Core Ultra 9 285K vs Core i9-13900KS comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core Ultra 9 285K is faster than the Core i9-13900KS. Despite this, the Core i9-13900KS has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i9-13900KS has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core Ultra 9 285K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-13900KS. Despite this, the Core i9-13900KS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The info from our database shows that the Core Ultra 9 285K has more L2 cache than the Core i9-13900KS. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 285K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
