Yeah I think hell will freeze over before Intel go backwards and release a new, faster CPU with new layout/architecture on an old dead platform. Some rumours as just dumb.

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

Yeah I think hell will freeze over before Intel go backwards and release a new, faster CPU with new layout/architecture on an old dead platform. Some rumours as just dumb.
If your main use case is gaming, Ryzen 9800X3D or 9950X3D will be far superior to Arrow Lake.
Intel Core Ultra 285K/265K and 245K review leaks out - VideoCardz.com
Core Ultra 200K review leaks out: “14900KS still the unchallenged king” Overclock3D has published a review of their Core Ultra 200K CPUs ahead of the embargo. The media has all three processors which are set to launch tomorrow (285K, 265K and 245). The review appears to be unfinished; hence...

Terrible CPU! Slower than 14900K in games. Very boring, will get trashed by Zen5X3D and absolutely worth ignoring considering it's a one CPU socket.

It's been confirmed it's only a single architecture. Meteor Lake was supposed to launch on LGA-1851 but was cancelled, so in effect Arrow Lake should have been the final CPU on this platform. Now it's the last.
Though if Nova Lake (the next gen) is going to only release in 2026, I can see Intel refreshing Arrow Lake with a +200Mhz bump and calling that Ultra9 385k or something silly. Not going to see any meaningful improvement on LGA-1851.
Yeap - yet another reason to consign Arrow Lake/LGA1851 one achitecture platform to the bin.
Leaked roadmaps show LGA-1851 is a two generation platform. Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake. Problem is, Meteor Lake should have launched a year ago, but was cancelled as it was a bit crap. So that just leaves Arrow Lake as the only CPU 'generation' on this platform.
I'm sure Intel will release a "refresh" of Arrow Lake, but this will only be a small clock speed bump, with no architecture change or improvement, so is doomed from the start. Reviews will prob be a little better as they'll have more games with the Intel gaming profile nonsense.
Yeah they were directly asked this recently - they'd have 10000% said if LGA-1851 would be compatible with Nova Lake/Intel's X3D CPU, so we know it's 100% not.
LGA-1700 ended up having 3 'generations', Alder Lake, Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh. Though this is out of stupidity rather than generosity from Intel.
I'm sure the motherboard vendors were furious with having to issue the millionth UEFI update for Z690 boards
I'd not be surprised if Intel even cancel the plans for Arrow Lake 'refresh' (200Mhz clock speed bump) and just go straight to Nova Lake. Though it's going to be a long 2025 as Nova Lake is estimated as 2H 2026.....
LGA-1851/Z890 will go the way of Z590 IMO, single generation boards. Just look at the premium boards, all full of stock for this time of year, madness. First it's cashback, next it'll be 50% off. I just feel sorry for anyone who bought into this platform, then again they should have done the sensible thing and waited for reviews!
Zen5X3D will reign supreme for so many years! Can't wait to get a 9950X3D when they're released

Arrow Lake would be 15-25W lower at idle. Though it's an absolute turd of a CPU, I'd not recommend a sidegrade from a 9800X3D.

Zen5X3D still smashes Arrow Lake to pieces in gaming, that's assuming Intel's figures are even remotely accurate.
I wonder how much $$ Intel are going to have to pay reviewers to take the time do another round of reviews for Arrow Lake, or if they'll even bother.
285k performance re-tested, gaming is now faster, though still behind the 14900k. Still missing the January 2025 bios updates
Arrow Lake Retested with Latest 24H2 Updates and 0x114 Microcode
Yesterday, Intel announced that they had root-caused the majority of Arrow Lake Core Ultra 200 performance problems, and that OS updates are already available. We tested Windows 11 24H2 with the new patches, and also compare results with 23H2 and a new motherboard BIOS.www.techpowerup.com
As expected, Arrow Lake is still Arrow Lake. Can't polish a turd. RIP z890 platform.
Hope Nova Lake gives AMD some competition - need 16 core CCX!
Best hope for Intel at CES is a sneak peak of Nova Lake (16th gen). There's no fixing Arrow Lake - it'll never get close to the competition (Zen5X3D).
