The Core Ultra 200S series, a new family of desktop processors that Intel launched today for delivering what it says is great gaming performance and industry-leading compute at significantly lower power for desktop PCs, featuring up to 8 next-gen Performance-cores (P-cores) and up to 16 next-gen Efficient-cores (E-cores), are 5% slower than AMD Ryzen 7000X3D Series processors with 3D V-Cache, according to a new statement that Robert Hallock (Intel VP & General Manager Client AI and Technical Marketing) has shared with the press. Hallock, who previously worked at AMD as its director of technical marketing, says that he “feels really, really good” about Intel’s new CPUs despite this performance difference. Benchmarks that Intel shared showing the Core Ultra 9 285K’s performance versus the Ryzen 7950X3D can be found below.
We showed some data on the 7950X3D. Based on my understanding of the performance, that part is within a couple of percents so I think we will be about 5 percent back versus X3D which we feel really really good about considering that we have just the cache that’s built within the CPU and the great IPC of the product so you’ll see about a 5% deficit, I want to be clear about that.
