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.

BwazeMust 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?
I thought it meant pushed ahead, not delayed.

Looking forward to seeing reviews. I'm especially curious about the "i5". 6 cores without HT is not really enough in demanding games, so E-cores will definitely have to be utilized. But if they really are close to Raptor Lake IPC, it shouldn't be an issue.

Intel is seems to be the "underdog" in CPU market now. And these usually follow whatever suit the market leaders do. Much like AMD have been adopting the Intel's product nomenclature for ages 3, 5, 7, 9, 300 (and before it was 3000+, K, etc), and X/B contrary to the Y/B for the chipsets. Now intel saw the AMD did the two weeks delay, and decided this is something that is needed to follow, in order to gain a success. [/sarcasm off]

On a serious note, Intel just urgently needs to finally release an actual and competitive product already, because this is slowly turning into a disaster. And even if the next gen Arrow/Lunar Lake CPUs are going to be fine, and lacking any issues, the reputation and fear of being scammed, will pursue both Intel and it's customers for a long time.

piloponthI 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.
If it's still only a bit faster than cRaptor Lake and uses a lot power I don't really care. It's not there's an alternative that hasn't dropped the ball. For me the fact the E cores are now so strong makes be far more likely to get 265K than 9900X as it's still going to easily beat it in the majority of productivity software I use and you don't have to worry about core-parking BS. Unless X3D models are "have your cake and eat it too" good, I'm going to give Intel a go after 10 years.

ChaitanyaPushed back makes it seem intentional postponement of launch whereas delay would seem reason of postponement is out of their control.
Yes, "delay" or "delayed by a week" would have been ideal, whereas "push" could be in either direction, AND sounds like it is a deliberate non-forced action by the company rather than something unexpected and out of their control, not the best choices of words / phrases.!

And that's not even considering things can be pushed sideways, too :D

Don't forget push around.

So many questions...
Will these hopefully not have issues like 13th & 14th Gen?
Will we see much better efficiency then with Raptor Lake?
Will availability for either CPU and/or MOBO's with new socket be a problem at launch?

It's quite impossible to prove issues like 13th and 14th gen as a widespread problem. Remember, Intel, who is the only one that has actual overview on how widespread and serious the issues were with previous generation, not only denied until very recently there was any problem, they even denied RMAs not only to random mortals but even to reviewers - and that was perhaps the only reason reviewers organised and started posting about the scale of issues. And still people defended them that it's probably just some rare outliers and people who actually broke their CPUs by overclocking. And mocked reports from servers and render farms that talked of widespread failures.
