Intel will release its Arrow Lake-S, Arrow Lake-HX, and Arrow Lake-H processors for desktop and laptop computers in the fourth quarter of 2024. See, for example, the accelerated process of launching desktops and laptops, including the Lunar Lake CPs in the third quarter. For the fourth quarter of 2024, storage will be added with the Arrow Lake group, covering high performance and targeting desktop computers and laptops.
New Intel Arrow Lake CPUs
Intel offered the following information on Arrow Lake processors throughout the recent preview event. The processors will come in a few different versions, and the official appearance will take place a few weeks ago at Computex 2024. Intel teased its next-gen Arrow Lake-S “Core Ultra 200” Desktop CPU during the preview, revealing it to be a monolithic design housing multiple tiles, including CPU, GPU, SOC, and IO tiles.
Based on the prototype represented here, Intel’s Arrow Lake-S CPU die is likely an 8+16 design, encompassing eight P-Cores supported by the Lion Cove core design and sixteen E-Cores by the Skymont architecture. The prototype additionally contained presumably at least four Low-Power Crestmont E-Cores allocated on the SOC Tile and 2 or 4 Xe-cores on the GPU Tile. Intel is expected to introduce around thirteen SKUs in the Arrow Lake-S Core Ultra 200 CPU family.
The first released include the top unlocked “K” series chips – the Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, and Core Ultra 5 245K, followed by Non-K 65W and 35W CPU models. The upcoming Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs will include compatibility with the LGA 1851 socket and the newest 800-series motherboards, including a flagship Z890 chipset, often announced previously during Computex 2024.
These speculated data centers will provide native Thunderbolt 4 support and more incredible memory support via a superior IMC. Moreover, Intel’s Arrow Lake-HX and Arrow Lake-H are also expected to be available later this year. Their full release is assumed to occur at the start of 2025 after the debut of NVIDIA’s Blackwell “RTX 50” GPUs.
