Intel Core Ultra 200’s CPU and GPU core configurations have been leaked. These upcoming Arrow Lake-S chips shouldn’t stray far from current-gen layouts, focusing on efficiency and generational improvements.
According to Jaykihn0 on X, Intel’s upcoming desktop processors should offer up to eight P-cores and 16 E-cores alongside a four-core Xe iGPU on the Ultra 9 series. Moving down to the Ultra 7 series, we lose a cluster of E-cores, leaving eight P-cores and 12 E-cores coupled to a four-core Xe iGPU, depending on the model. Since there won’t be an Ultra 3 tier, the Core Ultra 5 is the entry point, offering between six P-cores, four E-cores, and two Xe cores on the low end or six P-cores, eight E-cores, and four Xe cores on the highest models.
In total, some 18 different CPU models are expected with this generation, made from four major core configurations. This means that some processors will only be differentiated by their allocated power budget, which can be set to 125W on the K variants, 65W on the non-K, and 35W on the low-power T series. Due to its popularity, the Core Ultra 5 seems to be the most varied, offering multiple core configurations. You can check these in detail in the table below.
While this lineup is already quite large, it doesn’t include the Core non-Ultra models, which should add low-end Core 3 models. These may potentially feature as little as four P-cores without any E or Xe cores. As usual, we should see F variants with disabled iGPU, allowing those who want to save a couple of bucks.
These desktop Arrow Lake-S CPUs are expected to launch in early Q4 2024. Users wanting one will need a brand new 800 series chipset and the accompanying motherboard featuring the LGA 1851 socket. Thankfully, DDR5 pricing is quite reasonable now, making the entry cost less steep.
