You probably already know this, but Intel has introduced changes to the names of its processors. This change in name is due to the inclusion of NPU cores intended exclusively for artificial intelligence.
As you may know, these new cores are necessary to be able to use the features of Microsoft’s Copilot+. The question is how useful it is to include AI within an operating system. So far, the features presented for this technology are not very striking, and some have even had to be modified due to the serious security risk they pose.
This is what the new Intel Core Ultra 200 will look like
The company’s new chips from the Arrow Lake-S family are expected to be released in the last quarter of the year. Although we don’t have a date, it’s normal for them to be launched between the beginning of October or the beginning of November. The idea is to take advantage of Black Friday and Christmas, the two periods where the most hardware is sold during the year.
These new Core Ultra 200 chips are aimed at desktop computers and gaming enthusiasts, mainly. The interesting thing about these new chips is that we will have no less than five unlocked processors belonging to the K and KF series. We know this fact and the data on cores, as well as frequencies and other information, thanks to a huge leak.
Specifically, we will have the Core Ultra 9 285K, the Core Ultra 265K and 265KF and the Core Ultra 5 245K and 245KF. In addition, we will see other models with lower consumption, as is usual for Intel.
These new chips will be based on a set of power cores (P-Cores) from the Lion Cove family and efficiency cores (E-Cores) from the Skymont family. All chips, except the KF models, will feature integrated Xe2 graphics.
One interesting thing the leak reveals is that the Core 9 285K and Core 285KF models will feature TVB support, while the rest of the processors will not. Also, the Core Ultra 5 245K, 245KF, 225 and 225F models will not feature Turbo Boost 3.0 support, while the rest of the models will.
As for consumption, there is nothing new in these processors. The Core-K and KF models will have a TDP of 125 watts, the models without the letter, so to speak, and the Core-F will have a TDP of 65 watts. Finally, the Core-T models will have a TDP of 35 watts, which is due to a brutal reduction in frequencies.
As usual, Intel will continue to not launch Core 3 processors. These chips have been replaced by Intel N, much simpler solutions that are usually reserved for embedded or low-power systems. Solutions that are usually launched without official announcements, simply by listing them and little else.
