Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Desktop Processor (24 cores)

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K is the top desktop processor of the Core Ultra Series 2 family, code-named Arrow Lake, with 8 Performance-cores and 16 Efficient-cores for 24 cores and 24 threads, since the design drops Hyper-Threading. The P-cores run from a 3.7 GHz base to 5.5 GHz, with Thermal Velocity Boost taking a single core to 5.7 GHz, and the E-cores reach 4.6 GHz. It carries 36 MB of Intel Smart Cache and 40 MB of L2, an integrated Intel Graphics engine with four Xe cores and a 13 TOPS NPU, and is built on TSMC's N3B process. Memory support is dual-channel DDR5-6400 up to 256 GB, with 24 CPU PCIe lanes, within a 125 W base and 250 W maximum turbo power on the LGA1851 socket.

The 285K is specified by system integrators building Z890-based gaming and creator PCs, by corporate IT buyers who want the NPU for Windows AI features in high-end desktops, and by retailers and marketplace sellers who stock the flagship Intel SKU. It is sold boxed without a cooler under the BX80768285K code and as a tray part for OEMs. LGA1851 keeps the LGA1700 cooler mounting pattern, but the socket itself is new, so the processor requires a Series 2 motherboard with the Z890, B860 or H810 chipset.

InTechnologies FZCO's licensed partners issue the contract and invoice for Core Ultra 9 285K orders. InTechnologies sources the boxed processors from authorised Intel distribution, consolidates in Dubai Airport Freezone and delivers DDP or DDU, with Z890 motherboards and DDR5 kits available in the same consignment.
