The latest version of CPU-z has added support for Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs such as the Core Ultra 9 285K flagship.
Intel Arrow Lake-S CPUs Are Now Supported In CPU-z v2.10: Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, Core Ultra 5 245K "Unlocked" Chips
It looks like the CPU-z team has preliminary information regarding several Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs and as such, decided to add them in their latest update for the software. These latest updates aren't confined to just Arrow Lake-S CPUs but also see support added for AMD's Ryzen 9000 "Granite Ridge" CPUs, Ryzen AI 300 "Strix Point" APUs, Core Ultra 200V "Lunar Lake" along with some new enhancements to the overall monitoring suite. The new Ryzen support is crucial since these chips are launching later this month and there will be many users upgrading their PCs.
So coming to the Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs, the lineup was already known to feature three Core Ultra 200 "Unlocked" CPUs including the Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, and the Core Ultra 5 245K. According to reports, the Arrow Lake-S lineup in total should include 13 models such as 125K "Unlocked" K-Series, 65W "Non-K" and 35W "T" SKUs.
There will be 5 non-K and 5 T models but these 10 models will launch around CES 2025 with the mainstream 800-series boards such as the B860 and H810 series. Additional models will follow afterward such as the Xeon SKUs which will be targeted at the entry-level workstation platforms based on the W880 and Q870 enterprise/business chipsets.
So let's look at the Intel Arrow Lake-S "Core Ultra 200" Desktop CPUs that have been added over at CPU-z. First up, we have the three unlocked SKUs that we mentioned above along with 3 additional SKUs that are part of the Non-K lineup. These include the Core Ultra 9 275, the Core Ultra 7 255, and the Core Ultra 5 240. Following is the full list of models supported within CPU-z v2.10:
- Core Ultra 9 285K
- Core Ultra 9 275
- Core Ultra 7 265K
- Core Ultra 7 255
- Core Ultra 5 245K
- Core Ultra 5 240

We can also expect "F" iGPU-less variants but according to @Jaykihn, the Core Ultra 9 lineup won't include an "F" SKU since all models will be packing an integrated GPU based on the Xe-LPG architecture.
ARL-S full lineup will require more time to compile, apologies.
For now, I can confirm that the 285K, 265K, and 245K monikers are official.
Moreover, all Core Ultra 9 SKUs will ship with integrated graphics. So, no Core Ultra 9 F SKUs.

Going by previous configurations, we can expect the Non-K SKUs to feature a very similar core/thread layout (if not the same).
The Core Ultra 9 285K and Core Ultra 9 275 could feature the same 24 cores and 24 threads, the Core Ultra 7 265K and Core Ultra 255 could feature the same 20 cores and 20 threads while the Core Ultra 5 245K and Core Ultra 240 could feature the same 14 cores and 14 threads layout. An earlier report also mentioned a 10-core and 10-thread configuration for a Core Ultra 5 SKU so maybe it's the Core Ultra 240 or an entry-level SKU. We also recently talked about the cache config for the two main die SKUs (8+16 and 6+8) which you can read here.
Intel's Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs are expected to launch in October, just a month after the launch of Lunar Lake CPUs for thin and light platforms. The company will be unveiling the chips prior to the official launch so stay tuned for more information.
