AI Summary

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285 delivers a 24‑core, 24‑thread architecture at 65 W, striking a balance between raw power and efficiency. In 1080p gaming it tops ARC Raiders at 200‑220 FPS and stays solid in other titles. Priced at $579, it offers strong value versus higher‑priced Ultra 9 variants, but its lack of full benchmark data leaves a small uncertainty.


Pros

  • 24‑core/24‑thread design ideal for multitasking
  • 65 W TDP keeps power consumption low
  • Competitive price against other high‑end 24‑core CPUs
  • Excellent 1080p gaming performance, exceeding 190 FPS in demanding titles

Cons

  • Benchmark data for Passmark and Cinebench is missing
  • Integrated GPU (64 EU) is modest compared to discrete options
  • Thread count lower than comparable price CPUs like the Intel Core i9‑14900F
  • Price sits above budget gamers, may be better served by 265K or i9‑14900F for similar performance
