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

As someone mentioned the other day, here is the specific Intel slide on the tile details

Looking at reviews of the mobile chips - the low load/idle power consumption is incredible,but under load it doesn't beat AMD in efficiency.
The main benefit seems to be the reduced core/thread count, which helps it naturally use less power on idle i.e. don't need to rely on software making the right decisions.
 
It will be interesting if AMD can further evolve their packaging,etc like Intel have done with Arrow Lake. As a proof of concept it seems to be so far not too bad.
Of all the big investments Intel made recently (or the last decade) packaging seems to have been their one success. Expensive but far far cheaper than fabs!

Lunar Lake does seem to be getting huge hype and headlines but overall I expect it is very expensive to make. Well unless Intel's own fabs are so expensive that it's cheaper to buy in TSMC N3B, which wouldn't bode well for Intel Foundry.
 
Intel has been operating at a loss in the last two reported quarters:

I think they are taking some desperate measures, including changing what was quite a clear and promising plan for Intel 20a, out of the window.

But I think they need to remember that they are at heart, supposed to be a technology company, not just a company that appeals to the whims of investors.

They've managed to raise money - they're in a too big to fail spot, so one week after they announced financial trouble, they've received $9 billion in subsidies
 
"A leaked Geekbench 6 benchmark reveals results for the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 non-K variant, shared by BenchLeaks on platform X, suggest that this CPU may not perform as well as AMD's Ryzen 7 9700X. Tested on an ASUS Prime Z890-P motherboard, the Core Ultra 9 285 scored 14,150 in multicore tests and 3,081 in single-core tests. In comparison, the Ryzen 7 9700X achieved higher scores of up to 19,381 in multicore and 3,624 in single-core tests. "

The issue with those GB6 tests is RAM speed, on all the examples I have seen they are running 5600 which will lead to a lower score. The same is also true on my 14900KS running it at 5600 vs 8200+ it's a fairly sizable uplift
 
I wonder how intel troubles will affect sales?
I'm not too bothered if intel still have issues, there is always the warranty, but even so I will probably hang on as long as I can to see..

What you aren't seeing in that article is the test system was hobbled with 1, 8gb stick of DDR5 5600.
You can see it here clearly in the original article at Videocardz.
