On May 2nd, it appears that the high-performance Arrow Lake and the low-power Lunar Lake will both belong to the Core Ultra 200 series. The latter will end with a 'V', for example, the known Core Ultra 5 234V, while the former will continue the tradition with desktop versions having K, KF, F, T, and standard versions without suffixes, and laptops having H and U series.
The desktop version of Arrow Lake's K series was previously rumored to be named Core Ultra 9 290K, Core Ultra 7 270K, Core Ultra 5 260K, following the numbering convention of many years.
According to the latest revelations, they have been renamed as Core Ultra 9 295K, Core Ultra 7 265K, and Core Ultra 5 245K, which is a bit confusing.
Even more confusing is that their standard versions are called Core Ultra 9 275, Core Ultra 7 255, and Core Ultra 5 240, making it even harder to understand.
We've heard about a mysterious Intel Core Ultra 5 240F, rumored to feature a mix of chip configurations like 8+16 and 6+8, with an expected actual specification of 6+4 10 cores.
Rumors suggest that the 6+8 version will be manufactured using Intel 20A process, while the 8+16 version will utilize both Intel 20A and TSMC 3nm processes!
It seems that only the Core Ultra 3 series might not make it to desktops and laptops.
Quite a whirlwind of information...
