Intel’s new Core Ultra 9 285K may struggle against its predecessor
- Intel's latest flagship, the Core Ultra 9 285K, faces stiff competition not just from AMD, but also Intel's last-gen Raptor Lake refresh core i9-14900K
- Both cores were launched at the same starting price of $590 with a difference of one-year release date
- The Core Ultra 9 285K stacks well on the efficiency side than the big jump in performance gains it promised
- Intel Arrow Lake-S specializes in efficiency with a lower power draw, offering the same performance as the Core i9-14900K, but this remains untested
- The Core Ultra 9 285K has fewer cores and lacks Hyper-Threading, but it has its own neural processing unit
- The Core Ultra 9 285K has a higher base clock frequency than its predecessor, but has a lower turbo frequency
- Intel moved from LGA1700 to LGA1851 socket with the Arrow Lake processors, resulting in memory support that abandons DDR4 RAM but supports only up to 192GB of DDR5-6400
- Intel pins its efficiency advantage with the Core Ultra 9 285K on single-core productivity-based tests
- Content creation yields promising results for Intel's Arrow Lake-S flagship against Ryzen 9 7950X3D in some tests, but uncertain against 9950X and i9-14900K
- Intel Arrow Lake-S flagship CPU may struggle to convince buyers, as cost-efficient Core i9-14900K is now $150 cheaper
