For a long time now, researchers have been working on automating the process of breaking up otherwise single-threaded code to run on multiple processors by way of multiple threads. Results, although ...

But the multi-thread performance gains should be bigger given that claim of narrowing the frequency gap between single and multi-threaded loads.

And we can confirm most of AMD's benchmark claims—IPC has improved, along with both single and multi-threaded performance, across the board, beating Intel soundly on nearly all fronts.

The new 3DMark CPU Profile is a CPU-only benchmark, will test single, and multi-threaded CPU performance with 6 levels of CPU perf.

And yet that single and multi-threaded performance allows the budget processor to rival the previous generation Intel Core i7-14700K, which is a more high-end CPU.

Despite the impressive single-threaded performance, the Core Ultra 9 285K's multi-threaded results leave much to be desired.

That means Intel has around a 10% advantage in single-threaded Geekbench but a slightly smaller 8.99% lead on AMD in the multi-threaded test.
