The chip giant is working on Intel Bartlett-S, a new generation of processors that departs from the approach that the company has maintained since the launch of Alder Lake-S, as it abandons the hybrid configuration of P and E cores. and bet only for high performance cores.

Intel Bartlett-S does this approach a kind of “super” version of its high-performance processors, as they will be designed to offer the maximum possible performance per core and do without high-performance cores. For now, we know that Intel plans to launch five different models, and that these will be aimed at the high-performance consumer market.

Intel Bartlett-S It will also have a hybrid version with high-performance cores and high-efficiency cores, but it’s curious because in this case it won’t be Core 9, the top model will be Core 7. The TDP levels will also be significantly lower than what we’ve seen in Intel Raptor Lake-S processors, because no model does not exceed 65 watts base.

Intel Bartlett-S: specifications and models

As part of the version limited to high-performance cores, we will have a total of three models:

• Core 9 with 12 P cores and a TDP of 65 watts.
• Core 7 with 10 P cores and a TDP of 65 watts.
• Core 5 with 8 P cores and 65 Watt TDP.

This new series will focus primarily on gaming sectorand also to those users who prioritize performance and do not need to have a large number of cores and threads, but prefer the performance of a single-threaded processor.

It is unclear whether these processors will support HyperThreading and they are expected to be released in the year third quarter of 2025.

In the hybrid series with P cores and E cores we will see a total of five models:

• Core 7 with 8 P cores and 16 E cores with a TDP of up to 65 watts.
• Core 5 with 6 P cores and 8 E cores (B0) and 6 P cores and 4 E cores (C0) with a TDP of up to 65 watts.
• Core 3 with 4 P cores and TDP up to 65 watts.
• A core with 2 P cores and a TDP of 45 watts.

For these hybrid versions, Intel maintains the original approach that began with Alder Lake-S. We have a block of high performance cores that would be the ones They should get their fill of challenging tasks firstand we will also find a block of high-performance cores that will serve for tasks that do not require so much performance.

It is also unclear whether they will have HyperThreading or do without the mentioned technology. Your arrival will happen between the first and second quarters of 2025.

These new processors They will use the LGA1700 socket, meaning they will come to market to continue to support the current Intel platform, which will soon be replaced by the LGA1851 socket used by Arrow Lake-S processors.

One of the biggest doubts that Intel Bartlett-S raises is the question of architecture, and it is not yet confirmed what architecture they will use or what node they will be based on, although it is very likely that they will. smaller review of Raptor Lake and that they are repeating the Intel 7 node If confirmed, this means that the P cores will use the Raptor Cove architecture and the E cores will use the Gracemont architecture.
