The Core Ultra 9 285K, Intel’s next flagship desktop CPU, will deliver up to 18% faster performance than the Core i9-14900K, according to a set of new benchmarks that have been shared online, including a Cinebench R23 test that shows the processor achieving a score of 43,118—over 6,000 points higher than the leading Raptor Lake-S chip. This CPU is expected to launch in October, leading the initial lineup of the new Core Ultra 200 Series.

The CPUs tested include two versions:

  • ARL-S ES2 (engineering sample)
  • ARL-S QS (version closer to retail)

From a report:

The single-core performance is about the same as the 14900K which boosts up to 5.8 GHz but this was conducted in Geekbench 5 so we can see variation of single-core performance based on the application and workloads. Furthermore, we can’t say for sure if this particular sample was really boosting as intended or what DDR5 memory configuration was used as those can affect the score quite a lot. Regardless the results are below:
