Details regarding Intel’s Arrow Lake-S “Core Ultra 200” Desktop CPUs and the respective 800-series platform are starting to take shape. The latest information comes from Golden Pig Upgrade who is talking about the SKUs, the iGPU configurations, and the top Z890 chipset.
Starting with the SKUs, the Intel Core Ultra 200 “Arrow Lake-S” Desktop CPUs will be following the first-gen Core Ultra 100 “Meteor Lake” family and start at Core Ultra 5. We have detailed the three possible “Unlocked” SKUs which include the Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, and Core Ultra 5 245K in a previous report here.
It looks like the lineup won’t include Core Ultra 3 chips and Intel is likely to keep on selling and refreshing existing Core i3 CPUs to make up for the entry-level demand which is lower than what it seems to be despite having entry-level prices. Intel might offer a refresh with entry-level SKUs on existing LGA 1700 platforms such as the upcoming Bartlett Lake-S Desktop chips.
In terms of iGPU configurations, the Intel Arrow Lake-S “Core Ultra 200” Desktop CPUs will max out at 4 Xe-Cores based on the Alchemist Xe-LPG graphics architecture.
