Intel Nova Lake 28-Core With DDR5-8000 To Be 33% Faster In Gaming Than Core Ultra 9 285K
Rumours have it that Intel’s Core Ultra 4000 Series, also currently known as Nova Lake, and more specifically, a 28-core desktop model paired with DDR5-8000 RAM will be faster than the blue chipmaker’s current Arrow Lake flagship, the Core Ultra 9 285K, with DDR5-6400 RAM.

Intel's Core Ultra 4000 Series, also known as Nova Lake, may surpass the company's current flagship, the Core Ultra 9 285K, in gaming performance, according to rumors from hardware leakster Haze. The source claims that the 28-core Nova Lake-S configurations, paired with DDR5-8000 RAM, could offer up to 33% higher gaming performance than Arrow Lake's DDR5-6400 RAM counterpart.
Haze cites two performance metrics: +8% raw single-threaded performance without big last-level cache (BLLC) and +17% with BLLC. Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (APX) could add an additional 15% performance boost, resulting in a 20% increase in gaming performance. Sources suggest that the standard 28-core Nova Lake-S with a 285W PL1 power limit would deliver a 16% gaming performance uplift, while the 28-core DS configuration with a 296W TDP could reach 33% higher gaming performance.
These performance estimates were obtained with DDR5-8000 RAM, which outpaces Arrow Lake's DDR5-6400 XMP peak speeds. However, the information should be viewed with caution as it is based on internal documents and estimates from August, and Intel may have revised them since then.
