Add 36MB of cache, DDR5-6400 support, PCIe 5.0 with 24 lanes and Intel's AI Boost NPU, and this is Intel's most complete desktop processor — and notably better behaved thermally than the 14900K it succeeded, which is a real quality-of-life change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo honest comparisons\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the Core Ultra 7 270K: identical core layout, identical cache, 200MHz less turbo, meaningfully cheaper. Most people should buy the 270K. Against AMD: for pure gaming a Ryzen 7 9800X3D is generally faster and much cooler for less money. The 285K makes sense when you want Intel's fastest, twenty-four cores of production capability, and the NPU, all in one machine. 250W maximum turbo, no cooler included — plan on a 360mm AIO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.7GHz max turbo — Intel's fastest current desktop chip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 P-cores + 16 E-cores with 36MB Smart Cache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnlocked multiplier for Z890 overclocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntel AI Boost NPU — 13 TOPS; Xe graphics on board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDDR5 up to 6400 MT\/s, max 256GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Intel Core Ultra 9 285K (BX80768285K)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Cores: 24 (8 Performance-cores + 16 Efficient-cores)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreads: 24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eP-core Base Frequency: 3.7 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eP-core Max Turbo Frequency: 5.5 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Turbo Frequency: 5.7 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCache: 36 MB Intel Smart Cache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcessor Base Power: 125 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Turbo Power: 250 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket: FCLGA1851\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: DDR5 up to 6400 MT\/s, 2 channels, max 256 GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Graphics: Intel Graphics, 4 Xe-cores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPU: Intel AI Boost, 13 TOPS (Int8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCI Express: PCIe 5.0 and 4.0, up to 24 lanes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBundled Cooler: Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3 Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntel Core Ultra 9 285K processor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooler sold separately — 360mm AIO recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Intel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCore Ultra delivers flagship performance without the thermal drama that dogged the previous generation.
