Shane_B. Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I'm just beginning to research CPU's seriously for the first time since I built my i7-6700k based system. Its not supported by Win 11 so its time to start looking before Win 10 reaches the end. I see the new Core Ultra chips are the latest, but the benchmarks I'm seeing are basically showing the i9-14900k are almost equal performance wise and cost far less than the top Core Ultra. The 14900k is older now though. Is there any reason not to consider it for a new build? Ozone 9 Advanced really struggles on my 6700K. Will I see an improvement on a 14900k?

Jim Roseberry Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) The 14900k is a fine performer. You need large top-tier AIO cooling (forget air coolers). The Core Ultra 9 285k is slightly faster... and at lower TDP (heat). Using Cinebench R23 Multi-Core test for comparison: 14900k scores ~38712 Core Ultra 9 285k scores ~42620 9950x scores ~42871 The AMD 9950x slightly outperforms the Core Ultra 9 285k.
