Intel Pushes Core Ultra 200K "Arrow Lake-S" Desktop Processor Launch by a Week

Intel has reportedly delayed the launch of its next-generation Core Ultra 200K series "Arrow Lake-S" desktop processors by a week. Originally slated for an October 17, 2024 launch, these chips are now releasing on October 24, according to HKEPC. There's no reason cited for the delay, it probably has to do with retailer stocking. The delay isn't significant. The Core Ultra 200K introduce a new CPU socket, the LGA1851, which means these chips need to launch alongside new motherboards based on the Intel 800-series.

The initial wave of processors is expected to include only SKUs targeting overclockers and enthusiasts. These include the Core Ultra 9 285K (8P+16E), the Core Ultra 7 265K (8P+12E), and the Core Ultra 5 245K (6P+8E), and their "KF" variants that lack integrated graphics. It's also expected that the first wave of compatible motherboards will only come with the premium Intel Z890 chipset, which supports CPU overclocking. Intel will likely expand its processor model selection, along with more affordable chipsets, such as the B860, around the 2025 International CES.

Maybe there is a typo on the box.

Must be the U. S. retailer stock. Nobody cares if EU even has any availability on launch date.

The way the title is worded it isn't really obvious which way the launch is "pushed" by a week - wouldn't "delay" be a better choice?

Pushed back makes it seem intentional postponement of launch whereas delay would seem reason of postponement is out of their control.

Yes, but that is "pushed back". The title only says it is "pushed... by a week". It's not stating the direction, it could be pushed forward, release a week sooner? :)

There's pushing and there's pulling. If someone pushes something by a week, in which direction would it logically go?

It depends on where you're standing, in front or behind your product. :p

"Baldur's Gate 3 release date pushed forward to August 3 on PC"

"The Bear season 3 release pushed forward at the last minute"

"Assassin's Creed Mirage release date pushed forward by a week"

Etc...

Well, English is not my first language so I may be wrong, but I'd interpret "pulling" as retiring (as Sony with Concord), and "pushing" as making an extra effort, for example to release a week before.

I predict a very big FLOP for Arrow Lake. They promise 14% IPC gain on big cores. But remember, AMD promised 19% and in reality it was barely 5%. Do you think that Intel is not mudding the waters here. ArrL will match RprL+, with more power and more heat, but with lower clocks.

I think it really muddies the water that AMD releases their X3D gaming CPUs almost like a mid-generational update now, so Intel release usually benchmarks with non-X3D, and when the AMD gaming CPUs are released, a lot of comparisons are still made with the old benchmarks that show Intel as the winner...

They can cancel it completely along with 20A if it's really another +5% upgrade like the leaks have been hinting.

You're not sure it won't happen, you never really are until the stuff's been out in the wild for a year or two. Though its not likely either.

Early adopting anything is simply entering the guessing game.

Ironically pulling generally means you're NOT releasing at all :D

at half the power consumption compared to a permanently thermal throttling at 100 C monstrosity and needing double 360 rad just to barely avoid disaster.

Yeah, probably a disgruntled employee about to get fired

Is that even a reason for a delay, one would think they had other things on their mind than just retail availability

For some reason, I'm looking forward to these. Even if I'm not looking to upgrade.

Likewise. My Ryzen 5900x still serves me for the productivity and gaming I have time to do now, but seeing Intel close the gap to AMD not only in performance but also in efficiency can only be good for competition.

I paid 600 EUR for a 5900x in 2021. Intel was in laughable state back then, and it showed in AMD CPU prices. 9900x is only 470 EUR now, despite the inflation etc.

I'm on the fence on this one; it looks like English needs to clear this obvious confusion o_O

Actually there's a lot new about this one. But you just go on fixating on the socket.

Can't wait to see what Intel can do with TSMC 3N and node-advantage over AMD.

Well I guess that depends on which side of the box your standing on. :D
