Compatibility — read before you buy
This processor uses the Intel LGA1851 socket and needs a compatible motherboard (Intel 800-series boards only, such as Z890, B860 or H810 — note the new LGA1851 socket is not compatible with LGA1700). It supports DDR5-6400 memory up to 192 GB. The unlocked multiplier allows overclocking on Z-series boards. As an unlocked CPU it ships without a cooler — add a compatible air or liquid cooler.

Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
The Core Ultra 9 285K is Intel’s Arrow Lake flagship: 24 cores (8 Performance + 16 Efficient, no Hyper-Threading) deliver excellent multi-threaded performance with much lower power and heat than the previous i9-14900K. It includes an Intel AI Boost NPU (13 TOPS, an AI PC though below the 40+ TOPS Copilot+ threshold) and integrated Intel Arc graphics. It requires a new LGA1851 800-series board and DDR5, and as a K-series ships without a cooler. To get the most from it, pair it with dual-channel DDR5 memory and a motherboard that matches your performance and upgrade plans.
Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You want a flagship, power-efficient 24-core CPU for content creation, rendering and high-end gaming on the latest LGA1851 platform, with DDR5 and strong cooling.
Skip it if
You are on an existing LGA1700 build (this needs a new board), want maximum gaming FPS per euro, or do not need 24 cores.
Also consider
The Core Ultra 7 265K (fewer cores, cheaper), the i7-14700K on LGA1700, or AMD Ryzen 9 alternatives.
