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

18A first product is Clearwater Forest and launch is expected in June/July next year, around a year after Sierra Forest. Panther lake should be Q4. There are not that many differences between 20A and 18A, and judging by the DD published for 18A it should be already a pretty healthy node (compute tile of panther lake should have around a 60% yield a year before launch). Nova Lake is probably 18AP which provides a 10% improvement in perf per watt. But that’s late 26.

Edit: and yes 20A is dead and I don’t expect a ARL-S refresh if it happens on 18A, it will probably still use N3B
Tbh, I call BS on 18a being further along then 20a.

Intel has been very quiet about 20a in general, initially saying how well it was coming along.
 
I'm sure we'll soon find out if it's this or just another scheduling issue.

Either way it's really something that should surely have been spotted a long time before release.

They knew about it ages ago I bet. But, Intel seems to want to stick to a schedule, whatever happens.

Bang out these nodes, wasn't the promise meant to be 5 nodes in 4 years? Or something OTT.

I suppose the problem is - That doesn't really count if they are using TSMC 3nm instead of their own 20a.

I wonder if the 15th gen design had to be backported to TSMC 3nm, and that explains the weird issues.

Oh, I see, In this case they are disabling the E-cores at the top, and 2 P -cores at the bottom (and it actually functions better). What a stupid design.

So, maybe if they built a P core only model (e.g. with 8 cores), it would help a lot with latency issues.

Intel apparently made a P core only 14900k. Time to release a P core only 285k?

The difference in 0.2% lows even running at default clock speeds is insane, just by disabling some of the cores.

Doesn't this mean that a 6-P core CPU like the 245K might be better value? I will look at the core layout...

EDIT - Can't find the tile floor plan for the 245K. Intel hasn't published it afaik.

Yep lol, buy a 245k, disable some cores and overclock to the moon, that's the best performance and cheapest

Well, if that anaylsis is correct. They could bump up the clocks too, and call it the 285KS, or maybe 290K.

Unfortunately, the 245K will suffer from the same issues due to having the same chip layout / SKU. But I think you'd just need to disable some of the E-Cores for that CPU.

But, it's still better value...
 
I think this is the most impressive overview of new 15th generation CPUs like the 285K that I've seen:


Lots of automated testing used to easily show the differences between CPUs.

The 285K just isn't handling games like Cyberpunk, particularly with RT enabled. The 12900K is handling this game much better.

In other games like Starfield, the 285K fairs much better.

AMD 7800X3D is 160% of Intels latest in cyberpunk at times!! WOW!! :eek:

The 9800x3D is going to absolutely rail intel this time, I mean, obliterate it !!

I was a bit put off by the lower clocks of the 7800X3D's lower clocks (than the 7700X).

So, it performs less well in a few cases.

But the 9800X3D looks like it will be an excellent all rounder. It looks like they have solved the thermal issues largely.

484-525 USD for that 9800X3D is what I'm reading.

I'd expect 800 plus AUD, after conversion plus other. the cpu im now decided on is a bit more than half that price.
=
ARL. apart from the raw games fps benchmarks. i wonder if ARL has any other inherent problems? in terms of stability?
temps and power usage, and voltage i suppose vs 14th /13th is still , to me, an improvement. especially if you can actually utilise all those higher clocked e-cores.

if its just games benchies, move along. close the book. adios.
7800x3d is power efficiency doubleplusgood.

Interesting, but I will believe it when I see it. Gone are the days when things were simple and predictable. If it is as good as the hype, then I might get one.

More likely arm or Qualcomm. Who, believe it or not, are actually bigger than intel now.

Just about everyone is bigger than Intel now.

Apple: $3.55tn
Nvidia: $3.5tn
Samsung: $280bn
AMD: $255bn
Qualcomm: $190bn
Texas Instruments: $190bn
Intel: $100bn

Nvidia could easily swallow them but wont, so could Apple and might, Samsung could do it and rumours are they are in talks, AMD could do it, lol..... Texas and Qualcomm could but not easily.

IMO all the US firms should get together and each buy a 20% or so share in Intel foundries, spin off the chip design side of it in to something independent as to avoid anti trust.
 
You know what... who wants to bet against Apple, Nvidia, AMD and Texas already musing that idea?

Whatever happens Intel are sitting ducks right now, they are vulnerable. Any one of them could hostile takeover tomorrow morning.

what a bunch of crap.

mediatek's smartphone marketshare is above 30% globally now. (double of apple's phones) and they have a marketcap of like <100 billion aud
intel's revenues are double of amd's

momentum traders are following hype to pump stock prices. (hello nvidia)

marketcap is only as relevant as what the stock holders do with the stocks. hold (for the capital ponzi value) or sell. jensen has been selling Nvidia shares like a loon while the price is high.

some nvidia "monopolisation" moves have been blocked already. " hostile takeover ". rubbish. they are simply blocked by regulation in the u.s.
