Intel Core Ultra 9 285 leak reveals spec of tamed Arrow Lake flagship CPU  
and its potential performance levels

Description:
Is this a fast and powerful new chip? Well, kind of, but the benchmark 
results look to have gone a bit awry here

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Intels Core Ultra 9 285 CPU is the subject of the latest Arrow Lake leak , 
and a sighting of this processor in Geekbench gives us some purported specs, 
and a glimpse of the potential performance on offer  with a caveat. 

The Geekbench 6 result was flagged up on X by BenchLeaks, with the Core Ultra 
9 285 running in an Asus Prime Z890-P motherboard (with LGA 1851, the new 
socket for Arrow Lake processors). [GB6 CPU] Unknown CPUCPU: Intel Core Ultra 
9 285 (24C 24T)Min/Max/Avg: 5461/5579/5560 MHzCodename: Arrow LakeCPUID: 
C0662 (GenuineIntel)Single: 3081Multi: 14150https://t.co/zPyFYuKEoH September

What the leak tells us is (add the usual salt) that the Core Ultra 9 285 is a 
24-core (24-thread) CPU and this is the 65W TDP (thermal design power) 
variation. (As opposed to the Core Ultra 9 285K , which is the unlocked 
24-core processor that can be overclocked, with a TDP of 125W for PL1). 

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285 will have the same core configuration as its K 
counterpart, meaning 8 performance cores alongside 16 efficiency cores. The 
chip has 36MB of L3 cache, with a base clock speed of 2.5GHz, and max boost 
speed of 5.6GHz. In the Geekbench 6 testing the chip was paired with 8GB of 
DDR5-5600 memory, meaning DDR5 system RAM with a speed of 5600MHz. Scoring 
anomaly 

Achieving a score of 3,081 in Geekbench for single-core is not bad at all. 
However, the Core Ultra 9 285 does stumble with its multi-core result of 
14,150. As Wccftech , which spotted the above tweet, points out, that falls 
short compared to the vanilla Core i9-14900 (current non-K flagship) which 
hits around 17,000 to 18,000 for multi-core. 

Somethings clearly awry here, then, as the plain 285 will not be that far off 
the pace of the 285K unlocked version  we expect further benchmarks will show 
that. Note that the non-K Arrow Lake CPUs, include the Core Ultra 9 285, will 
not launch until Q1 2025, so arent as close to shipping as the K versions 
(but they arent a million miles away either). 

As we previously reported, we might see Intels first Arrow Lake CPUs, which 
will be those K models spearheaded by the 285K, as early as October 2024 .
