Chinese sources have fully revealed the range of Intel Core Ultra 200 processors that the chip giant plans to launch in the latter part of this year. K series models will be the first to arrivewhich are the ones with an unlocked multiplier and which will therefore allow overclocking and later the introduction of non-K models.

These new processors are part of the Intel Arrow Lake-S generation. This means they maintain structure two core blocks which we have seen in previous generations and which introduce changes at the architectural level. The P cores are based on Lion Cove, which promises an IPC improvement of up to 18%, and the E cores use the Skymont architecture, which will offer similar IPC to Raptor Cove.

It’s still unclear what manufacturing process the Santa Clara company will use in the Intel Core Ultra 200, and information is conflicting right now. Some point to a node Intel 20Aand others TSMC 3nm node. Both pieces of information make sense and are plausible, but we’ll have to wait for Intel itself to confirm this information.

Intel Core Ultra 200 K-series processors

• Core Ultra 9 285K, top of the line with 8 P cores, 16 E cores and 24 threads totaling 3.7 GHz and 3.2 GHz respectively. They will scale to 5.4 GHz and 4.6 GHz, and up to 5.7 GHz thanks to Thermal Velocity Boost technology.
• Core Ultra 7 265K with 8 P cores, 12 E cores and 20 threads total at 3.9 GHz and 3.3 GHz. They will scale to 5.2GHz and 4.6GHz and up to 5.5GHz thanks to turbo mode. It will have an F version with iGPU disabled.
• Core Ultra 5 245K, with 6 P cores, 8 E cores and 14 threads in total at 4.2 GHz and 3.6 GHz respectively. They will scale to 5GHz and 4.6GHz and up to 5.2GHz thanks to turbo mode. It will have an F version with iGPU disabled.

These processors will have a TDP of 125 watts and They will be released on October 10thalong with new motherboards with LGA-1851 socket and Z890 series chipset that will allow overclocking and will be the highlight of this generation.

Processors other than the K series

• Core Ultra 9285 with 8 P cores, 16 E cores and 24 threads in total at 2.5 GHz and 1.9 GHz. They will scale to 5.3 GHz and 4.6 GHz, and up to 5.6 GHz with Thermal Velocity Boost technology. It will have a T version with a TDP of 35 watts, which will work at a lower frequency.
• Core Ultra 7,265, with 8 P cores, 12 E cores and 20 threads in total at 2.4 GHz and 1.8 GHz respectively. They will scale to 5.1GHz and 4.6GHz and up to 5.3GHz thanks to turbo mode. It will have an F version with iGPU disabled and a T version with a TDP of 35 watts at a lower frequency.
• Core Ultra 5,245, with 6 P cores, 8 E cores and a total of 14 threads. Work speeds have not been revealed, but they will be lower than the K model. It should have an F version with the iGPU disabled.
• Core Ultra 5,235, with 6 P cores, 4 E cores and a total of 10 threads. Their working speeds have not yet been specified. You should also have the F version with the iGPU disabled.
• Core Ultra 5 225 with 6 P cores, 4 E cores and a total of 10 threads at 3.3 GHz and 2.7 GHz. They will scale to 4.7 GHz and 4.4 GHz and up to 4.9 GHz thanks to turbo mode. It will have an F version with iGPU disabled.

All of these processors will have a TDP of 65 watts, except for the T models, which will have a TDP of 35 watts. They will be presented in January next yearcertainly during the CES 2025 celebrations, and will hit the market in the first quarter of this year along with new motherboards configured with the H870, B860 and H810 chipsets.

The prices of these new Intel processors should be similar to the ones the current generation had when starting it.
