Intel Core Ultra 9 285K 24 Core / 24 Thread CPU

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K will be the flagship CPU within the Core Ultra 200 "Arrow Lake" Desktop CPU lineup. This chip features 8 P-cores based on the Lion Cove core architecture and 16 E-cores based on the Skymont core architecture.

The chip will feature 24 threads and offer 36 MB of L3 and 40 MB of L2 cache for a total of 76 MB cache pool. The CPU will operate at a base clock of 3.7 GHz on the P-Core and 3.2 GHz on the E-Core while the maximum boost clocks are rated at 5.7 GHz for the P-Cores and 4.6 GHz for the E-Cores. The CPU will be set at a PL1 TDP of 125W and have an MTP of 250W.

The Core Ultra 9 285K will be priced at $589 US which is the same pricing as the Core i9-14900K so the blue team isn't charging more for its flagship part. The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X costs $649 which is $60 US higher than the 285K

Intel Core Ultra 7 265K 20 Core / 20 Thread CPU

Next is the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K which will be another high-end chip within the family with an 8 P-Core and 12 E-Core configurations totaling up to 20 cores and 20 threads. This chip will come with 30 MB of L3 and 36 MB of L2 cache for a total pool of 66 MB. Base clocks will be set at 3.9 GHz for the P-Cores and 3.3 GHz for the E-Cores while the boost clocks will be set at up to 5.5 GHz for the P-Cores and 4.6 GHz for the E-Cores. Once again, this chip will stick with a 125W PL1 and a 250W PL2 TDP.

The Core Ultra 7 265K will come in two flavors including a KF part. The K variant will be priced at $394 US while the KF variant will be priced at $379 US. These prices are slightly lower than the i7-14700K and 14700KF prices which retail for $409 US and $384 US, respectively. The Ryzen 9 9900X retails for $499 US which is $105 US higher than the K and $120 US higher than the KF model.

Intel Core Ultra 5 245K 14 Core / 14 Thread CPU

Lastly, we have the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K which has seen some tuning. The CPU retains its 6 P-Core and 8 E-Core design for 14 cores and 14 threads with 24 MB of L3 cache and 26 MB of L2 cache for a total of 50 MB cache pool. The base clocks are set at 4.2 GHz for the P-Cores and 3.6 GHz for the E-Cores while the boost clocks are set at 5.2 GHz for the P-Cores and 4.6 GHz for the E-Cores.

The 245K will also come in a KF flavor with the K SKU priced at $309 US and the KF variant priced at $294 US. The K variant is $10 US lower than the pricing of the 14600K ($319) while the KF variant is priced the same. The Ryzen 7 9700X costs $359 US which makes it $40 US more expensive than the K and $55 US more expensive than the KF variant.

We await these chips to appear in other retail stores too. Intel is also bundling Assassin's Creed: Shadows with these chips and there are currently a few OEMs, which have already started equipping their pre-built systems with the Intel Arrow Lake CPUs.
