Intel Core Ultra 200 has a release date

Following the disclosure of the 10.10 annoucement, the new series are now said to be arriving a week later.

According to Board Channels, Intel has allegedly set the release date for its next-gen desktop platform, known as Arrow Lake-S or Core Ultra 200. The first wave of processors is expected to include only the 125W K-Series of unlocked models. This launch will also be accompanied by the release of the Z890 motherboard.

Although Intel has not confirmed a release date, the company stated that the cancellation of the Innovation 2024 event will not affect its plans for the next-gen desktop series. It is currently unclear whether Intel will hold a press event or provide an embargoed slide deck for the press.

Of course, the initial launch will feature only three SKUs, with more potentially available if the rumored KF iGPU-less models are included. The flagship Core Ultra 9 285K will be a 24-core variant, joined by the 20-core Core Ultra 7 265K and the 14-core Core Ultra 5 245K. Only the Core Ultra 9 SKU is expected to support Thermal Velocity Boost.

Intel Arrow Lake-S launch dates

• October 10th : Core Ultra 200K & Z890 Announcement

• Q1 2025 (Rumored): Core Ultra 200 non-K & B860/H810 Announcement

The Z890 series of motherboards will be the first to support the LGA-1851 socket, making them incompatible with the previous generation of CPUs, despite having the same socket size. Additionally, Intel will discontinue DDR4 memory support on this platform. However, there are rumors that Intel may continue to support the LGA-1700 platform with future updates, such as the rumored Bartlett-S SKUs.
