**NOTE THIS IS A TRAY CPU DOES NOT COME IN A RETAIL PACKAGING NO FAN INCLUDED**

Intel Core Ultra 9 (Series 2) Desktop Processor 285T (AT8076806417)

• Architecture: Arrow Lake-S (15th Generation), built on a 4nm-class (Intel 20A or TSMC 3nm equivalent) manufacturing process. It features a hybrid architecture with “Lion Cove” Performance-cores and “Skymont” Efficient-cores.
• Core Configuration: 24 Cores (8 Performance-cores + 16 Efficient-cores)
• Threads: 24 Threads (Arrow Lake-S desktop processors do not utilize Hyper-Threading on E-cores, so the thread count matches the core count).
• Max Turbo Frequency:
  • Overall Max Turbo Frequency: Up to 5.4 GHz
  • Performance-core Max Turbo Frequency: 5.3 GHz (or 5.4 GHz depending on specific boost behavior)
  • Efficient-core Max Turbo Frequency: 4.6 GHz
• Base Frequency:
  • Performance-core Base Frequency: 1.4 GHz
  • Efficient-core Base Frequency: 1.2 GHz
• Socket: FCLGA1851 (also commonly known as LGA 1851). This is Intel’s new desktop socket, maintaining physical compatibility with LGA 1700 coolers.
• Cache:
  • 36 MB Intel Smart Cache (L3 Cache)
  • 40 MB L2 Cache
• Power:
  • Processor Base Power (PBP): 35W
  • Maximum Turbo Power (MTP): 112W
  • This significantly lower base power compared to non-T models makes it highly suitable for small form factor PCs and builds prioritizing energy efficiency and quieter operation.
• Integrated Graphics: Intel Graphics (often referred to as Arc Xe-LPG Graphics)
  • Graphics Base Frequency: 300 MHz
  • Graphics Max Dynamic Frequency: Up to 2.0 GHz
  • Xe-cores: 4
  • GPU Peak TOPS (Int8): 8
  • Graphics Output: DP2.1 UHBR20, HDMI 2.1 FRL 12GHz, eDP1.4b
  • Supports up to 4 displays.
• AI Acceleration: Includes Intel AI Boost (Neural Processing Unit – NPU)
  • NPU Peak TOPS (Int8): 13
  • Total Processor Performance: Up to 35 TOPS (combining CPU, GPU, and NPU)
  • Supports AI Software Frameworks like OpenVINO™, WindowsML, DirectML, ONNX RT, WebNN.
• Memory Support:
  • Max Memory Size: Up to 192 GB (or 256 GB, depending on specific motherboard support)
  • Memory Types: Up to DDR5 6400 MT/s
  • Max # of Memory Channels: 2 (Dual-channel)
  • ECC Memory Supported: Yes
• PCI Express Revision: 5.0 and 4.0
  • Max # of PCI Express Lanes: 24 (CPU only), configurable (e.g., 1×16+2×4, 2×8+2×4, 1×8+4×4).
• Cooler: As an OEM/Tray product, it may or may not include a cooler. Even if a basic cooler is provided, for optimal sustained performance of a Core Ultra 9, a high-performance aftermarket cooling solution (like a robust air cooler or an AIO liquid cooler) is generally recommended, especially given its burst MTP of 112W.
• Launch Date: Q1 2025 (January 2025)
• Recommended Customer Price (MSRP): Around $620.00 – $811.00 (Pricing can vary by region and retailer).

Key Features:

• Exceptional Power Efficiency: Its 35W Processor Base Power delivers Core Ultra 9 performance in systems with strict power or thermal constraints, making it perfect for SFF builds, mini-PCs, and workstations where efficiency is paramount.
• High Core and Thread Count: 24 cores / 24 threads provide robust multitasking capabilities and strong performance for professional applications and demanding workloads.
• Integrated AI Acceleration: The dedicated NPU, a hallmark of the Core Ultra series, significantly boosts performance for AI-enhanced software and features.
• Modern Platform Support: Full support for DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 ensures compatibility with the latest high-speed components.
• Integrated Graphics: The included Intel Graphics provides capable visual performance for productivity, media consumption, and light gaming without needing a discrete GPU.

This processor is an excellent choice for users who demand top-tier performance but require a CPU with a low base power for energy efficiency, quiet operation, or compact system designs, particularly for advanced productivity, content creation, and AI workloads.
