Intel Arrow Lake-S desktop lineup rumored to feature Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265 and Core Ultra 5 255K SKUs
Intel reshifting its naming for desktops.
Intel is gearing up to unveil its latest desktop CPU series, called Arrow Lake-S. These new processors will fall under the Core Ultra 200 series umbrella and will offer a range of tiers and variants, including K, F, and potentially T models in the future.
Intel is expected to make a minor adjustment to its desktop CPU product naming. Renowned hardware leaker Raichu, known for accurate Intel leaks in the past, revealed some details about the upcoming lineup. The next-generation desktop CPU lineup is expected to include the following unlocked models from the K-Series:
- Core Ultra (9?) 285K
- Core Ultra (7?) 265K
- Core Ultra (5?) 245K
There is no 290K part mentioned, but these names should ring a bell, Intel had very similar names for mobile SKUs. However, in this case, we are looking at desktop CPUs. Raichu did not mention Core Ultra tiers, but assuming that only these three parts are the launch SKUs (Intel typically has three K and KF SKUs at launch), then 265K is most likely part of Core Ultra 7 models.

Furthermore, there’s a list of non-K models known as “OC locked” with a 65W TDP. This category is expected to feature SKUs such as the 275, 255, and 240 . The latter was already mentioned before, and it will also appear with the F variant, which lacks integrated graphics.
The new series will require new motherboards with 800-series chipsets and LGA-1851 socket. Unlike Core Ultra 200V Lunar Lake models, the desktop version has not appeared in any leaks yet. Hence, even with high confidence in Raichu’s leak, one should still take it with a grain of salt. In fact, it is possible that SKUs like 290K may still launch, only as the new KS version, wouldn’t that make more sense? That’s hard to say, the next desktop lineup will be the most substantial change in the Intel desktop portfolio naming in over a decade.
