Intel Arrow Lake-S CPUs Launch: 21 New Models Announced

Get ready tech enthusiasts, the latest buzz in the processor world is the upcoming launch of the Intel Arrow Lake-S processors. According to insiders, a whopping 21 CPUs are set to hit the market under this lineup, offering a wide range of options for different users.

The highlight of the lineup includes the Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, and Core Ultra 5 245K, which will cater to the needs of high-performance users. However, with no Core Ultra 3 or Core i3 equivalent in sight, the Ultra 5 models are now considered to be the mainstream option.

Intel is also set to release five non-K SKUs at 65W and 13 processors at a lower power of 35W, perfect for budget builds. Hyperthreading seems to be a thing of the past as the leading models will feature a one-to-one core to thread ratio, utilizing a mix of E-cores and P-cores.

All chipsets will be compatible with the LGA 1851 socket, which is planned to be supported until 2026. This means it's time to start thinking about upgrading your motherboard and RAM to DDR5 to keep up with the latest tech.

While the naming conventions for the Intel Arrow Lake-S models may be confusing for some, the upcoming Computex event is expected to provide clarity on the full flagship models and the other 65W variants. It's an exciting time for gamers and tech enthusiasts as we wait to see how the new processors perform in the era of AI computing.
