The first wave of Intel’s Arrow Lake-S lineup will consist of the Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, and Core Ultra 5 245K processors. Each offers a different power profile based on its performance.
The Base profile sets Intel’s default power and consumption limits to provide maximum stability. The Performance profile adjusts PL1 with PL2 to provide higher performance without sacrificing power consumption. The third profile, called Extreme, offers the highest power without worrying about consumption.
Power Consumption of Intel Arrow Lake-S Processors
As expected, the Core Ultra 9 285K, the top representative of this new range of processors, will have a maximum consumption of 250Wthe same consumption that the Core Ultra 7 265K will also have. According to this latest leak, the Core Ultra 245K will have a consumption of 159W.

Based on the latest leak from X (Twitter) user Jaykihn, Intel will be rolling out a performance profile across 4 SKUs: 2 SKUs with 8+16 in (Core Ultra 9 285K), one with 8+12 (Core Ultra 7 265K), and one with 6+8 (Core Ultra 5 245K).
These performance profiles can be activated by the user if they need to get the maximum processor performancesince, by default, it will use the base profile adjusted by Intel to get the best performance from the computer.
The official announcement of the new generation of Arrow Lake-S processors for desktop computers is scheduled for October 10, reaching the market 7 days later, although it is likely that given the problems that the company has been suffering in recent weeks as a result of the disastrous financial results, this event will be delayed until the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025 and take advantage of the CES framework to announce them.
To have all the final data and specifications of this new range and assess whether they are really worth it, we will have to wait a few days. Let’s hope that the problems of performance and stability that the 13th and 14th generation of Intel processors have shown will not be repeated in this new one, which will be the 15th.
What we expect from Intel’s 15th generation of processors
As Intel has accustomed us, these processors welcome the socket LGA 1851a socket that will also be in the next generation.
The 13th and 14th generation of Intel processors uses the socket LGA 1700not compatible with this new generation, so if we want to update the equipment we will also have to update the motherboard, thus increasing the total price of the investment to be made.
Another new feature compared to previous generations is the Lion Cave cores, which in theory will offer 20-25% more performance. As for price, given that Intel has never been known for maintaining them, this new generation will follow the same path.
