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.
Disclaimer: For big.LITTLE-based processors, the result is missing in some tests. This is because they didn’t scale properly with P cores and the achieved performance was too low. In such cases it is indeed possible to force performance on all cores, but this does not happen by default at the user level. To avoid creating the illusion in some cases that measured results such as those presented in the graphs are normally achieved, we omit them. However, these are a negligible fraction of the total set of test results.

Note: If a processor is missing a SPECworkstation test result, it is because the application failed to execute it for some reason. In this case, “error” is written to the chart instead of a numeric value.
