A new CPU has taken the throne of absolute performance – the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K. Yes, it’s a tight race, it’s with higher power consumption and lower efficiency, but that’s a necessary tax to pay for that “absolute peak”. Sure, someone will gladly sacrifice that leadership in favor of better operating characteristics, but either way, the 24-core CPU is the one that sets the pace in compute tasks on a mainstream platform. In this case, it’s Intel LGA 1851.

Test environment: Applications OBS Studio and Xsplit. We’re using the built-in benchmark (scene Australia, Clear/Dry, Cycle) in F1 2020, in a resolution of 2560 × 1440 px and the same graphics settings, as with standard game performance tests. Thanks to this, we can measure the performance decrease if you record your gameplay with the x264 software encoder while playing. The output is 2560 × 1440 px at 60 fps.
