The Core Ultra 9 285K is Intel's top desktop chip of the Core Ultra Series 2 line. It has 24 cores (8 performance, 16 efficient), 24 threads, a 5.7 GHz boost and 36 MB of Smart Cache on the LGA 1851 socket. It is built for heavy multitasking, content creation and gaming, and it drops hyper-threading, so thread counts match core counts. Reviewers find it strong in productivity and much cooler and more efficient than the previous generation, but it trails the best rivals in some games. The boxed chip ships without a cooler, so plan for a strong cooler and a new LGA 1851 motherboard.
