Intel admits Core Ultra 9 285K will be slower than i9-14900K in gaming

Wtf, these have to be rack right? I knew reveal numbers were heavily goosed but…

They cherry picked results for slides.

They changed architecture heavily, have lower clocks and (apparently) have high memory latency. Some games will perform bad and in some performance will be "up to" 14900k level.

Better to wait for more reviews, to confirm what is going on here.
Not to long to wait. Besides, some shops are already selling the 265K, so we'll also see some user reviews soon.
 
If these numbers are true, the 9800X3D is going to curb stomp arrow lake for gaming. In terns of power, temps, performance, and price (vs 285k).
Arrow lake seems more like zen 5 non-x3d like for people who don't really game but do a lot of multi-core heavy work.

Obviously some of these games are turning up, asking the question..

..'Dude, where the fuck did my Hyperthreading go?'
 
Is intel using modular design "chiplet like" in this new gen? That would explain the bad latency numbers. They may need to improve it in the future.

Linux Creator Linus Torvalds recently expressed frustration with change proposals to the Linux kernel that are only "required" due to faulty hardware. Phoronix notes that Torvalds ranted on the Linux kernel mailing list over the last week, saying that buggy hardware should not be Linux's problem, suggesting kernel developers just say "no" and see what the "hardware people" say.
Part of the problem is that addressing hardware faults at the OS level complicates matters for developers and creates potential compatibility problems with other fault-free hardware. An example would be proposed kernel changes that will not work with Linear Address Masking (LAM) on Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake processors, which is what got Torvalds fired up in the first place. This feature allows user space to store metadata in some bits of pointers.

Any further rumors about the chip that won't have any E-cores? That one sounded like it would be better for gaming.
 
Those power consumption figures are really bad, uses more than zen 5 when it's on N3B vs zen 5's 4N.

Oh wait guys, I still need to see the most important power consumption number: Idle. 🤣

My sources tell me that Arrow Lake matches Zen 5 in efficiency while both are powered off. Take that, reviewers.
