The first photo of the crystal of the new Intel Core Ultra desktop processors (Arrow Lake-S) has appeared on the network. In particular, the flagship model of the Core Ultra 9 285K processor with the heat-dissipating cover removed, its back and front sides were captured in the frame.

Judging by the photo, Intel did not spare any sealant to secure the thermal distribution cover of the processor to the chip. However, a much more interesting detail in the image is the Core Ultra 9 285K processor die, or rather its set of crystals. Unlike Raptor Lake, Arrow Lake-S has a tile (chiplet) structure, consistent with earlier schematic images.
Arrow Lake-S processors use four chiplets (tiles). This will be the first time Intel has used this configuration for its desktop processor chips. The set includes a chiplet with integrated graphics, a SoC chiplet, a chiplet with processor cores, and an I/O die. It is noteworthy that the crystal also contains two dummy crystals. In addition, another chip with interconnects is used in the bottom layer – all the chiplets visible in the photo are mounted on it.

Some time ago, a diagram of Arrow Lake-S processors also appeared on the network, which was shared by user Jaykihn.
