Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285K CPU is one step forward, one step back for PC gaming
Intel has favored efficiency over PC gaming performance for the Ultra 9 285K.
It runs cooler and a little faster than Intel’s Core i9-14900K in non-gaming tasks, but it falls flat in PC gaming:in many titles, it provides worse performance than the 14th Gen chips it was designed to replace. Intel is using its latest 3D packaging technology and Arrow Lake architecture to increase the power efficiencyof the Ultra 9 285K, a big departure from the hot and power-hungry 13th and 14th Gen desktop CPUs. “The nature of the process technology and the design of the SoC made it so that our focus for this generation was to catch up and get into a leadership position in performance per watt,” says Intel spokesperson Mark Anthony Ramirez.
