Intel Core Ultra 9 285k 'Arrow Lake' Discussion/News ("15th gen") on LGA-1851

[smilingcrow]

I saw the comparison showing the 285 and the 9800x3d with Cinebench, obviously favouring the Intel build. But where were the gaming benchmarks showing a similar comparison to the AMD CPU..?

The title of the video clearly states that it's a build for productivity, so I didn't expect any gaming benchmarks.

The big problem we have here is while we have people interested in building on the platform, anytime anyone wants to air some thoughts. We have the usual haters and ******** jump into the thread and try and shut that down. So understandably people using the platform just don't want to talk about it on here. These haters have never used the platform, they don't understand what's good about it, and a lot of them haven't even built a system in years. It's ridiculous, but it does show you what happens when you release without the final polish on a platform, but isn't that true for a large number of hardware releases in the last couple of years?

Not sure what you are referring to here, aside from some questionable posts by 1 person not seeing anyone trying to shut discussion down.

So moved back to the 285K from the 9800X3D, I can swap between them but interesting to see how they perform on different daily tasks.

So first test Chrome open with a few tabs with YouTube playing and Discord open:

9800X3D + 7900XTX - ~190-200W
285K + 4090 - ~120-140W

Those are total systems draw from the wall numbers

Both systems have the same Vertex GX-1200 PSU / Cooling (Mora 420 / 4 x 200MM and single D5) and the Intel system also has an Intel X550-T1 NIC (with a 3D Printed fan cover and 40mm fan). The 9800X3D does have PBO+CO and 6400C26 memory as I have not even started setting up the Intel one as it only have some basic stuff done. As I have been waiting for the MC 116 to be released from Asus.

Obviously I can't perfectly replicate your usage and the GPU difference will have some implications but 14700K with Be Quiet! Dark Power 13 850Watt, 4080 Super, Firefox with about 20 tabs open, YouTube playing 4K, etc. 85-144 watt at the wall with 102 watt average using high performance power plan, 79-155 (not sure why max is higher) with 87 watt average using balanced power plan. Measured at the wall using energy monitoring plug.

EDIT: The Z790 Aorus Master is probably playing a part here as it is pretty energy efficient as 790 boards go.

Thanks and sorry I did not note your sig when I was on my phone. I can see it now that I'm back to my desktop.

Great choice, I have been largely happy with my Gigabyte Aorus Elite board, albeit Z690. It just works and does so well.
Nice memory and cooler also.
Interesting about Rust, I note that some games are also that way. AFOP, the Avatar one, utilises the P and E cores quite extensively.

I use an AF 420mm AIO, very good and temps similar to what you note, higher of course in summer.

Board has also been sound so far, No issues at all everything just works!
i was concerned that me using 3x of the NVME slots, Along with the Pci-e X16 slot( for GPU) AND the bottom PCI-E slot for my sound card would force my Graphics card into X8 speeds but it hadn't.
All are reporting as working full speeds, Nvme,s exceeding their rated speeds etc.

Turn your phone to landscape and you can see the sigs

OH, I didn't now this one either.
