Intel teased its next-gen mobile-focused Lunar Lake CPUs today, but also confirmed its next-gen Arrow Lake-S, Arrow Lake-HX, and Arrow Lake-H processors for both desktop and laptops are coming in Q4 2024.
Intel's new high-performance Arrow Lake CPUs will hit the desktop later this year in Arrow Lake-S form, something that we should see confirmed (and detailed) at Computex 2024 in just a couple of weeks time. Intel has now provided a preview of its next-gen Core Ultra 200 "Arrow Lake-S" desktop CPUs, with a tease of the monolithic design that has multiple tiles inside.
Arrow Lake will feature a CPU, GPU, SoC, and I/O tiles, with the biggest of the tiles being the CPU and SoC which are the larger rectangular-shaped ones at the bottom, and the square one in the middle. There's also a dummy tile used, which is something Intel is also doing with its new Lunar Lake CPUs, too.
Intel's new Core Ultra 200 series "Arrow Lake-S" desktop processors will roll out with an 8+16 design (8 Performance Cores based on the new Lion Cove architecture, and 16 Efficiency Cores based on the Skymont architecture). We should also see 4 Low-Power Crestmont-based E-Cores on the SoC Tile, with the GPU tile packing 2-4 Xe-Cores of "Xe-LPG" Alchemist-based integrated graphics.
Intel's new Arrow Lake-S desktop processors will be the first desktop CPUs from Intel with the new "Core Ultra 200 series" branding, with new 800-series motherboards led by the flagship Z890 chipset to be teased at Computex 2024, with native Thunderbolt 4, and much more.
