Intel Core Ultra 9 285K BOX (BX80768285K)

High-performance 9-series processors, focused on demanding tasks, including 4K gaming and working with complex projects in professional applications for video processing, code compilation, 3D modeling, etc. They are positioned as products of the highest price category, aimed at the most demanding users who do not have enough capabilities of the pre-top Core Ultra 7 processors.

They occupy high positions in benchmarks, being at the level of such models as Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Core i9-14900KS. Core Ultra 9 chips are representatives of a completely new generation of Intel processors, which replaced Intel Core chips. According to the manufacturer, the appearance of the Intel "Core Ultra" brand marks significant changes in the company's line of processors, which include an increase in the number of cores, an increase in the specific power per core, improved energy efficiency and a transition to a new stage in the development of artificial intelligence technologies.

The downside is the abandonment of the proprietary Hyper-Threading multi-threaded processing technology. The Core Ultra 9-285 (Arrow Lake) subseries includes several similar processors with a hybrid architecture that combines high-performance cores (P-cores) and energy-efficient ones (E-cores). This combination allows the processor to effectively handle high-load tasks, while providing energy efficiency when performing less intensive tasks.

P-cores operate at a base frequency of 3.7 GHz and can be overclocked to 5.5 GHz, while E-cores operate at 3.2 GHz with the ability to boost to 4.6 GHz. Support for TurboBoost Max 3.0 technology can provide a temporary increase in frequencies to 5.6 GHz - 5.7 GHz. The L3 cache is 36 MB. The maximum supported frequency of DDR5 RAM reaches 6400 MHz. Among other things, support for the PCIe 5.0 interface and SSE4.1 / SSE4.2 / AVX2 instructions is declared. To install Core Ultra 9 Arrow Lake chips, you will need a powerful motherboard with an Intel LGA 1851 socket.
