I've used both the 285K and 9950X3D, and I have had both CPUs over 200W, depending on the state of tune.

Intel Core Ultra 9 285k 'Arrow Lake' Discussion/News ("15th gen") on LGA-1851
- Thread starter Dave2150
- Start date
I've used both the 285K and 9950X3D, and I have had both CPUs over 200W, depending on the state of tune.
I've always found the Frostbite engine to be very RAM sensitive and loves bandwidth. It's often a better RAM / Cache test than the likes of Karhu etc...
In its default configuration (i.e without the user.cfg tweaks), it will use up to 28 cores if I remember correctly, which you can see by loading some of the console stats.
I can't remember if this has been posted: https://chipsandcheese.com/p/examining-intels-arrow-lake-at-the
As it highlights where the errors are with Arrow Lake, it does all boil down to the interconnect speeds and L3 cache speed. This is also where the Intel 200S Boost will aid the ARL CPUs, as it clocks the NGU and D2D to a ratio of 32, which brings quite a good uplift in performance while paired with RAM, which keeps the values under 1.4 on the VDD/Q

Tried the Corsair HX1500i with direct motherboard connection and it actually shows about 15-20 watts higher than the wall power meter. I don't know what to trust now. It seems like the PSU reading should be more accurate, shouldn't it?
Depends a bit on the wall power meter - they vary from reasonably accurate to not at all accurate and some average over quite a long time period compared to the PSU reading which is often instantaneous.
Arrow Lake refresh (disappointing clock speed bump only) delayed to 2026, will probably launch just a few months before Nova Lake.

"bUt its grEat valUe in AdoBe AfTereFfeCts" So what? if that mattered you would have to remind me, you wouldn't have to keep making blogs about how good your mid range CPU's are in productivity, We know.... We don't care, if we are doing productivity we are not buying mid range CPU's, we want them for gaming and they are too expensive for what they are in that, stop fooling yourself, you cannot command a premium for these chips because they bench a bit faster in Adobe Software.
Oh wont someone please buy my CPU's.... sure, happy too, if you can make it make sense to me, i'm not paying a premium for them, i don't care about E-Cores, they are getting turned off its a CPU for gaming.
