"Marvel Spider-Man 2" CPU Test: Core Ultra 9 285K is better

　　The well-known German hardware media PCGH launched a series of professional CPU performance tests for the PC version of "Marvel Spider-Man 2", and the test results were shocking: in the competition of CPU performance, Intel's new generation CPU Ultra 9 285K emerged in a sudden trend. Successfully defeated the highly anticipated AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D.

　　From the test data chart, Ryzen 7 9800X3D loses against the i9-14900KS and the Core Ultra 9 285K in all three key data. Among them, the average frame rate of Ultra 9 285K reaches 89.5 frames, while the performance of Ryzen 7 9800X3D is slightly inferior, with an average frame rate of only 77.8 frames. The difference between the two is 11.7 frames, which is more obvious.

　　A deep analysis of CPU performance in the game can be found that in "Marvel Spider-Man 2", higher performance per MHz (IPC) is the key factor affecting the game frame rate, and AMD introduces The proud 3D V-Cache technology failed to play the strong advantages it deserves in this game.

　　Without ray tracing, the game has relatively low requirements for hardware configuration. For example, a quad-core processor using the Zen 2 architecture (such as the Ryzen 3 3300X) can be used at 1080p resolution. Easily achieve a stable frame rate of 60 frames; the slightly stronger Ryzen 5 5600X3D is no problem, and it can also maintain a smooth experience of 60 frames.

　　However, once ray tracing is turned on, the game's demand for hardware performance has increased significantly, and the situation has changed significantly. At this time, even the powerful Ryzen 7 5800X3D is difficult to reach an average frame rate of 60 frames; at least a level of Ryzen 5 7600X3D is required to meet the performance needs of the game.

　　In this test, a CPU with a 60 frame rate can be stably provided with ray tracing on, with only Intel's Core Ultra 9 285K. With the excellent design of the Arrow Lake architecture, this processor shows super high IPC performance, and even the powerful Ryzen 7 9800X3D can only be overshadowed in front of it.

　　In general, the PC version of "Marvel Spider-Man 2" still has a certain room for improvement in CPU optimization, and may also require further polishing of developers to give full play to the performance advantages of various hardware and bring players the advantages of their own hardware. For a smoother and more stable gaming experience.
