Core Ultra 9 285K vs Xeon w9-3495X specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core Ultra 9 285K beats the Xeon w9-3495X in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon w9-3495X in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon w9-3495X has significantly more cores than the Core Ultra 9 285K. Indeed, the Xeon w9-3495X has 56 cores compared to 24 cores found in the Core Ultra 9 285K. It also has more threads than the Core Ultra 9 285K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core Ultra 9 285K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon w9-3495X. Also, the Core Ultra 9 285K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon w9-3495X has significantly more L2 cache than the Core Ultra 9 285K. The Xeon w9-3495X also has significantly more 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.
