Our Verdict
Intel's current desktop flagship, the Core Ultra 9 285K, brings 24 cores (8 Performance + 16 Efficiency) to Intel's newer Arrow Lake architecture with meaningfully improved power efficiency over the previous 14th-gen chips. Multi-threaded workloads — rendering, encoding, compiling — benefit the most from the high core count. It's the pick for anyone who wants the latest Intel platform and LGA1851 socket rather than sticking with the aging 14th-gen lineup, with 743 verified ratings backing its 4.7-star average.
