Intel Prepares Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, and Core Ultra 5 245K Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs
Hardware leaker Raichu, known for accurately predicting Intel's moves, has unveiled intriguing details about the company's forthcoming desktop CPU lineup. According to the leaks, Intel is supposed to introduce a big shift in its desktop CPU naming convention with the arrival of the Core Ultra 200 series, codenamed Arrow Lake-S. This next-generation lineup promises to deliver one of the most significant performance leaps for desktop processors in recent years, marking a substantial departure from Intel's current naming strategy—a change that hasn't been witnessed in over a decade. The Core Ultra 200 series is expected to encompass a diverse range of tiers and variants, catering to various user needs. This includes the overclockable K models for enthusiasts, F variants without integrated graphics, and potentially low-power T models for energy-efficient SKUs. According to Raichu's leaks, the unlocked K-Series models are rumored to include the high-end Core Ultra 9 285K, the mid-range Core Ultra 7 265K, and the budget-friendly Core Ultra 5 245K. While the absence of a 290K part has raised eyebrows, these names resemble Intel's mobile CPU naming conventions.
To enjoy the Core Ultra 200 series, users will need to upgrade to new motherboards featuring the 800-series chipsets and the LGA-1851 socket. Unlike the Core Ultra 200V Lunar Lake models for mobile devices, details about the desktop version have remained scarce, shrouding the impending launch in an air of mystery. While Raichu's leaks carry significant weight, it's essential to approach such information cautiously. There's a possibility that SKUs like the 290K may still be introduced, as a new KS version, aligning with Intel's traditional naming conventions. The Core Ultra 200 series promises to cater to a wide range of desktop users, from the performance-hungry enthusiasts eyeing the Core Ultra 9 285K to budget-conscious consumers seeking the value proposition of the Core Ultra 5 245K. The Core Ultra 7 265K is expected to strike a balance between performance and affordability, targeting the mid-range segment. As more leaks and official information surface, we will continue to provide updates on this release from Intel.

Instead of shifting goalposts.
My post wasn't an attempt to list more than one CPU from each generation.Oh you think that's a new one? :roll:
If it says Ultra in the name then it must be top of the line stuff. :p
AMD's mobile CPU name scheme isn't much better either though, maybe they'll try that for desktop CPU's next.
I.e. 290K/KS
That or a mid cycle refresh.
If Intel can keep the naming lined up with the architecture generation, that would be good.
One thing I don't like is the APUs from AMD taking a "generation" number like the 8xxx parts. Or 13/14th gen being the same architecture.
If the first number always refers to the core architecture, would be ideal.
Bear in mind gen 4/5 lanes are 2 to 4x faster than your gen 3 lanes.
Perhaps this could be the reason for discontinuing Hyper-Threading;
Let's hope Intel can deliver Arrow Lake ASAP, so that the current story goes away.
Better cancel all K-series so settle all problems and stop blaming others.
The reality is that for 90%+ of people, 16/8 lanes for GPU and 8/16 lanes for M.2 or other things is enough. Just like dual channel RAM is enough.
I'd give as an example the RTX 4090 which lost 2% of performance moving from Gen 4 x16 to Gen 4 x8 in TPU testing.
