Despite the new packaging, Intel has confirmed that the processor inside remains exactly the same. The material master number does not change, so buyers will still get the same Core Ultra 9 285K with its 24 cores and 3 nm technology. The Core Ultra 9 285K remains the flagship of the Arrow Lake generation, which is expected to receive a refresh later this year.
