Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Flagship "Arrow Lake" CPU Box Leaks
Intel's Core Ultra 200 series "Arrow Lake" CPU generation is bringing a complete P/E core redesign and, allegedly, a new package. According to VideoCardz, Intel's flagship SKU—Core Ultra 9 285K—features a completely redesigned box with new accent colors. Colors of choice include blue, black, and gray tones with a futuristic look. At the center of the new box is grey plastic packaging that protects and holds the actual processor. As the recent leaks suggested, this SKU will boast 8 "Lion Cove" P-Cores and 16 "Skymont" E-Cores without Hyper-Threading and with a maximum boost of 5.7 GHz. All of this will be packed inside a 125-watt power envelope. While we await the official launch, supposedly scheduled for October 10 and released on October 24, we can preview the new packaging box that Intel prepared for its new CPU family.

Looks like a box.
Boo on you, Intel !
That's crazy so you have ht on some chips along with big and little cores. Lots of tweaking to get things right I assume.
I dont even bother to learn new intel chips last one is a 9600k.
I am kinda interested on what these processors have to accomplish to be a success. I get the sense that some are ok with 5-10% gains after 2 years which I find unacceptable. It'll be interesting.
You'll have people pointing at zen5 and saying well at least it's better that that but being better than the most meh amd cpu out of the last 4 generations is not what people should view as a benchmark for what a good generational uplift should be.
That being said I think 10-15% better while using 60-70% of the power of Raptorlake would be a win although I hope its better than that.
5-10% isn't going to win anything over in my book. We've had that before. It aint' gonna change a thing and its not gonna be worth upgrading to. The elephant in the room is power. Power. Power.
Because if we get that, a K chip is worth buying again, OC'ing is back for real instead of undervolting, and there realistically is a bit more to be earned than 10%. Any other result is just Intel doing their old Intel thing for the, what is it, 15th time?
This and Zen6 will be very interesting. Zen5 will likely crater in price soon making it less meh thar still doesn't change the fact that for the most part we aren't much better off perfomance wise than we were in 2022....
But I hope for intel's sake they have a product that can coast them trough the next 2 years so they can fix their fabs.
Windows 11 isn't going to save the industry
Can TPU members enlighten me, Do Intel CPU's require Window's 11 due to their hybrid core design for proper scheduling or do they work fine on Windows 10 as well?
Also I wish Intel would increase the P core count to 10 or 12, hell make a only P core Chip & market it to gamers.
Price to perfomance sucks
Generational gaming improvement sucks
It general loses to the competitors 2 year old architecture in gaming.
Software issues in windows 11.
Marketing kept flop flopping on the actual improvements we should expect even contradicting themselves in the same press release.
Basicslly blamed reviewers for the poor performance.
This is easily the worst generation since zen+ but at least zen+ pricing was good for the time and X470 was an improvement in quality over X370. Memory support was improved as well in general.
Honestly I don't think overall it could have gone down worse for them all it's done is make Zen4 especially X3D more desirable given intels stability woes.
The 9000 series launch wasn't great for the reasons you mentioned, but what we saw is only half the stack. AMD still has a chance of redeeming themselves with the 9000X3D processors.
Also with them pricing them at 400 plus initially it's really not that great and historically the R5 had showed very good gains from the 2000-7000 series which I find unfortunate how bad the 9600X is as it's going to be the most affordable 9000 series processors for the foreseeable future.
That being said consumers have to decide what's best for them. Hopefully these intel cpus are really good.
Seriously, though, why is this news? Who cares about a friggin' box?
