Intel Core Ultra 9 285K "Arrow Lake" CPU overclocked to nearly 7.5GHz

What conscionable happened? Intel launched its caller Core Ultra 200 bid "Arrow Lake" desktop CPUs earlier this week, and utmost overclockers are already pushing nan chips to their limits. Renowned overclocking master Elmor, who serves arsenic Asus' in-house overclocking specialist, has group a caller utmost overclocking world grounds pinch nan flagship Core Ultra 9 285K, reaching astir 7.5 GHz.

Asus said nan Core Ultra 9 285K successful mobility was overclocked to an unthinkable 7,488.8 MHz utilizing nan ROG Maximus Z890 APEX motherboard – astir 1.8 GHz supra nan 285K's default boost timepiece of 5.7 GHz.

The overclocked CPU group grounds scores crossed aggregate benchmarking applications, including 3DMark CPU Profile successful 1T, 2T, 4T, and 8T tests. Additionally, it reached an awesome 60,840 points successful Cinebench R23.

The ROG Maximus Z890 APEX besides helped overclocker BenchMarc unafraid nan highest DDR5 velocity connected record, pinch nan G.Skill CUDIMM DDR5 reaching an awesome 12,066 MT/s. This is simply a important leap from nan erstwhile record, wherever nan V-Color CUDIMM achieved 10,600 MT/s connected Gigabyte's AORUS Z890 Tachyon ICE motherboard.

Other overclockers who besides collapsed nan 12,000 MT/s obstruction see OGS from Greece (12,046 MT/s), Dreadzone from Australia (12,046 MT/s), and CENS from Germany (12,042 MT/s).

With these latest overclocking achievements, Elmor surpassed his ain grounds from precocious past month, erstwhile he teamed up pinch SafeDisk to push nan AMD Ryzen 9 9950X to an astounding 7.54 GHz. That record, group connected nan Asus ROG Crosshair X670E HERO motherboard, achieved aggregate world first places crossed well-known benchmarks and real-world applications, including Cinebench R23, Cinebench R20, Geekbench, 7-Zip, and HWBot.

The Core Ultra 9 285K, Intel's flagship Arrow Lake-S desktop processor, features 24 cores – 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores – on pinch 36 MB of L3 cache and 40 MB of L2 cache. Each P-core has 3 MB of L2 cache, while nan E-cores are grouped into clusters of four, pinch each cluster sharing 4 MB of L2 cache. The processor supports dual-channel DDR5-5600 UDIMM representation aliases DDR5-6400 CUDIMM memory, and offers 20 PCIe 5.0 lanes on pinch 4 PCIe 4.0 lanes.
