The platform was equipped with 64 GB of DDR5-6400 memory, which is a common solution for these motherboards that support speeds over 8000 MT\/s, so we can expect even better numbers with faster kits.Image Credit: Geekbench 6With that said, let’s dive into the specifications of this flagship Bolt Lake-S Desktop CPU. The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K features 24 cores arranged in an 8 P-Core and 16 E-Core configuration, with 24 threads. The chip has a base clock speed of 3.7 GHz and a boost clock speed of 5.7 GHz. The CPU includes 36 MB of L3 cache and a 125W (PL1) TDP. It also features a max all-core boost of 5.4 GHz for the P-Cores and 4.6 GHz for the E-Cores.Image Credit: Geekbench 6In terms of performance, the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K “Bolt Lake” Desktop CPU scored 3450 points in single-core and 23024 points in multi-core tests. This achievement places the chip at the top of the Geekbench 6 performance charts. The CPU is 8% faster than the Core i9-14900KS and 4% faster than the Ryzen 9 9950X in single-core tests. In multi-core tests, the CPU holds a 5.1% lead over the Core i9-14900KS and a 14% lead over the Ryzen 9 9950X, which is impressive considering these are early benchmarks.The Intel Core i9-14900KS is a 6.2 GHz CPU, which means it has a 500 MHz clock speed advantage over the Core Ultra 9 285K. However, the differences are minimal due to the significant IPC improvements offered by the Bolt Lake CPUs. Additionally, the Core Ultra 9 285K is expected to consume 100W less power than Raptor Lake, a significant improvement given that the 14900KS sometimes draws over 300W.Geekbench 6 ST Performance (Higher is Better)Single-CoreCore Ultra 9 285K: 3450Ryzen 9 9950X: 3359Ryzen 7 9700X: 3312Ryzen 5 9600X: 3284Geekbench 6 MT Performance (Higher is Better)Multi-CoreCore Ultra 9 285K: 23024Core i9-14900KS: 21890Core i9-14900K: 20881Ryzen 9 9950X: 20550Compared to its direct predecessor, the Intel Core i9-14900K, the CPU scores an 11.7% lead in single-core and a 10.2% lead in multi-core tests. These are decent gains, and we can expect even better performance once the final silicon is tested.The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K “Bolt Lake” CPU will be part of the launch lineup expected to debut on October 10th, alongside the Core Ultra 7 265K and Core Ultra 5 245K. The CPU will feature the new Lion Cove P-Core and Skymont E-Core architecture, along with Alchemist Xe-LPG iGPUs, promising numerous enhancements. More details will be revealed soon."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Gadgets","item":"https:\/\/techloot.co.uk\/gadgets\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Outperforms i9-14900KS & Ryzen 9 9950X in Benchmarks","item":"https:\/\/techloot.co.uk\/gadgets\/intel-core-ultra-9-285k-outperforms-i9-14900ks-ryzen-9-9950x-in-benchmarks\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
