While Intel Skipped Core Ultra 9 290K Plus, It Appeared At Geekbench With A Staggering 17% Higher Single And Multi-Core Score Than Ultra 9 285K - Wccftech

Overview

A Geekbench leak suggested an unreleased Core Ultra 9 290K Plus delivers a substantial single- and multi-core boost over the 285K. Paired with the Wildcat Lake Core 5 320's strong budget performance and Dell's decision to ship Panther Lake Core Ultra 9 processors in the new 16S, these signals point to meaningful performance gains across Intel's laptop CPU portfolio—from entry-level to flagship mobile SKUs.
