Intel Arrow Lake-S “Core Ultra 9 285K” Desktop CPU Benchmarks Leak: Up To 18% Faster Than 14900K

Introduction

Intel’s upcoming Core Ultra 9 285K “Arrow Lake-S” Desktop CPU has generated significant buzz, thanks to leaked benchmarks. These early results suggest impressive performance gains over the Core i9-14900K. Let’s dive into the details.

Key Specifications

• Architecture: Lion Cove / Skymont
• Cores/Threads: 24/24
• Clock Speed: Up to 5.7 GHz (Max)
• Cache: 36 MB L3, 40 MB L2, 2.4 MB L1 (Total 76 MB Smart Cache)
• TDP (PL1): 125W

Leaked Benchmarks

The leaked benchmarks, courtesy of Jaykihn, compare the Core Ultra 9 285K (both ES2 and QS variants) against the Core i9-14900K. Notably, the QS chip is closer to the final retail version.

Multi-Threaded Performance

• Cinebench R23: Up to 18% faster than the Core i9-14900K
• Geekbench 5.4.5 MC: A significant 14.5% uplift

Single-Core Performance

• In Geekbench 5, the Core Ultra 9 285K performs similarly to the Core i9-14900K, both boosting up to 5.8 GHz. However, variations may occur based on applications and workloads.

Process Node and Clock Speeds

The Core Ultra 9 285K is based on either TSMC’s N3B process node or Intel’s 20A. With a 5.7 GHz clock, it competes well with existing Core i9 releases. Here’s a comparison:

• Core Ultra 9 285K: 5.70 GHz (Max)
• Core i9-14900KS: 6.20 GHz (Max)
• Core i9-14900K: 6.00 GHz (Max)
• Core i9-13900KS: 6.00 GHz (Max)
• Core i9-13900K: 5.80 GHz (Max)
• Core i9-12900KS: 5.50 GHz (Max)
• Core i9-12900K: 5.20 GHz (Max)

What’s Next?

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K is expected to launch in October 2024. Alongside it, Intel will introduce three unlocked SKUs: Core Ultra 7 265K and Core Ultra 5 245K. These chips will be compatible with the latest Z890 motherboards featuring the LGA 1851 socket.
