Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Arrow Lake-S review

Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Arrow Lake-S Review: $589 CPU sacrifices gaming crown to match AMD Zen 5 Ryzen 9000 in power efficiency

Power-efficient but gaming deficient.

Intel's new Arrow Lake-S Core Ultra 9 285 introduces a new compute tile layout that sacrifices hyperthreading and aims to win over enthusiasts with significant efficiency improvements. While the Core Ultra 9 285K does indeed deliver on raw CPU performance and efficiency, it loses badly to Intel Raptor Lake-S Refresh and AMD Zen 5 Ryzen 9000 offerings in gaming.

Verdict: Intel's efficiency play hits a gaming snag

Intel's desktop chips aren't exactly known for their efficiency, but the company hopes to rewrite the narrative with today's Arrow Lake-S launch.

Intel's new Arrow Lake-S lineup, led by the Core Ultra 9 285K, marks a significant shift by removing hyperthreading across all models — a first since the Pentium 4 era. In cumulative CPU benchmarks, the Core Ultra 9 285K matches the Core i9-14900K and nearly reaches Ryzen 9 9950X performance levels.

That being said, we do see the Core Ultra 9 285K outshining both these CPUs in individual single and multi-core benchmarks.

What we liked in particular is Arrow Lake-S's ability to perform on par with or even slightly better than Raptor Lake-S Refresh while achieving power efficiency comparable to AMD's Zen 5 processors.

However, despite these advances, the Core Ultra 9 285K struggles in gaming performance, falling behind both the Core i9-14900K and Zen 5 CPUs across all tested resolutions.

The Core Ultra 9 285K is limited to competing only with the Core i7-14700K in gaming. This is surprising given Arrow Lake-S's built-in APO optimizations and the lack of hyperthreading, which should have theoretically helped the CPU achieve better gaming scores.

The new platform also requires additional investments in new 800 Series motherboards and DDR5 memory, and this is something that you should factor in before upgrading.

Pros

+ Foveros 3D packaging and efficient TSMC N3B process
+ Gains in single and multi-core over Core i9-14900K and Ryzen 9 9950X
+ Significantly reduced power consumption
+ Power efficiency on par with AMD Ryzen 9000 Zen 5 CPUs

Cons

- Same MSRP as Core i9-14900K
- Requires additional investments for 800 Series boards and DDR5 RAM
- LGA 1851 socket longevity not guaranteed
- Disappointing 3D and gaming performance

Price and availability

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K will be available from today at retailers worldwide at an MSRP of $589. The now-discounted Core i9-14900K still remains viable if you prioritize both compute and gaming, despite slight performance penalties from newer BIOSs.

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (currently $709 on Amazon) and Ryzen 9 9900X ($429 on Amazon) continue to be excellent alternatives without any of the Core Ultra 9 285K's gaming hiccups.

Price comparison

Intel's flagship 13th and 14th gen desktop processors were in the news for all the wrong reasons not so long ago, but all that hopefully changes for the better today. After getting off to a good start with Lunar Lake for laptops, Intel is now turning its focus towards Arrow Lake-S for the desktop.

Arrow Lake-S, or the Core Ultra 200S Series as marketing would have it for some reason, marks a paradigm shift in Intel's desktop CPU strategy.

This generation sees Intel's Foveros 3D packaging coming to desktops for the first time, the use of TSMC's 3 nm production lines instead of Intel's, a new Compute tile with rearranged Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores sans hyperthreading, larger L2 cache on the P-cores, and the arrival of the Alchemist Xe iGPU and NPU — both of which are reused from Meteor Lake.

Arrow Lake-S's Foveros packaging includes a total of six tiles, four of which are based on TSMC nodes. These include Compute (N3B), Xe-LPG Alchemist iGPU (N5P), SoC (N6), I/O (N6), a filler tile for stability, and the Base tile (Intel 1227.1 22 nm FinFET).

Having all these components on-package inevitably necessitates new power requirements and therefore, a new socket. Arrow Lake-S processors require new 800 Series motherboards featuring the new LGA 1851 socket. Unfortunately, Intel is still mum on whether upcoming CPU generations will use this new pin layout.

Along with this also comes the need to fully transition over to DDR5 memory, as these CPUs lack the hybrid memory controller present in Raptor Lake-S and Alder Lake-S.

In this review, we take a look at the new Intel Core Ultra 9 285K and see whether Intel's decisions on desktop can provide enough challenge to AMD's latest Ryzen 9000 offerings and Intel's own 14th gen chips.

The test bench: GeForce RTX 4090 is a great match for the Core Ultra 9 285K

We used the following components for testing the Core Ultra 9 285K:

  • Cooler Master MasterFrame 700 open test bench
  • Asus ROG Maximus Z890 Hero motherboard with BIOS version 0805
  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition GPU
  • 2x 16 GB Kingston Fury Beast DDR5-6400 RAM running at DDR5-6000 with timings 32-38-38-80 at 1.35 V
  • Western Digital PC SN540 512 GB NVMe SSD and 2x Crucial MX500 1 TB SATA SSDs for OS, benchmarks, and games
  • Alienware AW3225QF 4K 240 Hz QD-OLED monitor
  • Thermaltake TH420 V2 Ultra EX ARGB AiO cooler
  • Cooler Master MVE Gold V2 1250 ATX 3.0 fully modular PSU

We would like to thank Intel for providing the Core Ultra 9 285K test sample, Nvidia for the RTX 4090 Founders Edition GPU, Asus for the ROG Maximus Z890 Hero motherboard, Dell for the AW3225QF monitor, Kingston for the DDR5 memory kit, Thermaltake for the TH420 V2 Ultra EX AIO, and finally Cooler Master for the test bench and power supply.

All tests were performed on a fresh installation of Windows 11 24H2 (Build 26100.2033) together with the latest platform drivers and Nvidia Game Ready Driver 566.03.

We used the default Intel performance settings in the BIOS and set the Windows power plan to Ultimate Performance, which sets PL1=PL2=250 W.

CPU performance: On par with Core i9-14900K overall with small gains over Ryzen 9 9950X

Cumulative CPU tests see the Core Ultra 9 285K being on par with the Core i9-14900K and only slightly lagging behind the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X. This is largely due to the Core Ultra 9 285K falling behind the Ryzen 9 9950X in specific tests such as Blender 2.79 BMW27 CPU, V-Ray tests, wPrime 2.1, and R benchmark, although the differences aren't that significant.

In Cinebench single-core tests, the Ultra 9 285K manages to slightly edge out the Core i9-14900K, with the Ryzen 9 9900X and the Ryzen 9 9950X gnawing at its heels. The situation is different in Geekbench, however, with Zen 5 chips managing miniscule gains against Arrow Lake-S.

Multi-core gains are more palpable, with the 24C/24T Core Ultra 9 285K showing 4-6% gains over the 16C/32T Ryzen 9 9950X in Cinebench multi-core tests, despite lack of hyperthreading. The Core Ultra 9 285K, Core i9-14900K, and the Ryzen 9 9950X all perform comparably in Geekbench 6.3 multi-core.

Cinebench R15 Multi Loop

Like its predecessors, the Core Ultra 9 285K does not come with a CPU cooler in the box. Intel says that coolers designed for LGA 1700 should be compatible with LGA 1851. We didn't have any hiccups in mounting our Thermaltake TH420 V2 Ultra EX ARGB all-in-one cooler using the same mounting brackets intended for the LGA 1700 socket.

That being said, expect to see new LGA 1851-specific coolers that account for the presence of the Compute tile in the southwest of the package. Coolers designed for Arrow Lake-S may offer slightly better cooling performance, but your existing LGA 1700 solution will work just fine.

The TH420 V2 Ultra EX's ability to efficiently cool the Core Ultra 9 285K is evident from the consistent performance in the Cinebench R15 multi-core loop below.

Intel has opted for a radically new Compute tile design with Arrow Lake-S. No longer are P-core and E-cores in their own contiguous blocks with their own caches. Instead, E-cores are distributed in clusters of four in between the P-cores at the corners of the tile.

All cores now share a unified L3 cache that runs through the center of the tile and a unified ring bus. This design should theoretically help in moving data faster among the cores and also in preventing heat from concentrating around one or group of cores.

Intel Core Ultra 9 285K: Measured core-to-core latency
Intel Core Ultra 9 285K: Measured core-to-core latency

We used MicrobenchX to calculate inter-core latency. Core-to-core latencies go as high as 45.8 ns between Core 2 to Core 7, which is indicative of possible long latency while data moves from the E-core to the E-core.

However, the four E-core clusters seem to show minimal latency in the range of 19 ns to 21.3 ns for data transfer within those clusters.

We measured an overall median core-to-core latency of 38.25 ns.
