Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU Review

A Plague Tale

Follow the grim tale of young Amicia and her little brother Hugo, in a heartrending journey through the darkest hours of history. Hunted by Inquisition soldiers and surrounded by unstoppable swarms of rats, Amicia and Hugo will come to know and trust each other. As they struggle to survive against overwhelming odds, they will fight to find purpose in this brutal, unforgiving world.

Available now on Steam.

Our first game up is A Plague Tale: Requiem where all 3 CPUs give us an uplift compared to the previous generation. The uplift on the U5 is the strongest at 8%, while as we move up the stack, it does taper off somewhat with a 6% improvement for the U7 265K, and a slightly lower, but still welcomed 5% on the U9, though with figures coming in nigh on identically, we are being held back somewhat. Something that didn’t seem to be a problem for AMD which already held a strong lead over the 14th gen, but now further improves that, with our best performance coming in from the 9950X, which sits around 8% faster than Intel’s newest offerings.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
