High performance in Intel`s new processors comes at a price!
Those who want performance in Intel Arrow Lake-S processors will have to take into account high power consumption and overheating.
Intel's new generation Arrow Lake-S processor series is preparing to make a splash in the technology world with its high performance promises. In this series, the Core Ultra 9 285K and Core Ultra 7 265K models stand out. However, you may need to put the case in the refrigerator after turning on the high performance mode. Because, this high performance comes at a price: excessive power consumption and heating.
Especially in the Core Ultra 9 285K and Core Ultra 7 265K models, TDP (Thermal Design Power) can go up to 250W in “Performance” mode. This means a power consumption close to twice that of a processor operating in standard mode.
The Intel Core Ultra 5 245K model comes with a lower TDP, and in this model, the TDP is determined as 159W in Performance mode. These power consumption values seem to be balanced by the performance increase offered by the processors, but such high power consumption may require users to be careful about cooling solutions and energy efficiency.
Intel states that the processors in this series will be enabled in “Baseline” mode by default. However, users looking for high performance will be able to push the limits of their processors by enabling “Performance” or “Extreme” modes via the BIOS.
The new Intel Arrow Lake-S series seems to be designed specifically for applications and games that require high performance. However, finding a balance between the advantages provided by this performance and increased power consumption will be an important decision factor for users.

The performance increase in Intel Ultra 9 285K and 7 265K models requires excessive power consumption
Intel offers three different power profiles for the Arrow Lake-S series: Baseline, Performance, and Extreme. The "Performance" profile increases the PL1 power consumption to the PL2 level, allowing the processor to operate at full capacity, but in this case, the power consumption also increases significantly.Especially in the Core Ultra 9 285K and Core Ultra 7 265K models, TDP (Thermal Design Power) can go up to 250W in “Performance” mode.
