Intel Core Ultra 9 285K bests the 14900K and 14900KF in latest leaked benchmark
Table of Contents
The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K has been on a roll as Geekbench results show it outperforming AMD's flagship CPU, the Ryzen 9 9950X, and the Intel Core i9-14900KF. So, it’s safe to say that the hype is real; we can't wait for the Core Ultra 9 285K's release date to come sooner.
If that wasn't enough, Arrow Lake’s flagship 285K didn't stop there. In a recent V-Ray benchmark result, it dominated the 14900K as well as the 14900KF. The 9950X managed to stay ahead of the curve by a huge margin, but Intel's 14th-generation flagship processors couldn’t keep up.

Intel Core Ultra 9 285K shows higher average score in V-Ray 6 benchmark
Before we get into the specifics, the V-Ray benchmark tests a processor’s ability to render – the faster it can render, the higher its score is. That said, the Core Ultra 9 285K had an average score of 44,883, while the 14900K and 14900KF managed 35,558 and 36,496 points, respectively.

14900K and 14900KF V-Ray average score
| CPU | Maximum score (vsamples) | Average score (vsamples) | Median score (vsamples) | Number of benchmarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMD Ryzen 9 9950X | 55,770 | 49,360 | 50,193 | 45 |
| Intel Core Ultra 9 285K | 44,883 | 44,883 | 44,883 | 1 |
| Intel Core i9-14900KF | 49,318 | 36,496 | 36,989 | 73 |
| Intel Core i9-14900K | 45,514 | 35,558 | 35,732 | 146 |
Still not as quick as the 9950X in rendering
However, the difference in performance becomes apparent when compared to the average score of 9950X, which is 49,360. To make things even more interesting, the maximum score of the 285K remains the same (due to only having one benchmark), but when we check the maximum score of the 14900K and 14900KF, these CPUs score 45,514 and 49,318 respectively.
That said, these benchmarks have plenty of variations, in the sense that some of them use 8 cores while others use 16 or 24 at varying frequencies. As such, we’ll have to wait and see what the 285K is truly capable of in terms of maximum score.
This can impact the performance of the processors, but looking at the average score of all the benchmark tests conducted, the Core Ultra 9 285K is looking to be a force to be reckoned with and could present a much-needed comeback for Team Blue following months of instability woes on its current Raptor Lake-S products.
