Intel To Tackle 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 the desktop family, featuring a brand new architecture and a brand new socket. It is reported by Benchlife that Intel will announce its Arrow Lake-S "Core Ultra 200" Desktop CPUs on the 10th of October. The report doesn't clarify if this will be an announcement or a hard launch but based on previous launches, it is likely that the actual retail launch will take place a few weeks later as the company wants to showcase to the public what it's latest offerings have to offer to 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 release it on October 10 .
Based on what we know about Arrow Lake-S, the next-gen Intel Desktop CPUs will adopt the Core Ultra 200 naming scheme and initially launch in "K" flavors which would include the Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, and the Core Ultra 5 245K. These CPUs will be accompanied by the Z890 series motherboards which will feature the new LGA 1851 socket.
As for the architecture, Intel's Arrow Lake-S "Core Ultra 200" Desktop CPUs will feature the brand 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 the hyper-threading support being excluded from this generation. The CPUs will get 33 MB of L3 cache and increased L2 caches.
Damn, I’m late.

The clock speeds will be set up to 5.7 GHz on the top SKU (Core Ultra 9 285K) and while the TDP limits are said to remain the same (as in 125W PL1 and 253W PL2), the actual power consumption is stated to be 100W lower than the current-gen Raptor Lake CPUs. Jaykihn has also revealed the clocks for several Core Ultra 200 SKUs as shown in the table below:
