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.

I know this is just a leak, but can someone call me when they get real specs showing that these new chips are faster, cooler AND cheaper, then & only then will I be moderately interested...
Otherwise, see the above ^
Edit: Also this line:
"To harness the full potential of the Core Ultra 200 series, users will need to upgrade to new motherboards featuring the 800-series chipsets and the LGA-1851 socket."
Is not correct. You cannot use the Core Ultra 200 series at all without the new socket. The line suggests that other sockets work but you cannot get max performance.
Ship with baseline profile
or 'Default MCE 4095W Protection off' profile ?
Not like AMD is much better with theirs and their obsession with giving higher numbers to APUs and mobile chips and then incrementing desktop parts by two to male things extra confusing. Ah yes, makes sense that 5th generation of Zen is 9000 series. Totally.

It's like back to the beginning. I like it a lot, all those digits was just like they tried to prove something, and now they don't have to.
I stand by my four year old post.
I'm not expecting all that much from Arrow Lake though. Intel keeps emphasizing 18A as the node that is supposed to enable them to return to former glory. They are barely ever even mentioning 20A and if they do then they state that it is a transitional node on the way to 18A. Going by Intel's marketing, this will be the most forgettable node ever and Arrow Lake will be a rather insignificant stepping stone on the way to 18A.
I'm definitely looking forward to 18A due to how Intel is advertising it as the one node to rule them all. They are even aiming for a 2025 release with desktop Panther Lake CPUs so it should be pretty interesting to see how Panther Lake is going to fare against Zen 5 X3D CPUs.
Zen 5 X3D should be out much earlier (my guess is March after an introduction at CES in January) and I would guess that Panther Lake will not be out before October but it should be a really interesting duel nonetheless once all the cards are on the table next year...
AMD with 9th generation is already pushing it.I think they'd have to try really hard to not see massive efficiency improvements from new architecture/packaging/transistor design/BPD/node etc., which should also translate into performance improvements.
Sure, they're losing HT on eight cores, but it's still a 24 core CPU at the high end.
On a 14900K I would personally already disable HT, since you can get better core clocks, better ring clocks, slightly lower power usage, better security, and who needs HT when you have 8 P and 16 E cores???
I've played around with SMT on/off even with a 7800X3D and it's barely noticable performance wise if you use process lasso to lock tasks to specific cores.
On a chip with 8-16 E cores?
From the leaked benchmarks of prerelease silicon they're not seeing a regression in MT despite the eight fewer threads, so I think it's going to be a positive release.
Removing Hyperthreading puts intel in a position where it has to come up with 30-32% more multi-threading performance elsewhere in the design to even maintain prior gen MT performance.
Of course I suppose Intel could just offer very good value, that's always an option.
Raptor lake has 20% or more better ST performance than Zen 4 based on synthetic testing.
After 9800 GTX came GTX 280, for instance.
Not really important tho, as the amount of letters are increasing instead..
Was cheaper version of 10(only P) cores CPU.
But now core ultra 285...Hm will be premium priced because top model?
Meanwhile in the real world while gaming, Intel uses more power with a higher clock speed and still loses in the majority of games.
