The first performance scores of the new Core Ultra 200 Series Arrow Lake processors, particularly the Core Ultra 9 285K, are interesting. In two benchmarks it outperforms current flagship chips, such as the Core i9 14900K.
Under Blender 4.2, the Core Ultra 9 285K achieved a score of 557.46 points, an improvement of 19% compared to its predecessor, the Core i9-14900K (475.97 points). However, it remains behind AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X which stands at 598.7 points. The Core Ultra 7 265K and Core Ultra 5 245K also appeared in this software’s database with scores of 471.21 points and 323.46 points, respectively.
Core Ultra 9 285K, pay attention to the temperature
On the other hand, this Core Ultra 9 285K seems to require a muscular cooling solution. The temperature readings showed a value of 101°C, which is very close to the limit set at 105°C. The verdict was an unstable frequency which was still able to reach 5.5 GHz on the P-Cores and 4.6 GHz on the E-Cores. These high temperatures are probably linked to insufficient cooling in the tests, especially since we do not have details on the cooling used. used are not known.
The Core Ultra 9 285K also found its way to the CPU-Z benchmark. It scores 909 points in the single-core test, a score lower than that of the Core i9s of the Raptor Lake generations. However, it regains its number one place in multi-core tests with a final score of 18964 points.
The Core Ultra 200S uses a new socket, the LGA 1851, which implies a change of motherboard for those who plan to migrate to this new architecture.
