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

I would think that the 15th gen would not have the same issues as 14th but I could understand why people may be abit cautious and I'll keep my 13600K as its been 100% fine and have no real intrest in any other 13/14 gen CPU as a cpu or gpu running 250w is half my power supply budget. Kind of a blessing in disguise now thinking about it. :cry:

Best in slot CPU's for some end of life plaform's is kinda a waste of time as I bought a second hand 12600K for £210 while a second hand 9900K upgrade for my z370 was £240-280 and 7700K cpu's remained high for a very long time to the point where other AMD and intel options where better.
Have a 12600K and planned to buy a 14700K later but with the current issues it's pot luck if you get an Ok CPU.

No one knows really, however given the current unclear issues I'd be wary of going 15th until either 9x00 proves itself performance/value wise or Intel come out with an actual answer to the current issues.

Its probably wise to wary of anything that’s pushing a few hundred watts through a 15 square MM die.

While Intel silence is deafening (at least in the metaphoric way), the more people expressing pre-buyers doubts the more likely Intel are going to have to come out with proper statements and be forced to do something IMO.

90% of buyers will be completely unaware of the issue. Intel will likely ignore the issue until its costing them significant amounts of money and the accounts dept have run out of creativity.

if all the reviews play along and don't retest all current CPUs with Intel "safe" settings (whatever those actually are!) for the upcoming reviews and continue to use unrealistic settings then Intel PR truly are all powerful!

I'm sure things will be more clear soon on whats going on as new CPU's have warranty but some people may not want to deal with RMA'ing a degraded CPU, some may want to keep the CPU for many years, have some resell value to fund a upgrade, etc..

It's rumoured Bartlett-S CPU's are due for Jan 2025 posted by Jay85 here https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...s-15th-gen-on-lga-1851.18980945/post-37259210 This really needs to happen for LGA1700 as it will be a more better ending for the platform so unless there's anything really holding back your PC with the 12600K I'll stick with what you have for the moment as Zen 5 and Arrow Lake are due and its usally nice to wait a while for new platforms to settle.

So the Manf process is Intel 4 for the compute tile (7nm) and they still want to play the 250w game. That's a hard no from me !!!!

Mostly outsourced and very complex assembly requirements - this will do wonders for Intel's margins.

Rumours for Lunar Lake where that it was meant to have been a low volume halo part with the Intel parts possibly only made at the Oregon research line, but OEMs like it a lot and Intel had nothing else to sell in that segment. So apparently they spent $lots-many-many to get Ireland up and running.

Lunar Lake sounds like an Intel loss leader.

Why make stuff up when you can’t keep up with the basics?

It’s Meteor Lake that’s been shifted to Ireland for additional production and yes OEM’s like it a lot.

Lunar Lake is being made at TSMC and its successor, Panther Lake will be in house again. Lunar Lake was never intended for in-house.

No need for “rumours” either as all the info is public knowledge shared directly by Intel.

Leaks suggesting 100W less multi-core load. Assuming there's a performance increase as well, that will be decent. Will still put Intel ahead of AMD in terms of power consumption though - as will be ~ 220W load instead of the ~320w we see now (under worst case all core loads scenario).

Zen5X3D is likely to be far superior to Arrow Lake in terms of performance and efficiency, so this delay bothers me little!

Perhaps Intel are waiting for X3D launch before showing their cards.

Arrow lake power limits revealed including cancelled models

One cancelled model has 40 cores, 8P and 32E, this CPU had a PL2 power limit of 352watts and PL4 power limit of 667watts

The highest core count for arrow lake will be 24 cores. The 32 and 40 core CPUs were cancelled due to the extreme power draw

That's an insane power limit.

With a 4090 and the rest of the system you would not be far off 1500W PSUs

And it's 'only' 40 cores as well. If your workloads would benefit from that much multithreading you might as well get a Threadripper 7980X with 64 full fat cores (plus SMT threads now not available on future Intel CPU's) where the whole system would draw less power then that would with a PL4 mode enabled.
