Intel introduced its Meteor Lake processors towards the end of last year. The company is also expected to release the next Arrow Lake desktop CPUs later this year. According to a leak, the first Arrow Lake CPUs will be named Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, and Core Ultra 5 245K.

Now the recent leak from tipster MebiuW on Weibo suggests that at least the Core Ultra 9 285K (which is considered as a successor of the i9 14900KS) will have a 700MHz lower clock speed than the 14900KS. The Core i9 14900KS reaches up to 6.2GHz, whereas the 285K will reportedly cap at 5.5GHz.

The Arrow Lake CPUs may offer better stability

While the 14900KS will reach a 12% higher clock speed as compared to the upcoming 285K, the new Arrow Lake CPU will reportedly still perform better. However, the difference won’t be much. The tipster noted that the 285K will have a less than 12% higher single-core performance (with a 12% lower clock speed) as compared to the 14900KS.

Actually, it could still be an overall improvement over the 14900KS. The 13th and 14th generation Core i9 CPUs are not really stable and power efficient. In fact, there have been numerous reports of the chips crashing while playing games or doing similar heavy tasks. It could be due to the high temperature.

The extremely high clock speeds give Intel chips a slight edge in performance against AMD‘s offerings. Now it seems that Intel is focusing on stability as well.

The Core Ultra 9 285K, is expected to feature 24 cores and 24 threads of which 8 cores will be based on the Lion Cove P-Core architecture & 16 cores will be based on the Skymont E-Core architecture. It is unclear at this point whether the unlocked K-series chips will also utilize 20A or go with TSMC’s 3nm process node.
