Intel Prepares Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, and Core Ultra 5 245K Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs
Hardware leaker Raichu, known for accurately predicting Intel's moves, has unveiled intriguing details about the company's forthcoming desktop CPU lineup. According to the leaks, Intel is supposed to introduce a big shift in its desktop CPU naming convention with the arrival of the Core Ultra 200 series, codenamed Arrow Lake-S. This next-generation lineup promises to deliver one of the most significant performance leaps for desktop processors in recent years, marking a substantial departure from Intel's current naming strategy—a change that hasn't been witnessed in over a decade. The Core Ultra 200 series is expected to encompass a diverse range of tiers and variants, catering to various user needs. This includes the overclockable K models for enthusiasts, F variants without integrated graphics, and potentially low-power T models for energy-efficient SKUs. According to Raichu's leaks, the unlocked K-Series models are rumored to include the high-end Core Ultra 9 285K, the mid-range Core Ultra 7 265K, and the budget-friendly Core Ultra 5 245K. While the absence of a 290K part has raised eyebrows, these names resemble Intel's mobile CPU naming conventions.
To enjoy the Core Ultra 200 series, users will need to upgrade to new motherboards featuring the 800-series chipsets and the LGA-1851 socket. Unlike the Core Ultra 200V Lunar Lake models for mobile devices, details about the desktop version have remained scarce, shrouding the impending launch in an air of mystery. While Raichu's leaks carry significant weight, it's essential to approach such information cautiously. There's a possibility that SKUs like the 290K may still be introduced, as a new KS version, aligning with Intel's traditional naming conventions. The Core Ultra 200 series promises to cater to a wide range of desktop users, from the performance-hungry enthusiasts eyeing the Core Ultra 9 285K to budget-conscious consumers seeking the value proposition of the Core Ultra 5 245K. The Core Ultra 7 265K is expected to strike a balance between performance and affordability, targeting the mid-range segment. As more leaks and official information surface, we will continue to provide updates on this release from Intel.

So many missed opportunities here. 256k. 64k. Come on Intel. At least do a 1337k
K?
Apart from the CPU, only a separate PCIe switch chip can do that. Chipsets also count as PCIe switches but AMD and Intel are careful not to reveal much about their bifurcation abilities, and they are Gen 3/Gen 4 anyway.
Golden Cove should be compared with its rightful competitors
Zen 2 & Zen3
Since Golden Cove is suppose to rival Zen2 for the time it is announced.
However, in server space, it delayed so much so it is met with Zen4.
I do have a Xeon w5-2465x and a TR 3955WX system in possession
Both are configured as server,
Xeon w5-2465x is paired with 512GB DDR5-4800 ECC RAM
TR 3955WX is paired with 256GB DDR4-2666 ECC RAM
Here is how they performed in R23 MT test under Window 10 pro:
Xeon w5-2465x : 27722 , whole test run at 3.66 GHz flat
TR 3955WX : 26815 , whole test run at 3.9 GHz flat
Put the memory speed difference aside they performed the same.
Noted that
Xeon w5-2465x TDP 200W PL2 240W, base 3.1GHz, launched at Q1'23
TR 3955WX TDP 280W, base 3.9GHz, launched at Q2'20
It is such a disappointing product
w5-2465x gives basically identical performance to a 3 year-old product,
with the only advantage being its 40W less power consumption.
And, the VMs on the 3955WX actually runs snappier thanks to its 3.9GHz base clock, compare to 3.1 GHz of the 2465x
Golden Cove cores are too power hungry so it runs slow in a strictly power restricted environment (Server Application)
When it loses its clock speed advantage it loses everything.
This pic is just a proof of possession
For this year I'm more eager to see if Intel can actually deliver on hype about efficiency and Lunar Lake can actually compete on the performance per watt with Apple. I can't beleive Arrow Lake won't be better than Meteor Lake either which IMO is just a beta testbed for the tiles approach and half-baked.
I mean, there is mechanical compatibility, and 1700 of the 1851 pins are in the right place to make contact. The capabilities of the new platform are basically the same as the old one. So maybe the pins have not been rearranged. If not Intel itself, hackers may be able to make some old+new combinations work...
This isn't a Skylake refresh.
Will OC actually work on them, or just cause your PC to crash like it does on the current gen
LGA1851 has the same physical dimensions but due to 151 more pins it is not compatible with LGA1700 processors.
I didn't ran into any of those issues being hyped right now.
you're being exaggerated by the sample size of just 1, I have a bunch of naked chip boi's over OC.net to prove you're just exaggeratedly wrong. :peace:
its too early to tell whether Arrow Lake will be a catastrophe when it launches, not a fanboi here, I own platforms from both Intel and AMD and love em.
