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

You could try installing the Dynamic tuning driver [9.0.11900.51013].

I'll check later, not at my gaming PC currently.

EDIT: Managed to install 51013 from the Z890 page but has no useful updates for the Z790 and doesn't expose CP2077, etc. optimisations which I guess are AL specific.

This one is specific to Intel on CP2077, under Settings > Utilities > Hybrid CPU Utilization has been set to P-Cores which should give you a nice boost.

Thank the lord for watercooling so I don't have to listen to that fan racket :cry: good score on the 285k from Sugi though :D

1.474 vcore I wouldn't give it much life to this cpu especially with 3 nm tsmc I have a 9700x that I oc all heart and my limit that I authorize is 1.25 maximum the 285k at 1.475 I don't even give it 1 years old and this cpu is a degrader

On the systems I've got here it variously results in no difference or a ~10% performance regression turning it from auto to prioritise P cores. No performance gain on anything pre-AL that I've got access to.
 
After 1 week it managed to sold...

Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF >5
Intel Core Ultra 7 265K >5
Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF >5
Intel Core Ultra 9 285K >10

Looked at AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, the most popular CPU sold over 75,560 units since it went on sale. :eek:
yeah thats really bad numbers for Intel

but also bad numbers for AMD, for a worldwide release they sold 75k @ 400 quid, whats that like 3 mil?
 
Obviously
so Ive googled the 9800X3D and cant see the price of this chip?
I assume it will be faster than the 7800X3D?

I mean the 7800X3D is £400

The 7950X3D is £600

This is a tough choice between these two, no?

The newer 9950X is £560


But the above CPUs are faster than the new Ultra 9 which is £550

I wonder what ppl are doing now in terms of choice
 
Well, the 7800X3D is the best CPU for stable framerates in games. As expected, early benchmarks indicate the same for the 9800X3D, which is a very similar chip, but clocked higher.

I think the overclocking could be impressive on this chip, especially with high end cooling.

I think if the 7800X3D comes down to £300, it will probably be the best value gaming CPU for years to come, giving the 12700K /KF some competition. Not accounting for the release of Zen 6 CPUs… I suppose it will depend on if they can produce them in very large quantities.

It comes down to cost for most, 16 cores are mostly worth it for production / CPU intensive tasks, rather than gaming.

I’m curious to see whether there will be new applications for the NPU over the next 1-2 years. Apparently it can be used to help with game streaming:

If AMD can intergrate an NPU into their own h/w, it will steal Intel’s thunder, somewhat.

I think Intel already does that if you have an Intel GPU. Let's say you have an Arc770 and you stream, the stream will utilise the iGPU and NPU on the Intel CPU to do the stream. Dont think it works without the Intel GPU, but could be wrong

Even the shill in chief himself doesn't like arrow lake. He says arrow lake dips like ryzen does, he says arrow lake is less smooth in windows, he says he considers arrow lake unusable or un-recommendable due to the terrible stock performance (his words) unless you are absolutely going to tune it and pump money into ram and even then he says tuning the system is not as easy as prior intel platforms and requires a guide for someone who isn't very experienced at tuning

In all the reviews we see that the core ultra 200s are bad I don't understand why people are trying to buy them here

NPUs atm are just hype. They're entirely too weak to be actually useful (outside of on marketing materials).
 
9800X3D and potentially future 9700X3D has killed any potential DIY market for this CPU outside some use cases. My guess is that Intel will focus on OEM and laptops, as I do think they are fine corporate chips. Not expecting even prices decreases.
