On Monday, Intel released a list of its core Core Ultra 200S desktop processors. The Arrow Lake-S family of non-K Core Ultra 200S processors with base 65W and 35W processor power includes 11 models that will join the six Core Ultra 200K processors already available during the quarter.
The Intel Core Ultra 200S processor line for mainstream and low-power PCs includes processors with 10 (6P+4E), 14 (6P + 8E), 20 (8P + 12E) and 24 (8P + 16E) cores, depending on positioning. . All processors support up to 192GB of DDR5-6400 memory and have 24 PCIe lanes, including 16 PCIe 5.0 lanes for graphics cards, four PCI 5.0 lanes for SSDs, and another four PCIe 4.0 lanes for other drive. Interestingly, Intel doesn’t mention CUDIMM support.
Nine of the 11 Core Ultra 200S processors for mainstream and low-power desktops feature integrated graphics with four (512 stream processors), three (384 SP), or two (256 SP) Xe cores based on the Xe2 LPG microarchitecture. Traditionally, F-series processors do not have iGPUs, so these processors require a discrete graphics card.

The artificial intelligence performance of Intel Arrow Lake-S processors with locked multipliers varies from model to model and ranges from 19 to 36 TOPS. It’s below MicrosoftCopilot+ PC requirements, so desktops based on the new processors will not support the latest features supported Windows 11.
However, one of the advantages of Intel Core Ultra 200S platforms for mainstream and low-power PCs is support for up to two Thunderbolt 4 ports, as well as DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 display outputs.
All Intel Arrow Lake-S processors are manufactured by TSMC using the N3B (compute), N5P (graphics) and N6 (SoC cell, I/O) processes and then assembled and packaged by Intel using Foveros 3D technology. .
Intel Core Ultra 200S desktop processors with 65W and 35W PBP will be available starting January 13, 2025. The Core Ultra 200S family will also include processors codenamed Bartlett Lake-S, but Intel has not yet revealed their specifications.
