Intel Core Ultra 9 285 36M Cache Up to 5.60GHz 24 Core 24 Threads Desktop Processor

The Intel BX80768285 is a desktop processor designed for people who refuse to compromise on speed or versatility. It combines 24 cores and 24 threads, with eight performance cores ready for intense, bursty workloads and sixteen efficient cores that keep background tasks moving without stealing resources. From compiling large codebases and rendering 3D scenes to streaming a high-frame-rate game, the chip sends the right job to the right core so nothing slows you down.

When workloads spike, Thermal Velocity Boost can raise the clock speed to 5.60 GHz. That extra frequency keeps gameplay smooth, export times short, and data analysis responsive. A 36 MB Intel Smart Cache lets all cores grab frequently used data quickly, and support for up to 256 GB of DDR5 memory running at 6400 MT/s ensures assets, plug-ins, and large datasets load without delay.

The processor offers 24 PCIe lanes, including PCIe 5.0, so the newest graphics cards and NVMe drives can stretch out at full bandwidth. Built-in Intel Graphics can drive an 8K display, handy for creators who want to preview ultra-high-resolution content before adding a dedicated card. An integrated neural processing unit accelerates AI-assisted tasks such as background noise removal, image enhancement, or real-time transcription while leaving the main cores free for other work.

Intel Thread Director works with modern operating systems to place workloads intelligently, and Intel vPro support gives IT teams the security features and remote management tools they need in a business environment. Drop this processor into an LGA 1851 motherboard and you have the foundation for a high-end gaming rig, a professional content workstation, or a productivity powerhouse that can stay relevant for years.
