Core Ultra 9 285H vs Xeon Gold 6138 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon Gold 6138 is faster than the Core Ultra 9 285H. Despite this, the Core Ultra 9 285H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon Gold 6138 has slightly more cores with 20 cores whereas the Core Ultra 9 285H has 16 cores. It also has more threads than the Core Ultra 9 285H. Our comparison shows that the Core Ultra 9 285H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Gold 6138. Also, the Core Ultra 9 285H has a significantly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core Ultra 9 285H has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon Gold 6138. Despite this, the Xeon Gold 6138 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core Ultra 9 285H.

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.
