Intel is preparing to release at least 12 models of consumer desktop processors Core Ultra 200 (Arrow Lake-S). In the future, the series will be expanded by releasing processors without overclocking functions. This data was shared by the TechPowerUp portal, citing insider Jaykihn, whom he calls “a reliable source of Intel leaks.”
As part of the Core Ultra 200 series of processors, five processor models with the suffixes “K” or “KF” are expected. The flagship model Core Ultra 285K, according to the source, will immediately receive support for all automatic overclocking technologies, including Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB), Turbo Boost Max 3.0 and the classic Turbo Boost 2.0. Thanks to this, the processor will be able to operate at frequencies up to 5.7 GHz (on two cores). The chip uses 8 Lion Cove P-cores with a base frequency of 3.70 GHz and 16 Skymont E-cores with a base frequency of 3.20 GHz. On all P-cores at the same time, the chip will be able to operate at frequencies up to 5.4 GHz. The maximum E-core frequency of the processor will be 4.60 GHz. The chip also includes 64 execution units of integrated Arc graphics with a frequency of 2.0 GHz.
The Core Ultra 7 265K/KF models will presumably replace the Core i7-14700K/KF and will lose support for the TVB algorithm. The new processors will have 8 P-cores and 12 E-cores. The base frequency of the former will be 3.90 GHz, and the latter – 3.30 GHz. The maximum frequency of P-cores is expected to be 5.50 GHz (for one to two cores) and 5.20 GHz for all. In turn, for E-cores the maximum frequency will be 4.60 GHz.
Core Ultra 5 245K/KF will replace the Core i5-14600K/KF. They will offer 6 P-cores and 8 E-cores. The base frequency of the P-cores for the Core Ultra 5 245K/KF is expected to be 4.20 GHz, and for the E-cores – 3.60 GHz. The chips do not support Turbo Boost Max 3.0 automatic overclocking technology, but the classic Turbo Boost algorithm will automatically increase the frequency of two P-cores to 5.20 GHz (5.00 GHz for all). In turn, the E-cores will be able to automatically accelerate to 4.60 GHz.
Several processor models without the “K” and “KF” suffixes are also expected, which Intel will most likely release in the first quarter of 2025. These processors will not receive support for classic overclocking and will have lower TDP values. One of these models will be Core Ultra 5 225/225F. It is assumed that they will replace the Core i5-14400/14400F models. The new products are credited with the presence of 6 P-cores and 4 E-cores. The former will be able to automatically overclock to 4.90 GHz (on one or two cores) and up to 4.70 GHz on all P-cores, and E-cores will operate at a frequency of up to 4.40 GHz.
According to the latest rumors, the first models of Intel Core Ultra 200 desktop processors will be presented on October 10th.
