, so it sounds like the Intel Core Ultra 200S Series has nothing special to offer?

I think the strongest part of this generation is the performance per watt, especially compared to the 14900KS, but if you look at the 9950X...it seems to be about the same, AMD 9950X has the X670E frugal and money-saving collocation, but just look at the Core Ultra 9 285K, which is a bit cheaper now. But just looking at the processor, Core Ultra 9 285K is a bit cheaper now. As for who to choose, I'd say ..... As for who to choose, I'm going to go with "I want it all", according to my personal habits.

This time, I found that my Core Ultra 9 285K has unusually low single-core performance test results, so I guess there might be some problems with the BIOS or Windows. But I don't have much time to re-run it again, so I'll let you all have a look at it.

In the AI performance test, the Core Ultra 9 285K is indeed stronger than the 14900KS with its first generation NPU cores, but I don't usually touch the AI side of things, so I won't make a fool of myself.

The gaming performance can be summarized as poorly as expected. Under high load usage, the core frequencies are: Ultra 9 285K (P-Core 5.4 GHz/E-Core 4.6 GHz), Ultra 7 265K (P-Core 5.2 GHz/E-Core 4.6 GHz), Ultra 5 245KF (P-Core 5 GHz/E-Core 4.6 GHz), so the 14900KS will be better in the gaming scenario where the frequency is more advantageous in the same core comparison. -The 14900KS will be better in the gaming scenario where the frequency is more advantageous in the same core comparison, and of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the Intel Core Ultra 200 series will have a chance to be even better in the future after the optimization of the game, system, software, BIOS, and so on.

The only thing I can say about this test with the defaults is that it's too conservative. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Ultra performs when you buy it, and I'll be playing it when I have time to see how it stacks up.
