Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Flagship "Arrow Lake" CPU Box Leaks

[AleksandarK]

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.

I wonder how long it will take that box to degrade...... Couldn't help myself lol.

Looks like a box.

This made me chuckle

Given the non-eco-friendly materials used, probably much, much longer than the CPU

Boo on you, Intel !

 

[natr0n]

seems like good cpu

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.

Well Intels launch can't be as bad as AMD's recent one can it? wonder if they have both missed the bull this time.

They do have an uphill battle though if these cpus use a ton of power and barely beat out Raptorlake due to a frequency and thread disadvantage while being somewhat expensive that would he a huge L.

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.

Is there warranty inside?

Much lower stock power figures while maintaining performance. Simples. I want to see chips clocked conservatively and efficiently out of the box. Not this nonsensical 'we'll OC this for you K' attitude.
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?

After the 'meh' release of the 9700X really interested in a 265K. Been happy with my 5800X for 4 years but will consider a new CPU/mobo/ram combo for a winter build if things look good. Hope to hear about a 9800X3D soon but guess it's for 2025.

Yeah, it doesn't matter if someone is the most diehard amd fanboy or if someone has stuck with the blue team through the ups and downs over the last 4-5 generations everyone should want these to be amazing both in terms of perfomance and efficiency I'm just not sure we can expect either anymore and may have hit the point that only going bigger and more power hungry is the way to success.

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....

 

[FoulOnWhite]

The most interesting thing imo is the dropping of MT, interested to see if Intels thing pays off.

Enthusiast market shouldn't be as affected by the slump.
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

No, the CPU itself will be packaged in a protective atmosphere, along with silica gel, oxygen scavenger, grains of rice, rat poison, a mothball, something that looks like moss growth killer, and a lil beta source. No, the CPU itself won't start decaying before you open the sealed bag.

As bad as AMD? You mean that since Zen4 -> Zen5 uplift wasn't similar as Zen4 -> Zen4X3D, it was a bad release?

 

[Lionheart]

I honestly hope these turn out really well, competition is always welcomed, and Intel could use some positive publicity.

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.

There a lot of thing wrong with the Zen5 release

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.

I admit that the pricing sucks.

I admit that the pricing sucks.

The winners are server users and Linux users. The only bright spot of the release and for those that fall into that category awesome for them.

AMD is clearly working towards having a full stack of X3D chips. If I were a betting man I would put my money on the X3D chips being AMD's dedicated gaming CPU lineup going forward. With the non-X3D processors geared towards productivity and creative workloads.

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.

I agree, but those chips are still based on the 9000 series and any gains from that architecture.

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.

Oh my god, a box! What do I do now?

Seriously, though, why is this news? Who cares about a friggin' box?
