Core Ultra 9 285H vs RYZEN AI MAX+ 395 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the RYZEN AI MAX+ 395 beats the Core Ultra 9 285H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core Ultra 9 285H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the RYZEN AI MAX+ 395 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the RYZEN AI MAX+ 395 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 9 285H. In terms of cache, the Core Ultra 9 285H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the RYZEN AI MAX+ 395. Despite this, the RYZEN AI MAX+ 395 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core Ultra 9 285H.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core Ultra 9 285H has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
