Intel to Launch 7 New Core Ultra 200 and 200-T Processors With TDPs of 65W and 35W
Solomon Thompson / 1 week ago
Intel has just launched the new Arrow Lake processors, which were initially presented in their unlocked versions. These processors, however, are expected to expand into locked references, featuring a lower TDP.
While Intel has not confirmed this officially, leaks from reliable sources, such as @momomo_us, reveal that Intel is planning seven new references in the F and T ranges. These will offer TDPs of 65W and 35W respectively. Additionally, some of these references will also be released without integrated graphics.
Details on Leaked References
The seven leaked references are as follows:
- Core Ultra 9 285
- Core Ultra 9 285T
- Core Ultra 7 265
- Core Ultra 7 265F
- Core Ultra 7 265T
- Core Ultra 5 225
- Core Ultra 5 225F
For the highest range, the Core Ultra 9 285 will feature a TDP of 65W and a 24-core configuration (8 Performance cores and 16 Efficiency cores), matching its unlocked counterpart but with reduced clock speeds. The 285T version, on the other hand, further reduces clock speeds, lowering the TDP to 35W. Notably, this version retains the integrated Xe GPU with 4 cores.
In the Core Ultra 7 range, the 265 version will have a TDP of 65W, with a core configuration of 8-P and 12-E cores and 30 MB L3 cache. It maintains reduced frequencies compared to unlocked variants. The 265F version, which is designed without integrated graphics, shares identical performance characteristics with the 265. Meanwhile, the 265T version reduces power consumption to 35W and further lowers base clock speeds, particularly on its Performance cores.
The Core Ultra 5 lineup includes two references: 225 and 225F, each featuring a 10-core configuration (6-P and 4-E cores) and a 65W TDP. Both models operate at 3.3 GHz base and 4.9 GHz boost for Performance cores and 2.7 GHz base and 4.4 GHz boost for Efficiency cores. The 225F eliminates the integrated GPU but otherwise maintains the same specifications as the 225.
New Options for Different User Needs
These new processor references are designed for a broader audience by addressing the needs of users who prioritize energy efficiency and affordability. Intel is targeting enthusiasts, gamers, and professionals with this lineup, offering flexibility based on performance and power consumption needs.
