Flagship Processor Multi-Core Utilization and Framerate Stability Comparison

Install the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K in the test platform, launch Splinter Cell Remake, and head directly into the performance evaluation interface. Select multi-core stress mode and run four full level cycles. Average multi-core utilization holds steady at 92.4% with peaks touching 98.7%. Switch to framerate logging and the overall average locks at 162.8 fps with 1% lows at 139.6 fps. Zoom into the frame-time curve—most intervals stay under 6.1 ms and spikes past 9 ms account for just 0.4%. Replay a dense particle and lighting nighttime combat scene; even the lowest dip holds at 142.3 fps and visuals feel exceptionally smooth. Peak core temperature only reaches 81.4°C so cooling performs excellently. Disable V-Sync and peaks sail past 198 fps—no tearing on a high-refresh monitor. Averaging all four runs shows both multi-core utilization and framerate consistency far exceed previous flagship expectations, proving this Ultra 9 processor fully masters max visual quality stealth demands with silky, oppressive performance.
