The Arrow Lake refresh that fixes the line-up's value: 24 cores like the 285K, higher die-to-die clocks and DDR5-7200 support, for about half the 285K's launch price. Close to the 16-core Ryzens in rendering and top of single-thread tests, but still behind AMD's X3D chips in games. Same LGA 1851 socket as the 285K.
