It was claimed that Intel’s upcoming Core Ultra 200 “Arrow Lake-S” Desktop CPU series was assumed to be made up of six models, offering up to 24 cores in the next-generation P-Core & E-Core architectures. When the fact is followed up sourcing from @OneRaichu, the lineup will include a mix of “K” and Non-K SKUs and indicate more arrangements to come. Most likely, the name scenario would indeed uncover a lot regarding how many cores the clients are looking at.
The All New Intel Arrow Lake-S ‘Core Ultra 200’ Desktop CPU Lineup
These are SKUs such as Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, and Core Ultra 5 245K For Non-K versions, three probably would be incorporated, labeled Core Ultra 9 275, Core Ultra 7 255, as well as Core Ultra 5 240. The Flagship, the Core Ultra 9 285K, may have 24 cores and threads, while the Core Ultra 7 265K and Core Ultra 5 245K could have a few cores. The best models may have an 8+16 die arrangement, and perhaps the worst 6+8. Therefore, from this point of view, it probably spreads even further.
However, it is also possible that all “K” SKUs use the 8+16 die configuration. The 6+8 die could be the rest of the non-K SKUs. All these are guesses as the only “facts” are the potential die configurations, but it may point that the Intel desktop CPU name will differ a lot. First of all, the Arrow Lake-S CPUs should use the new Lion Cove P-Core architecture and Skymont E-Core architecture.
Furthermore, the Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs specifications would probably also include restriction to DDR5, starting from 800-Series motherboards, support for DDR5-6400 memory, additional PCIe Gen 5.0 lanes, and inclusion of the Alchemist iGPUs. But the Hyper-Threading support is questionable.
Intel’s Arrow Lake-S “Core Ultra 200” Desktop CP is most probably scheduled to be released in the latter half of 2024, with a public unveiling likely taking place at Computex 2024. These CPUs are set to utilize the LGA 1851 socket and incorporate various next-gen technologies, promising an exciting period for desktop computing enthusiasts with developments from both AMD and Intel in the second half of the year.
