Intel Bartlett Lake debuts. A very interesting CPU, but only for the selected ones
Intel officially presented the processors from the family Bartlett Lakewhich has been talked about for many months. The chips are socket compatible LGA 1700but will not be supported by home motherboards. The manufacturer directs them primarily for embedded systems and edge deviceswhere stability and predictability of operation are crucial.
This is not gaming equipment and will not be available in regular stores
The new series is based only on large, high-performance P-cores. Intel has abandoned small, energy-saving E-type cores here. The reason? In industrial environments and real-time systems, such a heterogeneous design could introduce additional complexity in the operating system’s task management.
Blue is introducing a total of 11 models. The most powerful configuration offers 12 coresand 10- and 8-core versions are also available. Individual systems differ mainly in clocks and TDP. The manufacturer has prepared variants with power consumption up to 45, 65 and 125 W.
The described processors are manufactured using Intel 7 lithography (10 nm class) and use the architecture Raptor Cove already known from the Raptor Lake family. From the CPU level, the user receives up to 16 PCIe 5.0 lanes and an additional four PCIe 4.0 lanes. The chipset can provide another 12 PCIe 4.0 lanes and 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes. The platform also supports up to eight DMI 4 interface lines.
When it comes to RAM, Americans declare aboutsupport for DDR5 modules with speeds up to 5600 MT/s. The maximum capacity of the set can reach 192GBand the platform also supports error-correcting memory ECCwhich is standard in many industrial systems and edge servers.
According to the manufacturer, model Intel Core 9 273PE has to offer even 4.4 times lower maximum PCI latencye, 2.5 times more predictable response time and up to 3.8 times higher deterministic performance than the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X processor in embedded version.
Don’t expect performance tests in games or applications. Bartlett Lake is a CPU designed for reliability and stability, not for achieving the highest results in benchmarks.
The systems will not be available in stores. Intel did not reveal either prices or the exact release date, as distribution will depend on individual agreements with hardware manufacturers and system integrators. The only hope is in unofficial sources, such as AliExpress.
