We tested Intel's latest Lunar Lake GPU in the Core Ultra 9 288V to see how it stacks up against both the previous generation Meteor Lake graphics as well as AMD's Ryzen AI graphics, Radeon 890M ...

AMD and Intel use slightly different numbers for power, but the Core i9-14900K still sucks down more watts. The Ryzen 9 9950X tops out at 170 watts, while the Core i9-14900K can climb up to 253W.

Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285K CPU is one step forward, one step back for PC gaming Intel’s flagship Core Ultra 200S-series processor runs more efficiently, but PC gaming performance is disappointing.

AMD's chip saw better performance in Cyberpunk 2077, DOTA 2, and Fortnite. Performance figures Core i9-14900K vs. Ryzen 9 7950X3D DOTA 2: 77% Fortnite: 82% Cyberpunk 2077: 89% League of Legends: 94% ...

Intel promises double the performance-per-watt in gaming, too. The slide above shows the Core Ultra 9 288V beating the Core Ultra 7 165H soundly in games while drawing as much as 35% less power.

Specs for the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX include 24 cores (8 performance cores, 16 efficient cores), 24 threads and a max speed of 5.4 GHz.

Intel may not have improved gaming performance on the Core Ultra 9 285K, but its goal was to improve efficiency. And true to its word, there are some big improvements in temperature and power draw.
