Intel Core Ultra 9 285 specifications leak ahead of 2025 launch
A recent leak reveals specifications for Intel's Core Ultra 9 285 CPU, part of the Arrow Lake series. It features 24 cores and a thermal design power of 65W, with a base clock speed of 2.5GHz and a maximum boost of 5.6GHz. In Geekbench 6 tests, the Core Ultra 9 285 scored 3,081 in single-core performance but only 14,150 in multi-core, which is lower than the current Core i9-14900. This suggests potential performance issues compared to its unlocked counterpart. The Core Ultra 9 285 is expected to launch in Q1 2025, while the unlocked version, the Core Ultra 9 285K, may debut as early as October 2024. Further benchmarks are anticipated to clarify its performance.
