The video compares the gaming performance of AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285K across 45 games, revealing that the Ryzen CPU is, on average, 24% faster and significantly outperforms the Intel chip in demanding titles. While the 285K shows some strengths, particularly in a few games, it ultimately falls short in gaming performance, leading the host to conclude that the 9800X3D is currently the best gaming CPU on the market.
In the video, the host compares AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D with Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285K across 45 different games to evaluate their gaming performance. The comparison aims to determine how much faster the Ryzen processor is compared to Intel’s latest flagship CPU. The benchmarks are conducted at 1080p resolution using a GeForce RTX 490 graphics card, which the host explains is the best way to assess CPU performance in gaming scenarios. The video also features a sponsorship segment from MSI, highlighting their new GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards.
The first batch of game results shows mixed performance, with the 285K performing relatively well in titles like “The Last of Us Part One,” where it is only 5% slower than the 9800X3D. However, in more demanding titles such as “Cyberpunk 2077” and “Hogwarts Legacy,” the 9800X3D outperforms the 285K significantly, with margins of 45% and 43%, respectively. The Ryzen processor also excels in “Assetto Corsa Competizione,” achieving a staggering 75% performance advantage over the Intel chip. The results indicate that while the 285K has strengths, it struggles in several key gaming scenarios.
As the video progresses, the host presents further results, emphasizing that the 9800X3D consistently outperforms the 285K across various titles. In games like “Baldur’s Gate 3” and “Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020,” the Ryzen CPU shows impressive performance gains of 34% and 58%, respectively. The comparisons continue to show that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D maintains a lead in most tested titles, with the 285K only performing comparably in a few cases, such as “Horizon Forbidden West.”
The video concludes with a summary of the overall performance comparison, revealing that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is, on average, 24% faster than the Core Ultra 9 285K across all 45 games tested. The host notes that the 1% lows also reflect a similar trend, with the AMD processor offering 29% better performance in this metric. While the 285K is capable in many games, the significant performance gaps in numerous titles raise concerns about its long-term viability as a gaming CPU. The host expresses skepticism about Intel’s ability to improve the performance of the 285K through future updates, given the current results.
In the final thoughts, the host emphasizes that the 9800X3D is currently the best gaming CPU on the market, overshadowing the 285K, which is positioned as Intel’s high-end offering. Despite the 285K’s strengths in productivity tasks, it falls short in gaming performance compared to AMD’s latest processor. The video wraps up with the host’s intention to retest the CPUs after any potential updates from Intel, as well as an invitation for viewers to engage with the channel through subscriptions and memberships.
