Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285T

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285T is a desktop processor with a hybrid 24-core layout (8 performance cores + 16 efficiency cores) and 24 threads, built on the Arrow Lake architecture (Compute Tile 's N3B process). It launched in Jan 2025. Clocks run from 1.4 GHz base to 5.4 GHz boost. A 36-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 256 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1851 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (24 lanes). Rated TDP is 35 W. Notable platform capabilities: Gaussian Neural Accelerator, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285T scores 4,607 in single-core performance and 40,033 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 13,581 for overall performance, 32,471 for productivity performance, 30,311 for creator performance, 51,042 for engineering performance and 23,829 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,668 per core, 1,668 per thread and 1,144 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 2,296. Its performance index is 168, so its overall performance is 68% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core Ultra 9 285T scores 130,276 in integer math, 137,042 in floating-point math, 382,962 in compression, 31,901 in cryptography, 2,789 in physics simulation, 27,390 in vector SIMD, 343 in the prime sieve and 47,287 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 121% above in integer math, 199% above in floating-point math, 68% above in compression, 178% above in cryptography, 156% above in physics simulation, 77% above in vector SIMD, 412% above in the prime sieve and 109% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285T has 24 physical cores and runs 24 logical threads. It uses a hybrid layout of 8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 1.40 GHz and boosts up to 5.40 GHz.

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285T is a desktop processor, belongs to the Intel Core Ultra 9 family, uses the Arrow Lake architecture, carries the codename Arrow Lake and is manufactured on a Compute Tile 's N3B process. It launched in Jan 2025.

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285T has 2.63 MB of L1 cache, 40 MB of L2 cache and 36 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 78.6 MB of cache, or 3.28 MB per core.

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285T has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 2.6 MB, L2 at 40 MB and L3 at 36 MB. L2 is the largest level and makes up about 51% of the cache listed here.
