The Core Ultra 9 285K is simply the most powerful Core Ultra 200S processor with the new Arrow Lake architecture. As with the rest of the lineup, Intel has a unique way of naming its models. No more generation number and busty For example, the “i” for the Core i9 14900K processor. In the future, we could see the emergence of Core Ultra 9 385K, even if this logic is not respected on processors intended for laptops.
The Arrow Lake architecture represents a paradigm shift for Intel. The race for megahertz is over, as is the race for consumption due to the precision of Intel 7's engraving. The founder and designer of the processor is turning to another, more technologically advanced founder, named TSMC. Thus, Arrow Lakes takes advantage of the N3B engraving process that delights AMD, Qualcomm, and Apple.
This change in engraving resolution and redesign of the architecture inspired by Meteor Lake processors for laptops allows Intel to keep up with the competition. According to the company, the Core Ultra 200S is more efficient in applications than its predecessor, at least as efficient in games and consumes up to 40% less under these conditions.
