EXPERT FEATURES

• Pre-Installed Core Ultra 9 285K : The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K is already installed in the motherboard’s LGA1851 socket, creating a ready-matched CPU + Z890 platform bundle.
• 24-Core / 24-Thread Desktop Performance : The 285K combines 8 Performance-cores and 16 Efficient-cores, with Intel Thermal Velocity Boost reaching up to 5.7GHz.
• Unlocked K-Series Processor : Intel specifies the Core Ultra 9 285K as unlocked, with 36MB Intel Smart Cache, 40MB total L2 cache, 125W Processor Base Power and up to 250W Maximum Turbo Power.
• Z890 + LGA1851 Platform : MSI’s PRO Z890-P WIFI is designed for Intel Core Ultra desktop processors (Series 2) using the LGA1851 socket.
• High-Speed DDR5 Platform : Four DDR5 DIMM slots support dual-channel memory, Intel XMP 3.0 and motherboard overclocked memory speeds up to 9200+ MT/s in supported configurations.
• PCIe 5.0 Graphics : The primary CPU-connected expansion slot supports PCIe 5.0 x16 for current and future high-bandwidth graphics hardware.
• Four M.2 Storage Slots : The motherboard provides one CPU-connected PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot plus three additional M.2 slots with PCIe 4.0 support.
• Wi-Fi 7 + 5GbE Networking : Intel Wi-Fi 7 is paired with Realtek 5Gbps LAN and Bluetooth 5.4 for high-speed wired and wireless connectivity.
• Thunderbolt 4 Connectivity : Rear Thunderbolt 4 Type-C provides up to 40Gbps Thunderbolt transfer capability, display output and device daisy-chaining support.
• MSI EZ DIY Features : EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II, EZ M.2 Clip II, EZ PCIe Clip II and EZ Antenna simplify building, servicing and component changes.
• Pull-Out / Never Used : Both bundled components have never been used in service; they were assembled and disassembled, so the bundle should be described as Pull-Out rather than factory-sealed retail.
