Intel Core Ultra 200 “Arrow Lake” CPU Specs Leaked: Core Ultra 9 285K & Ultra 7 265K with 250W MTP, Ultra 5 245K at 159W

Intel's Core Ultra 200 "Arrow Lake" desktop CPU lineup specifications have now been partially revealed, and we're just a month away from the official launch.

According to the leaked information so far, there will be 5 SKUs launched in the first wave of unlocked processors in the "K" series. As known from previous reports, Intel delayed the launch by a week, and the processors will now appear on October 24 instead of the 17th as originally planned.

According to the leaked information from Benchlife, the 5 models that will be launched in the near future include Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, Core Ultra 7 265KF, Core Ultra 5 245K, and Core Ultra 5 245KF. There is no KF variant for the Core Ultra 9 285K, so the information about 6 SKUs launching seems to be incorrect. Let's see what each chip has to offer.

Intel Core Ultra 9 285K 24 cores / 24 threads

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K will be the top of the line in the Core Ultra 200 "Arrow Lake" desktop CPU lineup. The chip will feature 8 P cores based on the Lion Cove core architecture and 16 E cores based on the Skymont core architecture. The chip will have 24 threads and offer 36MB of L3 cache and 40MB of L2 cache, for a total of 76MB of cache. The CPU will operate at a base clock of 3.7GHz on the P cores and 3.2GHz on the E cores while the maximum boost clock is rated at 5.7GHz for the P cores and 4.6GHz for the E cores. The CPU will be rated at a PL1 TDP of 125W and have an MTP of 250W.

• Core Ultra 9 285K: 24 cores / 24 threads / 3.7-5.7GHz / 36MB L3 / 40MB L2 / 125W-250W
• Core i9-14900K: 24 cores / 32 threads / 3.2-6.0GHz / 36MB L3 / 32MB L2 / 125W-253W

Intel Core Ultra 7 265K 20 cores / 20 threads

Next up is the Core Ultra 7 265K. This is another high-end chip in the lineup with an 8 P-Core and 12 E-Core configuration, for a total of 20 cores and 20 threads. This processor will come with 30MB of L3 cache and 36MB of L2 cache, for a total of 66MB. The base clock will be set at 3.9GHz for the P-Core and 3.3GHz for the E-Core while the boost clock will be set at up to 5.5GHz for the P-Core and 4.6GHz for the E-Core. Similarly, the Core Ultra 7 265K will also have a 125W PL1 and a 250W PL2 TDP.

• Core Ultra 7 265K: 20 cores / 20 threads / 3.9-5.5GHz / 30MB L3 / 36MB L2 / 125W-250W
• Core i7-14700K: 20 cores / 28 threads / 3.4-5.6GHz / 33MB L3 / 28MB L2 / 125W-253W

Intel Core Ultra 5 245K 14 cores / 14 threads

Finally, we have the slightly tweaked Intel Core Ultra 5 245K. The CPU retains the same 6 P-Core and 8 E-Core design for 14 cores and 14 threads with 24MB of L3 cache and 26MB of L2 cache, for a total of 50MB of cache. The base clock is set at 4.2GHz for the P-Core and 3.6GHz for the E-Core while the boost clock is set at 5.2GHz for the P-Core and 4.6GHz for the E-Core.

• Core Ultra 5 245K: 14 cores / 14 threads/ 4.2-5.2GHz / 24MB L3 / 26MB L2 / 125W-159W
• Core i5-14600K: 14 cores / 20 threads / 3.5-5.3GHz / 24MB L3 / 20MB L2 / 125W-181W

According to this information, only the 265K and 245K will receive the "KF" variant, motherboard vendors will use "Intel Default Settings" by default in their new BIOS for the upcoming launch.

Currently, the first batch of Intel's 5-core Ultra 200 "Arrow Lake" desktop CPUs is scheduled to launch on October 24 alongside Z890 chipset motherboards. Intel's Arrow Lake CPUs will feature Xe-LPG-based integrated graphics in the K variants, while the KF variants will require a discrete GPU to enable the display. Intel is expected to follow up with other "non-K" Arrow Lake CPUs in early 2025, as well as low-cost Intel 800 chipset motherboards. Additionally, the CPUs are said to have lower real-world power consumption than the 14th and 13th Gen lineups, while eliminating any instability issues thanks to their new architecture.
