Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 Processor 285K 24 cores (8 P-cores + 16 E-cores) up to 5.7 GHz

I am a programmer who works with compiled programming languages in a large codebase all day long, and I bought this processor after seeing it at or near the top of many compiler benchmarks. Indeed, this processor cuts through my work like a knife through hot butter, and it is a joy to watch it speed through tasks! And unlike previous generations of Intel processors, it is quite easy to keep it cool even with cheap air coolers. Despite minor overclocking, the processor stays 10-20 °C away from thermal throttling even under hours of the most intense stress tests (like Cinebench). Furthermore, th

I love this CPU! Matched with 48GB DDR5 MT8400 on an Asus ROG Maximus Apex motherboard and this thing rocks! Don't let the AMD lovers get to you, this product performs brilliantly for gaming, video rendering and overall everything else. I have been building PC's since the early 90's and have used MANY Intel and A FEW AMD CPU's and for all purpose computing this one blows them away. Low termperatures (although better with an AIO cooler) and absolute top performance. The PC I just built with this chip consistantly ranks 99th+ percentile in overall performance with Passmark Performance Test.

I love Intel so I might not be the best judge but this processor is sound. Better be right. The tetracosa architecture is intels most advanced processor to date.My issue was with the intel store itself. They took way.... to long to ship it out considering. I was furious. The box is small and it was very expensive. You don't sell something like this and sit around on shipping. Its not good business because $600+ for a chip is a big deal. And AMD don't play around. Its solid fans that make your money because people have options and may not notice any difference between them

Wow, just wow. What a difference this processor makes in the day-to-day computing speed. I thought the ultra 7 265k would be great and it's pretty good but the ultra 9 285k runs circles around it. I'm impressed.

I use this CPU in my gaming and video editing PC and it's honestly a step up from my 13th gen PC. Intel i9 CPUs have always run hot and the Core Ultra 9 is no exception. However, unlike the 13th/14th gen CPUs, you don't need a crazy cooling setup to keep it tamed under both light and heavy load(though for the sake of longevity I would still get at least a 360mm AIO or a 420mm AIO). Even a giant tower cooler like the Noctua NH-D15 Gen 2 will keep this CPU cooled properly. I don't do any heavy OCing, but the only high temps I see are during heavy rendering or compiling shaders for games(which th

Listen, this thing is a beast, there are no problems about over heating/ over voltage problems, you can overclock it but you have to water cool if you want to do that, it can game very well runs cod and anything you can throw at it , but for rendering and models and ai work, it is the best ngl those 24cores are the way to go don’t listen to those reviews it’s a great chip and is worth the money as along as you can get the supporting mods, it’s so impressive that is can run 4 sticks of ddr5 at 4000hrz crazy ngl

Upgraded to the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K for a new desktop build and it’s been an awesome “do-everything” chip. The hybrid layout (24 cores: 8P + 16E) keeps the system feeling snappy even with a lot going on at once, and the high boost clocks (up to 5.7 GHz) make everyday work and bursty tasks feel instant.What I like:Serious throughput for demanding workloads (editing/encoding, compiling, VMs, multitasking)Unlocked if you like tuningIntegrated graphics is handy for troubleshooting or a no-GPU setupWhat to know before buying:This is LGA1851, so it’s a new motherboard platform (not a drop-in upg

As expected. Nothing special, but as advertised. I would buy this again.
