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

Same for Zen 4 though or even Intel.

I kinda wish I’d just bought a 7800X3D months ago when they were under £300 now rather than waiting thinking I’d be getting 20% extra performance on a 9800X3D or a dirt cheap 7800X3D.

I may end up just importing a cheap 7500F at this point if ARL and the 9800X3D flop till prices settle down again.

Ryzen 7 7950X3D is £425 if you have a look around.

Overclocking still has benefits. It's just isn't as easy as in the past since manufacturing has matured greatly. What you were getting in the past was a silicon lottery due to large tolerances in manufacturing. Now there are still tolerances but they're tighter thus less headroom between chip. However there's now a lot of other dials to squeeze out performance. Another benefit of tuning is that you not only get more performance than out of box but majority of the time, it'll run cooler, require less voltage and thus last longer. So it's a win on multiple fronts.

As for gains, since we use CP a lot, here's a before and after.

Latest intel bios out of box with just xmp enabled:

Basic tune with just a AIO:

Each his own but I'll happily take a system giving me 17%+ more performance that runs cooler, requires less voltage and will last longer.

That's +17%....nothing to be sniffed at.

is the 285k pretty available in the UK? i pre-ordered one from OC Uk because they seem to be sold out in my country (paper launch?)
One of the American retailers straight up told me they already sold through their online-order stock allocation. and i dont imagine its scalpers.

From what i've heard from other suppliers and vendors, it seems like it's going to be a paper launch followed by wider availability in the coming weeks after.
 
sounds about right.

Support told me they have no info to share regarding the launch date, to keep an eye here or on their social media.

I am sure they know the release date but like others cannot say otherwise they would not be putting up Pre Orders for them.
 
oh yes i am sure they know the date, i just took it as them telling me they cannot say.
as far as pre-orders they just said first come first serve, so guessing i will be in batch 2 or 3 as i just placed my order sunday.

Is it just me or is anyone else also tired of the £600+ motherboard hype train? Get this excited about something the 99% of us would actually buy....

That specific board is around ~£1300

It all depends on the buyer's requirements in terms of features and if it fits within that person's budget.

Yeah the Extreme has an Extreme price at £1360 currently :cry:

Personally never seen the use case of this board , it's ridiculously overpriced and still a 2DPC board... for those with way more money than they know what to do with.

The last Asus Extreme board I purchased was the Z490 Extreme and that was 800-900 back then, which I ended up swapping out for an EVGA Z490 Dark. It does have a lot of features from 10Gb NICs (Aquanta based, not a fan), TB5, up to 6 NVMe's and other stuff so there is a lot of engineering for the board.

I personally normally just stick to the Apex boards now and then I just add my 10Gb NIC add-on card in and that works better for me.
