Intel Arrow Lake CPUs Leak Reveals Specs and Energy Efficiency Gains

Leaked slides suggest Intel's new flagship CPU offers significant power savings but marginal gaming performance improvements over its predecessor.

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, part of the Arrow Lake series, is confirmed to feature 24 cores and a maximum boost clock of 5.7GHz.
Leaked benchmarks indicate the Core Ultra 9 285K outperforms its predecessor in single-threaded tasks but falls short in multi-threaded performance.
Despite slower gaming performance compared to the Core i9-14900K, the new CPU is notably more power-efficient, consuming up to 80W less power.
The absence of hyper-threading in the 285K contributes to its strong single-threaded performance but limits multi-threaded capabilities.
Intel's new Arrow Lake CPUs, including the 285K, are expected to be officially launched on October 10, with detailed reviews anticipated soon.
