Fragz' verdict
The Core Ultra 9 285K dominates this CPU comparison, leading the Core 7 150U by a massive 512.9% in overall CPU score. This processor delivers significantly higher performance across the board, with its single-thread performance reaching 0.95 Gop/s compared to the Core 7 150U's 0.16 Gop/s, which directly translates to a much higher FPS ceiling in games. The Core Ultra 9 285K also pulls ahead in multi-threaded tasks with 12.7 Gop/s and achieves 99.8 FPS in Supernova DX11, alongside 11,963,538 draw calls per second, making it a powerhouse for gaming and background processes. It comes equipped with more cores, threads, and L3 cache to back up these numbers. However, with only one verified run for each CPU, the sample size is very thin, so these results should be viewed as an early performance indicator. Given the substantial performance gap, the Core Ultra 9 285K is the clear choice for serious gaming, while the Core 7 150U's lower performance and rank of 63 out of 63 suggest it's not designed for demanding titles.

What the numbers mean
The CPU score is the processor's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the processor in, and leans heavily on the graphics card. A strong processor in a weak PC gets a low GAMING score without being worse. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
