On April 14th, Intel announced that later this year they will unveil the high-performance Arrow Lake and the low-power Lunar Lake, both part of the second-generation Core Ultra 200 series. While undergoing a complete overhaul in process and architecture, these processors will bid farewell to two traditional skills: Hyper-Threading and the AVX-512 instruction set.
Now, details have emerged about the two latest Arrow Lake models. One features 20 cores and 20 threads, while the other boasts 24 cores and 24 threads, confirming the absence of Hyper-Threading in both.
Both models have relatively low frequencies, ranging from 2.3 to 3.0GHz, as they are still in the engineering sample stage.
The exposed fields feature the term MTL-S, which stands for Meteor Lake-S, representing the aborted generation of Core i9 Ultra desktop CPUs. Recently, it's been revitalized for edge computing and embedded applications, featuring the LGA1851 interface.
This suggests that Arrow Lake will adopt this new interface, LGA1851, when it arrives. Recently, we've also caught a glimpse of its physical form.
Before Lunar Lake, another model was exposed, named Core Ultra 5 234V, all series end with the letter "V", while Arrow Lake continues to use HX, H, U on the mobile side.
