Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX vs Intel Core i9-13900KS

Core Ultra 9 285HX vs Core i9-13900KS benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core Ultra 9 285HX performs better than the Core i9-13900KS. Despite this, the Core i9-13900KS has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i9-13900KS has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-13900KS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 9 285HX. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core Ultra 9 285HX has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i9-13900KS. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core Ultra 9 285HX has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
