As per the report, Intel has scheduled the launch for 10th October 2024 and the new lineup is going to compete directly with the AMD Ryzen 9000 series based on Zen 5 architecture. The Arrow Lake S desktop series will have as many as 14 SKUs, featuring as low as 10 cores up to 24 cores.
Arrow Lake S Core Ultra 200 series processors are about to be revealed next month
Benchlife reports that Intel has planned the official launch of the upcoming Arrow Lake S processors in the coming month. The date is 10th October but the report does not state whether it will be an official announcement of the CPUs or the actual launch for the retail stores. Nonetheless, Intel will tackle AMD’s Zen 5 processors with this new lineup that will be the first to feature the Core Ultra nomenclature on desktop.
While we already have a Core Ultra naming scheme available for Meteor Lake, the Arrow Lake S will follow the Core Ultra ‘200’ naming convention. The same will be followed by the Arrow Lake processors for the mobile platforms except that they will have H, V, etc. at their end of the model name. For Arrow Lake S, the processors will either have no alphabet at the ending or will end with T, F, K, and KF.
Even though Intel has postponed the Innovation event this year, it will continue with the launch by revealing the Arrow Lake S soon before the processors hit the shelves. Intel’s Arrow Lake series will have The Core Ultra 9 285K as the flagship model, featuring 24 cores and 24 threads. Since the series won’t feature hyperthreading, the total thread count will be equal to the total cores, unlike Raptor Lake Refresh.
The Core Ultra 200 processors will feature the Lion Cove Performance cores and Skymonth Efficient Cores for its hybrid architecture. The K and KF models will be overclockable and they are rated at 125W of TDP compared to 65W TDP of the non-K/KF models. The series will also have two ultra power-efficient SKUs, namely the Core Ultra 7 265T and Core Ultra 285T rated at just 35W. The whole lineup includes 6x Core Ultra 5, 5x Core Ultra 7, and 3x Core Ultra 9 processors.
We recently saw their performance numbers in Geekbench, where the Core Ultra 7 265K and Core Ultra 5 245K were spotted with their results. Both CPUs were tested with newer motherboards featuring the Z890 chipset, which will allow the overclocking of K and KF models.
