Intel's next generation Arrow Lake chips are listed on the website of a UK retailer under the Core Ultra200K branding. The specs seem reasonable.
Intel's Arrow Lake desktop CPUs are rumoured launch in the next few months, but we have no official date or specs. Still, listings for the new processors have been spotted on a UK retailer’s website. While they are placeholders for now they do show core count and boost clocks which seem reasonable compared to the current Raptor Lake Refresh chip line.
- Core Ultra 9 285K, 24 cores at 5.7GHz, PS566.20
- Core Ultra 7 265K, 20 cores at 5.5 GHz. - PS392.82.
- Core Ultra 7 265KF, 20 cores at 5.5 GHz.
- Core Ultra 5 245K, 14 cores at 5.2 GHz (PS301.03)
- Core Ultra 5 245KF, 14 cores at 5.2 GHz (PS285.73)
The processors can be found under the Ultra brand on Lambdatek.com, a UK electronics store. The most expensive is the Core Ultra 9 285, which costs a little over PS566, or around $727 with the current exchange rate. (via Videocardz). It's a 24-core processor running at 5.7 GHz. This would be the same number as the current Core i9-14900K with a lower boost clock.
Core Ultra 7 chips Core Ultra 7 KF and Core Ultra 7 KF are below, with 20-core chips and 5.5 GHz boost clocks. They are priced at PS378 andPS393. This would be roughly $485 and $505 respectively. It's likely to be the same as the current Core i7-14700K and KF variants, which also have 20 cores and a slightly faster boost clock.
The Core Ultra 5 245K and Core Ultra 5 245KF are the last two chips. They have 14 cores, just like the Core i514600K and Core i514600KF but with a slightly lower boost clock of 5.2 GHz. These are priced at PS301 and PS285 or approximately $387 and $366.
Prices, as well as everything else, should be taken with a large pinch of salt. These placeholders are often posted by retailers, but they're not an official confirmation. These listings are a good indication of the Arrow Lake lineup when we get official word.
We still have very few verified facts about Arrow Lake. We know that the new chips will be manufactured primarily by TSMC with packaging provided by Intel Foundry. This is in light of the recent news that Intel will abandon its 20A process and switch to 18A.
We also know they won't suffer from the same voltage instability issues that plagued Intel's 13th or 14th generation processors. We're still mostly in the realm of rumours and speculations, including talk about Intel abandoning hyperthreading, and changing its chip layouts.
Intel's recent issues are well-publicised, so we can be certain that the company will be hoping Arrow Lake is a hit. After dismal financials results, the aforementioned crashes, and rumours of the company considering slicing off bits of itself to turn things around, they'll likely look for these chips to create a bit of stir in comparison to AMD's robust, if slightly underwhelming, Zen 5 CPUs.
