In a few days, Intel will begin selling the first Core Ultra 200 series processors, also known as Arrow Lake-S. First up are the performance models that have been unlocked for overclocking, namely the Core Ultra 9 285K, Ultra 7 265K and Ultra 5 245K (plus KF variants thereof).
Intel is expected to launch non-K models shortly after the start of the year, but in early October, the first Geekbench result appeared that showed an expected increase in single-processor performance over the current processor generation but surprisingly low multi-processor performance. Thread performance. Tom's Hardware speculated at the time that the result might be due to it being a test sample, and that now seems to be the most likely explanation.
New test result Because the processor was discovered in the Geekbench database, he writes Tom's deviceswith multi-threaded performance remarkably in line with previous expectations. In the single-thread test, the upcoming processor reached 3,247 points, which is approximately 5 percent higher than the i9-14900K and the previous results for the new processor.
In the multi-threaded test, the score is now 20,204 points, which is 2.5 percent lower than the older processor but much higher than the 14,150 points it scored in the last leaked result.
It's worth noting that the Ultra 9,285 has a normal TDP (PL1) of 65W and peak power (PL2) of 182W, while the i9-14900K has 125 and 253W respectively. This means the new processor is at least 36 percent faster per watt.
