Intel next-gen Arrow Lake desktop lineup leaks ahead of reveal, with 24-core Core Ultra 9 flagship on top

[DragonSlayer101]

Highly anticipated: Intel is set to launch its Arrow Lake-S desktop processors later this month, and a series of leaks have already given us a good idea of what to expect.

The information comes courtesy of tipster HXL, who posted what appears to be an official Intel slide detailing the specs of its Arrow Lake-S CPUs.

The slide indicates the company will initially launch at least five different SKUs in the Core 200S series, led by the Core Ultra 9 285K, which was recently crowned the single-thread performance leader in PassMark. The other four SKUs include the Core Ultra 7 265K, Core Ultra 7 265KF, Core Ultra 5 245K, and Core Ultra 5 245KF.

The slide also confirms several key specs, such as core count, cache sizes, clock speeds, TDPs, and more. According to the document, the Core Ultra 9 285K is a 24-core processor featuring eight "Lion Cove" performance cores and 16 "Skymont" efficiency cores. It is said to have a boost speed of up to 5.7GHz and includes 36MB of Intel Smart Cache alongside 40MB of L2 cache.

The two Core Ultra 7 processors on the list – the 265K and the 265KF – are 20-core chips with eight performance cores (P-Cores) and 12 efficiency cores (E-Cores). Both are reportedly capable of boost clocks up to 5.5GHz and feature 30MB of Intel Smart Cache and 36MB of L2 Cache. The Intel Xe-LP iGPU in the 265K is clocked at 2.0GHz, while the KF variant lacks integrated graphics.

Lastly, the two Core Ultra 5 CPUs, the 245K and 245KF, are 14-core chips with six P-Cores and eight E-Cores. They offer boost clocks up to 5.2GHz, 24MB of Smart Cache, and 26MB of L2 Cache. The 245K includes four integrated graphics cores clocked at up to 1.9GHz, whereas the KF variant once again omits the iGPU.

There's also support for DDR5-6400 JEDEC memory, marking an impressive 800MHz jump over the 14th-gen Core processors. These CPUs support up to 192GB of RAM, which remains consistent with the current lineup. Additionally, all five SKUs feature a third-generation Neural Processing Unit capable of 13 TOPS (trillion operations per second), though this is significantly less than the 48 TOPS supported by the Lunar Lake laptop chips, which are aligned with Microsoft's AI PC guidelines.

So still the p+e core nonsense, but uf it performs well then hopefully it would be good for everyone, need competition to make sure AMD doesn't just take up Intel's mantle of sitting on the same performance and charging more and more

 

[Mr Majestyk]

In breaking news flagship product is at top of the food chain. More details at 9pm.

250 Watts! Plus new 5090 600 Watt...They are insane! AMD 9950x is 170 W TDP.

This will not go away given the direction Intel has headed. Killing off HT means you need to somehow fill that multi-threaded disadvantage. Adding expensive and power hungry P-cores will not be enough.

I think it is at least a step in the right direction when you consider the previous flagship requires around 400W at its peak power draw.

I just hope that the next iteration will not add even more E-cores because we are going to end up into the 300W range. More physical cores = more power required. This is the unfortunate side effect. Hence, Lunar Lake drastically reduced the number of E-cores as compared to its predecessor, Meteor Lake.

No worries, there is 295W Extreme profile available.

TDP means nothing, its just a number often based on baseclocks. This is why baseclocks is a thing in the first place, true for both AMD and Intel chips.

You look at actual watt usage instead.

9950X uses 220W stock under 100% load, and can break 300 watts with OC/PBO

Just because 285K has 250w PL1 listed, does not mean it will draw 250 watts. It is "up to" usually.

Same is true for GPUs. Look at 4090. Has 450W TDP. In games, its more like 350-400 watts which is pretty much the same as 7900XTX.

No it does not. 9950X CPU maximum power consumption is 170W on stock. CPU will not consume more than that. Learn some basics. As I have told you, just looking at graphs tells nothing.
