Early this year, rumors abounded that Intel would release a fourth generation of LGA1700 CPUs. Intel Planning P-Core Only Bartlett LGA1700 Processors for 2025 (Techpowerup) Those CPUs seem to have been announced at CES 2025.
I'm still trying to work my way around what this means, but Intel has announced new (or repackaged) LGA1700 CPUs at CES 2025. The press briefing linked below claims that these CPUs were "Formerly codenamed Bartlett Lake S" (Link 1, Slide 2), and the second link appears to verify this. The processors look closer to Raptor Lake than Arrow Lake, at least.The processors will have hyper-threading (on P cores), and will be "Socket compatible with 12th, 13th, and 14th gen" (Link 2, Footnotes). The chips are mentioned to have E-cores, and although the rumored P-core only Bartlett Lake SKUs haven't been disproven, there is no evidence of their existence.
The chip mentioned in the second link, the Core 7 251E, seems to be an 8 P-core, 16 E-core chip, (P-core boost clocks up to 5.6GHz) in line with rumors that Bartlett Lake S would have an i7 class CPU with an 8p-16e configuration. I am unsure what this means for the previously expected 8-12 P-core chips.
I am also confused as to why I haven't been able to find a clear list of SKUs on Intel's site. Or why there I have been unable to find coverage of these new SKUs beyond a Wccftech article that lists out 22 different SKUs based on 8 different CPUs, and claims a January 13th release date.
I also cannot find an official release date for Core 200s processors on Intel's site, and Wccftech may be confusing Core 200s (Bartlett Lake S) with Core Ultra 200s (Arrow Lake S), as Intel's site does claim that "Intel Core Ultra 200S series 65-watt and 35-watt desktop processors and OEM systems will be available ... beginning Jan. 13, 2025." (Link 4)
Switching from observations to speculation, it is also worth noting that these chips will likely not be particularly accessible. Intel's -E type edge computing processors aren't typically available for consumer purchase. I also have a few theories as to why this launch has gone largely unnoticed, including that it has been obscured by GPU launches at CES 2025, Intel's naming scheme (Core 200s vs Core Ultra 200s), and the lack of recent leaks about (and therefore anticipation for) Bartlett Lake S.
