The vanilla version of Intel's flagship Arrow Lake Core Ultra 9 part has been spotted in the Geekbench browser. Discovered by Benchleaks on X, Intel's 24-core Core Ultra 9 285 was benchmarked in Geekbench 6.3.0, showing strong single-core performance but strange multi-core results.
The Ultra 9 285 achieved a score of 3,081 points in Geekbench's single-core benchmark and just 14,150 points in the benchmark's multi-core counterpart. In the single-core department, the chip holds equal performance to many of its Raptor Lake-based predecessors, including the Core i7-13700KF, Core i7-14700K/KF, Core i9-13900K, and Core i9-14900K/KF, which have single-core scores in the 2,900 - 3,000 point range. However, the Arrow Lake chip is noticeably behind the Core i9-13900KS, which has a score of 3,134 points (Geekbench doesn't have any official results of the newer i9-14900KS except for user-generated results).
