Brands
This chip belongs to the new "Core Ultra" branding, moving away from the "i9" label. It represents Intel's first desktop architecture to use a "disaggregated" tile-based design, with parts manufactured by TSMC (N3B node).
Score
67,385 (Multi-Core) / ~5,090 (Single-Thread). The single-thread score is among the highest in the world, making it exceptionally fast for gaming. The multi-core score is highly competitive for workstation tasks like 3D rendering and compilation.
Cores & Threads
Notably, this generation removes Hyper-Threading. While it has 24 cores, it only has 24 threads (unlike the 32 threads of the previous i9-14900K). Intel claims the new "Skymont" E-cores are so powerful that Hyper-Threading is no longer necessary for high performance.
+2
Integrated Graphics
Intel Graphics (4 Xe-cores, up to 2.0 GHz). Features built-in Intel Graphics with 4 Xe-cores. While not a replacement for a gaming GPU, it is powerful enough for basic 3D work, 8K video playback, and quick video encoding (QuickSync).
Class
This is an "Enthusiast" class processor. It is designed for users who want the absolute top-of-the-line performance for gaming rigs or professional creative workstations.
TDP Power
The "K" suffix indicates it is unlocked for overclocking. While it starts at 125W, it can pull 250W or more under heavy load, requiring a high-quality 360mm AIO liquid cooler.
Clockspeed base
The Base Speed is the frequency the chip runs at for standard tasks. 3.7 GHz (P-cores) / 3.2 GHz (E-cores)
Turbo Speed
Turbo Speed (5.7 GHz) is the maximum speed it can reach for short bursts of intense work.
Socket Type INTEL
It uses the new LGA 1851 socket. This means you must use a 800-series motherboard (like Z890). It is not compatible with older 600 or 700-series boards.
Socket Type AMD
NO
Cache Memory
36 MB Intel Smart Cache (L3) + 40 MB L2 Cache. It has a massive total cache pool (L2 + L3). This helps the processor store more data close to the "brain" of the CPU, reducing the time it waits for information from the RAM
RAM support
Up to 192 GB DDR5-6400 (Dual Channel). It supports the latest DDR5 memory. The 285K is particularly sensitive to RAM speed; using high-speed modules (6400MHz and above) significantly improves performance.
