Intel announced at the beginning of the year that in 2024, they will introduce two new CPUs: the Lunar Lake known as Core Ultra 200V and the upcoming Arrow Lake desktop CPU.
Recent reports reveal that the Arrow Lake will adopt the Core Ultra 200 nomenclature, similar to the Notebooks, with the absence of the “V” as in Lunar Lake. The initial Arrow Lake lineup will feature the familiar “K” and “F” model designations.
Rumors speculate that the first Arrow Lake CPUs will have a TDP of 125W across 5 sub-models:
– Core Ultra 9 285K with 8 P-Cores + 16 E-Cores, 24 threads, Turbo Boost Max up to 5.6GHz, and a max power of 250W.
– Core Ultra 7 265K/KF with 8 P-Cores + 12 E-Cores, 24 threads, Turbo Boost Max up to 5.5GHz, and a max power of 250W.
– Core Ultra 5 245K/KF with 6 P-Cores + 8 E-Cores, 14 threads, no Turbo Boost Max support, and a max power of 159W.
Comparisons with the previous Core 14th Gen CPUs show slight reductions in clock speeds, with the Core Ultra 200 series having increased L2 cache compared to the Core 14th Gen.
Overall, on paper, the specifications do not vary significantly from the Core 14th Gen, raising questions about whether the Arrow Lake CPUs will deliver as promised.
Note: Initially, Arrow Lake was set to be produced using Intel’s 20A process but was subsequently canceled. Speculations suggest that an external company, likely TSMC, will manufacture the chips instead, while Intel focuses on their smaller 18A process.

TLDR: Intel is set to launch two new CPUs in 2024 – the Core Ultra 200V and Arrow Lake. The Arrow Lake CPUs are rumored to have a TDP of 125W and five sub-model options, with slight clock speed reductions compared to the previous Core 14th Gen CPUs.
