Intel Arrow Lake-S “Core Ultra 200” Desktop CPU Lineup Reportedly Include Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, Core Ultra 5 245K

Intel Core Ultra 200 "Arrow Lake" Desktop CPU Specs Leak: Core Ultra 9 285K & Ultra 7 265K With 250W MTP, Ultra 5 245K at 159W 1

Intel's Core Ultra 200 "Arrow Lake-S" Desktop CPU lineup should reportedly include a total of six SKUs with up to 24 cores based on next-gen P-Core & E-Core architectures.

The rumor comes from @OneRaichu who has posted the possible SKUs within the Intel Core Ultra 200 K & Non-K CPU lineup. It looks like Intel would initially offer a total of six SKUs and follow up in the coming months with more configurations. The naming convention doesn't reveal much about the actual core configs but they are listed below:

Core Ultra 9 285K (Intel Core i9-14900K Successor)

Core Ultra 7 265K (Intel Core i7-14700K Successor)

Core Ultra 5 245K (Intel Core i5-14600K Successor)

In addition to these, there are also three Non-K Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs mentioned which include the following:

Core Ultra 9 275

Core Ultra 7 255

Core Ultra 5 240

If true, it looks like the Intel Core Ultra 200 "Arrow Lake-S" Desktop CPU family will have a very different naming convention and segmentation. The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K should be the flagship with up to 24 cores and 24 threads, the Core Ultra 7 265K should be the second-best chip with a possible core count of 20 while the Core Ultra 5 245K could end up featuring 14 cores. This is if Intel goes with an 8+16 die configuration for its top Core Ultra 9 & Core Ultra 7 SKUs and uses the 6+8 die for its Core Ultra 5 SKUs. It is also possible that all three "K" SKUs feature the 8+16 die while the Non-K SKUs can end up using the 6+8 die.

This is just speculation at this point but these naming schemes are interesting nonetheless. The Intel Core Ultra 240F has already been reported to utilize both 8+16 and 6+8 dies in H0 & C0 configurations. With that said, we know that Intel's Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs will utilize the new Lion Cove P-Core architecture and the Skymont E-Core architecture.

Following is what we know about Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs so far:

LGA 1851 Socket Longevity Planned Uptill 2026

DDR5 Only Compatibility, No DDR4 Support

Kicks off With 800-Series Motherboards

Support For Up To DDR5-6400 Memory (Native JEDEC)

Increased PCIe Gen 5.0 Lanes Through CPU & PCH

Arrow Lake-S First Desktop Family Supported (DIY)

Arrow Lake-S CPUs feature 3 MB L2 Cache Per P-Core

Arrow Lake-S CPUs feature Alchemist iGPUs

Arrow Lake-S CPUs feature 8+16, 6+8 CPU SKUs

Arrow Lake-S 8+16 (24 Cores)

Arrow Lake-S 6+8 (14 Cores)

No Hyper-Threading Support(?)

Launching In 2H 2024

Intel's Arrow Lake-S "Core Ultra 200" Desktop CPUs will be launching later this year with a formal announcement expected at Computex 2024 in early June. The CPUs will be hitting the LGA 1851 socket & will be incorporating several next-gen technologies so expect lots of desktop action in the second half of this year from AMD & Intel.
