Got some fairly decent performance improvements in windows with the new BIOS gigabyte posted today. Got the best scores in Geekbench and Cinebench I’ve had so far.

Update processor microcode to c0662_00000112

Could you post CP2077 numbers?

This is after the BIOS update with new microcode, the average FPS before was 169.46 you can see it here: https://imgur.com/EQ9M9Ob

Now need reviews again with new microcode bios

Make with max setting to see how perform

Preset changed from Low to Custom, did anything actually change?

lol @ all the review benchmarks being out of date already.

It kept enabling DLSS frame generation when I selected the low profile so I had to disable it, and that then changed it to custom. I think it's after I used the Nvidia app to select the optimised settings, it seems to force frame gen on no matter what profile I select.

Mmm MSI boards had the new ucode since the 28th. I wonder if somebody else picked this up or maybe the new GB bios is changing some other settings.

Edit: Wendell picked this up as well. Lower latencies

I'm good in 1080p like the one with its 265k I'm good at low like the author the only difference is who has the more recent Nvidia driver and they are in full screen so I can see clearly that the optie is identical except I have a 4070ti facing a 4080 my view is 1080p low we are much less limited by the graphics card than by the cpu

Not sure what settings they are running but it isn't massively faster than my stock 14700K, 6000MT RAM with 4080 Super - I'm assuming as per sig they are running overclocked and with tuned RAM - with overclocking and faster/tuned RAM (CP2077 loves faster RAM) I could get very similar scores.

AL is just a fail.

EDIT: I'm curious what the 14700K would get with HT disabled in terms of performance and power use vs AL in the game though.

EDIT2: Doesn't make much odds actually - just shifts the load a little to the E cores, average is about the same, slightly worse low FPS, slightly better max FPS and power use not really much different.

It would be nice if we could get some additional benchmarks with the new ucode, expecting the changes to be minimal tho.

really genuinely sorry my old ass eyes after work read he was running the 285k and your had a 9700k lol
when i seen the core info for just under £400 i was like wow, but to see it been killed be everything what are intel playing at

It’s not worth it best to wait for more updates yet as it’s still early days.

Intel Core Ultra 9 285K's in-built Arc Graphics can run DOOM Eternal at 1080p 60 FPS

The new flagship Intel Core Ultra 9 285K's built-in Arc GPU is surprisingly capable, with many PC games playable at 1080p at 60 FPS.

So a few bits arrived during the week, still missing the G.Skill CK Trident Z sticks.

Arrow Lake Parts:

Few benchmark runs which are stonk and with only XMP set:

R23

R24

CPU-Z

Intel Core Ultra 9 285K @ 5400 MHz - CPU-Z VALIDATOR

[2uc4a8] Validated Dump by Anonymous (2024-11-02 19:00:03) - MB: Asus ROG MAXIMUS Z890 APEX - RAM: 49152 MB

valid.x86.fr

My first thought on it is that in terms of power and heat are hugely improved over RPL but gaming seems a bit of a mixed bag I've only really tested a few bits.

Also a quick test with AIDA64

The latency is interesting on these CPUs, as you can reduce it by changing settings other than RAM for some rather large drops.

I think this meme is now valid:

I'm also still waiting for the Asrock OCF and other 285K stock to arrive.

Is that mounting frame needed again? Ohhh whyy

Not needed no, as they have changed the ILM on Z890 but it does help.

Just completed some baseline testing in 3D Mark, these are all stock settings other than XMP
