Intel Core Ultra 200K in new leaks

Two SKUs now have confirmed core counts and clocks.

Following the leak featuring Core Ultra 7 265KF we now have a new score using the same platform but a newer benchmark. This processor is the middle SKU within the upcoming Core Ultra 200K models, which are expected to hit the market in the fourth quarter.

The Core Ultra 7 265KF is a 20-core processor featuring 8 Lion Cove P-Cores and 12 Skymont E-Cores. There’s no hyperthreading mind you, so the core count and thread count are the same for this generation and most likely for future generations as well. The maximum observed clock speed was 5495 MHz.

The Core Ultra 5 245K is a 14-core processor said to feature 6 Lion Cove and 8 Skymont processors. This processor was tested on Colorful iGame Z890 Ultra motherboard, whereas the 265KF was tested on Gigabyte Z890 AERO G.  According to Geekbench, this processor reached a maximum clock speed of 5141 MHz

Unfortunately, both results are using different benchmarks (version 6 and 5), and thus they are not comparable. The 245K appears to be faster than 265KF in the previous leaked score, in fact, it has higher single core and multi-core performance. It would offer higher performance than Core i5-14600K by 11% and 4% respectively in single and multi-core tests.

The Core Ultra 7 265KF would be even faster than Core i9-14900K in single-core test and it would reach multi-core performance close to Core i7-14700KF or Ryzen 9 7950X. The CPU would end up slower in single-core test compared to AMD’s latest 9700X, however it would offer higher multi-core performance.

As always, we do not know the full platform settings, such as memory speed, whether CPUs were overclocked (or used increased power limits), so such comparisons are for reference only. The closer we get to launch, the more likely we get more comparable results. Perhaps even a full review posted ahead of schedule, as it had happened a few times before.
