Core Ultra 285K
I couldn't find any discussion about this processor although that's not a big surprise as we all know the poor gaming performance has resulted in many negative reviews. Does anyone here have direct experience with this processor from a productivity standpoint? I'm curious to know what your experience has been.

minimum!
Core Ultra Series 9 max RAM capacity is 192 GB. That's pathetic given how powerful that dye is. Probably catered to gamers more, for servers there is better bang for the buck.
No experience of these, but I have the Ultra 5 125H from the previous generation.
Everything I watched on youtube around the series 2 were released suggested they were intended to have less performance than the series 1, but more efficient on power so that we could have even longer battery life / thinner laptops.
As for the 125H, I don't think the scheduler in Windows is very good. If I watch videos at 2x, quite a lot start loosing frames / desyncing, but they work at 1.5x or 1.75x. With performance monitor open while this is happened, only maybe 4-5 of the 18 threads are doing something. Not tried using Linux on this laptop yet.
I could see it doing well once it gets discounted a bit. I could see hetzner picking it up eventually

It does perform better in productivity tasks, but AMD is still the better buy at this time.
thanks for link, that's a great point. I was underwhelmed by the amd 9000 series release as it offered me only a 8% performance increase over the previous 7000 series in the productivity arena. I was so excited about intel at the time and it turned out it was an even bigger turd. kinda sad but I guess I'll stick with my 13900k and skip the arrow lake mess.
