Intel Core Ultra 9 285K box appears in leak

Intel is expected to adopt a revamped design for the boxes of its Arrow Lake-S series processors. At least that’s what the leaked packaging for the Core Ultra 9 285K suggests. Check it out below:

The box shown in the image doesn’t specify which Intel Core Ultra 9 model is inside, but VideoCardz categorically states that it’s the 285K. That’s because that’s the model that should mark the debut of the new CPU series, which arrives next month (October).

It is worth remembering some details about the processor. Apparently, the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K has 24 cores, of which 8 are Lion Cove for performance and 16 are Skymont for efficiency. The product will not have hyperthreading and its boost clock should reach 5.7GHz, with a TDP of 125W. Remember that this is an unlocked model for overclocking.

The new generation of Intel processors will use the LGA-1851 socket, exclusive to Arrow Lake. They will be compatible with the Z890 chipset, supporting only DDR5 memory. The good news is that we have rumors that the CPUs will be able to use RAM modules operating at up to 10,000 MT/s.

Intel Core Ultra 200 is coming

As is customary for the arrival of new products, Intel has not yet spoken openly about the launch of its Arrow Lake-S series of processors. Rumors, however, have long pointed to an event for October 10th where the products should be presented.

Meanwhile, motherboard manufacturers are already announcing their Z890 models prepared for the new processors. The components should arrive on the same date as Arrow Lake.
