Intel is planning to debut its next-generation Arrow Lake-S “Core Ultra 200” desktop CPUs on October 10, according to Bench life.
Intel to take on AMD Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs in October with its next-gen Arrow Lake-S “Core Ultra 200” desktop CPUs
Intel’s Arrow Lake-S CPU platform will be the next major release for its desktop family, featuring an all-new architecture and an all-new socket. Benchlife has reported that Intel will announce its Arrow Lake-S “Core Ultra 200” desktop CPUs on October 10th. The report doesn’t clarify whether this will be an announcement or a hard launch, but based on previous releases, it’s likely that the actual retail launch will happen a few weeks later as the company wants to show the public what its latest offerings have to offer desktop consumers.
Although the Intel Innovation 2024 event has been postponed, the Arrow Lake-S for desktop computers, also known as Intel Core Ultra 2-series processors, according to the information we have obtained, Intel currently plans to launch it on October 10.
Based on what we know about Arrow Lake-S, next-generation Intel Desktop CPUs will adopt the Core Ultra 200 naming scheme and will initially launch in “K” flavors, which would include the Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K and Core Ultra 5 245K. These CPUs will be accompanied by the Z890 series motherboards that will feature the new LGA 1851 socket.
As for the architecture, Intel’s Arrow Lake-S “Core Ultra 200” desktop CPUs will feature the new Lion Cove P-Core and Skymont E-Core architecture. The chips will feature up to four tiles that include Compute Tile, SOC Tile, IO Tile, and Graphics Tile. The GPU side will be powered by the new Alchemist Xe-LPG graphics architecture.
In terms of specifications, the Intel Arrow Lake-S “Core Ultra 200” lineup will feature up to 24 cores and 24 threads with hyper-threading support being dropped from this generation. The CPUs will have 33MB of L3 cache and increased L2 caches.
Damn, I’m late.
I wanted to wait one more day for QS week. https://t.co/veLt4K0eb8 photo.twitter.com/YHbepLWkYY— Jaykihn (@jaykihn0) August 18, 2024
Clock speeds will be set up to 5.7 GHz on the top SKU (Core Ultra 9 285K) and although the TDP limits are considered the same (as in 125W PL1 and 253W PL2), the actual power consumption is stated as 100W less than current-gen Raptor Lake CPUs. Jay Kihn- his name is Jay Kihn. also revealed the clocks for various Core Ultra 200 SKUs, as shown in the table below:
Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPU Lineup (Preliminary):
| CPU Name | Architecture (P/E) | Cores/Threads | P-Core Boost / All Cores | E-Core Boost | Cache (L3) | TDP (PL1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core Ultra 9 285K | Lion Cove / Skymont | 24/24 | 5.7/5.4GHz | 4.6 GHz | 36 MB | 125 W |
| Core Ultra 7 265K | Lion Cove / Skymont | 20/20 | 5.5/5.2GHz | 4.6 GHz | 33 MB | 125 W |
| Core Ultra 5 245K | Lion Cove / Skymont | 14/14 | 5.0/5.2GHz | 4.6 GHz | 24 MB | 125 W |
| Ultra Core 9 275 | Lion Cove / Skymont | To be defined | To be defined | To be defined | To be defined | 65 W? |
| Ultra Core 7 255 | Lion Cove / Skymont | 20/20? | To be defined | To be defined | To be defined | 65 W? |
| Ultra Core 5 240 | Lion Cove / Skymont | 10/10? | To be defined | To be defined | To be defined | 65 W? |
Recent reports have also stated that Arrow Lake-S CPUs will not experience instability issues like the ones several users are facing 14th and 13th generation chips.
With the launch set for October 10, we can expect Intel to share more information about the Arrow Lake-S “Core Ultra 200” desktop CPUs soon. The company hasn’t changed its plans for their launches despite their precarious financial situation and with Lunar Lake will be released on September 3rdwe get to hear a bit more about Arrow Lake desktop parts at that time.
