The latest leak reveals Intel Bartlett Lake P-Core only SKUs, bringing up to 12 Performance cores on the flagship SKU.

Intel's Bartlett Lake for the Embedded segment, with only Performance cores, hasn't been officially launched yet. This lineup is a special one due to its focus on P cores only, and we have recently seen the significant impact a P-core-only configuration has in synthetic benchmarks. It was the Core 7 253PE, which possesses 10 P cores, but delivers Core i5 14500-equivalent performance despite having fewer cores, although a different core configuration plays a huge role here.

As we know from various reports, the Bartlett Lake lineup will also have SKUs with up to 12 performance cores, and it looks like there are three variants of this chip. The CPU lineup features several SKUs under the Core 5, Core 7, and Core 9 series, and there are a total of 12 SKUs. The leaked info doesn't reveal any detailed specifications, but mostly the SKU names and boost clock speeds. Here, we have six SKUs in the Core 5 series, but we don't know how many cores these CPUs bring.

However, the Core 7 series CPUs will bring 10 Performance cores, as we saw earlier. Our speculation says the Core 5 series will bring 6-8 Performance cores, considering we already have 6 performance cores on the Core i5 Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs, and the Bartlett Lake is aiming for a higher P-core count on its SKUs. Similarly, we have three Core 9 series CPUs, featuring 12 performance cores for high-compute embedded applications.

The Core 5 series will feature 24 MB L3 cache, the Core 7 series will have 33 MB, and the Core 9 SKUs will boast 36 MB. The clock speeds range from 5.2 GHz on the slowest SKU, called Core 5 213PE, all the way to 5.9 GHz on the Core 9 273PQE, which is the flagship chip in the lineup. So, the P-core Turbo clock is 200 MHz higher than the flagship Raptor Lake Refresh Core i9 14900KS processor.

Intel Bartlett Lake-S CPUs will only be offered in the Edge segment, but as we have seen before, a few vendors and 3rd party sellers will be offering these chips in the DIY segment, though not through any official channel.
