The Intel Core Ultra 9 285 is neck and neck against the unlocked Core i9-14900K, based on leaked benchmarks over at Geekbench. As highlighted by Benchleaks on X, the Core Ultra 9 285 is an upcoming Arrow Lake processor with a TDP of 65W, falling in the non-K category of CPUs. Despite being power-limited, the Core Ultra 9 285 easily catches up to the last generation's flagship Core i9-14900K.
The Core Ultra 9 285 packs 24 cores, divided into eight P-cores based on Lion Cove and 16 E-cores based on Skymont. Much like its unlocked counterpart, the 285 hosts a total of 76MB of total cache (40MB L2 + 36MB L3). In line with a previous benchmark, the Core Ultra 9 285 has a boost clock of 5.6 GHz, which is quite the feat as it is just 100 MHz lower than its K-equivalent.
