Product report

Description

Description

The Intel Ultra 9 285K processor is based on the Arrow Lake microarchitecture (2024).

It features:

  • 24 cores with 24 Threads
  • Maximum frequency of 5.5 GHz
  • Cache memory of 36 MB
  • Socket 1851

More cores provide increased power in programs that take advantage of the presence of a larger number of cores. Threads allow the processor to execute multiple applications simultaneously, completing tasks faster. Cache memory is a very important feature as the larger it is, the less time is required for the processor to retrieve data from the computer's main memory, significantly boosting performance. Finally, it will need to be housed in a motherboard with a corresponding Socket and does not include a cooler. You will need to purchase a separate cooler for the processor, which is essential.

Comparison with the Previous Generation

The Intel Core Ultra (series 2) have 40% reduced power consumption compared to the previous generation Raptor Lake. Provides increased IPC performance (Instructions per Clock) up to 9% on cores and 32% on threads.

New Intel 800 Series Chipset

The Intel Core Ultra 200S series processors, combined with the new Intel 800 Series chipset, expand platform compatibility, providing up to 24 PCIe 4.0 lanes, 8 SATA 3.0 ports, and 10 USB 3.2 ports. These capabilities allow users to leverage the most modern connectivity, storage, and other function technologies.

Intel AI Optimization

Allowing faster execution and more efficient resource utilization for demanding AI tasks, it offers up to 50% increased performance.

    Is the Intel Ultra 9 285K good for gaming?
    This is impressive, but with the easy or negative gains in gaming performance, it's hard to recommend the Ultra 9 285K right now if your main goal is gaming. The Ryzen 9 9950X has much more consistent performance and would be a more reasonable choice. 24 Oct 2024

    Is the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K better than the 288V?
    Both CPUs were released (or underwent first-class testing) within the past year, but the Intel Core Ultra 9 288V is significantly slower in multi-threaded tests (CPU Mark). The Intel Core Ultra 9 288V is about -15% slower in single-threaded tests.

    A great upgrade for me after the issues I had with the Ryzen 9 9950X regarding temperatures, I can finally do my job like a normal person. We're talking about a beast that doesn't back down from anything. You might say at this price it's expected...

    I was eagerly waiting for this CPU, as I luckily avoided buying the 13th or 14th, and although I am an Intel fanboy, my disappointment knows no bounds... The release was tragic, worse performance than the 14700k in many games, and in productivity, it’s not that relevant compared to the 14900k... I can't figure out who this chip is aimed at. Probably for those who want to say they have an Intel flagship and get top scores in Cinebench. Should I say it has some amazing power efficiency to be relevant for businesses? Should I say I will install it now and upgrade to the next generation? Since they will kill the 1851. Look for YouTube reviews and benchmarks, and you will understand.

    The fact that nobody buys it worldwide and they have it at such a price surpasses me... Kudos to Intel. Terrible chip for gaming. All they did was reduce power consumption resulting in terrible performance, of course. However, for productivity, it is a very good chip. If they hadn't changed the platform and it was just a continuation of their 14 series, then it would make sense. Now you have to buy a brand new expensive motherboard and of course these awful overpriced chips. Oh, and let me not forget that they will change the platform after this generation, so whoever buys it cannot upgrade in the future... Stay away from this entire generation. Intel is self-destructing
