Intel's next-generation Arrow Lake-S processors will arrive as the Core Ultra 200 series CPUs on the desktop, into a new LGA 1851 socket with DDR5 memory as a minimum, and PCIe Gen5 support. We'll also see the introduction of Thunderbolt 4, with native Thunderbolt 4 support on Z890 expected later this year when the CPUs and new motherboards launch.
