Intel wants to wipe the slate clean with the new processors Intel Core Ultra 200 and forget about the stability problems that both the 13th and 14th generations of Intel processors have suffered, a problem that, according to the company, has finally been resolved with the latest update.
The latest leak related to this new range of processors for desktop computers that will be presented on October 10 to hit the market on the 24th of the same month, indicates that it will have an increase in the CPI of 32%, this represents a considerable increase in comparison with the previous generation, but you have to take it with a grain of salt.
What performance improvement does the Intel Core Ultra S offer compared to the previous generation?
Unlike other leaks, this information comes from a slide of the company itself. Intel in which we can see how the cores dedicated to performance, P-Corehave an improvement in the CPI of 9% thanks to the Lion Cove architecture which includes 36 MB of shared LLC with a clock speed of 16.67 MHz. In addition, it also takes advantage of an improved memory system that offers up to 3 MB of L2 cache per core.
The improvement of the cores dedicated to energy consumption, E-Coreincreases considerably up to 32% thanks to the use of the new skymont architecture and to the increase of bandwidth L2 cache.
The main purpose of this new generation of Intel processors for desktop computers is to reduce both the temperature and the energy consumption. The information that Intel offers is informative and until the first reviews reach the market, embargoed until October 24 (and when the launch of the first compatible motherboards is also planned), we will not be left in doubt.
Performance comparison of the Intel Core Ultra 285K with the AMD Ryzen 9950X
As we mentioned at the end of the previous section, to clear up doubts and really know the performance that the Intel Core Ultra 200 range will offer we will have to wait for the first reviews. If you can’t wait until October 24, you can take a look at the first leaked benchmark, also from Intel, where the performance of the Intel Core Ultra 285K with the AMD Ryzen 9950X.
To carry out this test, we start from the results obtained by the Intel Core i9-14900K. In the test of Geekbenchthe Ryzen 9950X is 8% faster than the Core i9, while the Core Ultra 285K is 5% faster.
In the test of Cinebench 2024we see how the Intel Core Ultra 285K is 8% faster than the Intel Core i9-14900K, while the AMD processor, Ryzen 9950X is 2% faster. But, the biggest difference in performance is found in the test 3DMarkwhere the Ryzen 9950X is 3% faster while the new Intel Core Ultra 285K processor offers 11% better performance compared to the Intel Core i9-14900K.
Is it worth changing if you have the Intel Core i9-14900K? In the absence of knowing what the consumption of the new Intel processor is, the improvement in performance, as is usual between one generation and another, is not as great as inviting change. In the end it depends on the needs of the users.
