Core Ultra 9 285H vs Ryzen 7 8845H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 8845H is faster than the Core Ultra 9 285H. Despite this, the Core Ultra 9 285H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core Ultra 9 285H has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 8845H. Indeed, the Core Ultra 9 285H has 16 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 8845H. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 8845H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 9 285H. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core Ultra 9 285H has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 8845H. The Core Ultra 9 285H also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core Ultra 9 285H has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
