We know the specifications of cheap Intel Arrow Lake-S processors

The Blues are preparing to premiere new processors for the consumer segment. We are talking about the family Intel Lunar Lake for mobile devices and Intel Arrow Lake-S for desktop computers. According to current information, they are to hit the market in September and October of this year.

The weakest Intel Arrow Lake-S model will offer 8 cores

In both cases we will see new architectures and lithographs. This is not only to eliminate the problems that plague selected 13th and 14th generation Intel Core models, but also to translate into a big jump in performance. Of course, it is worth withholding judgment until the first independent tests.

The latest leaks reveal the detailed specifications of the cheaper models, more precisely Intel Core Ultra 3 205, Intel Core Ultra 5 235 and Intel Core Ultra 5 245. These will be locked models with no overclocking capabilities. We will still see a mix of architectures though Intel Lion Cove and Skymont.

• Intel Core Ultra 3 205 – 8 cores (4P/4E), 8 threads; clock speed 3.9 – 4.8 GHz; ? TDP;
• Intel Core Ultra 5 235 – 14 cores (6P/8E), 14 threads; clock speed 3.3 – 5.0 GHz; 65W TDP;
• Intel Core Ultra 5 245 – 14 cores (6P/8E), 14 threads; clock speed 3.3 – 5.1 GHz; 65W TDP;

It is worth recalling that these processors will not be available for sale until early 2025. First, the more efficient but also more expensive models from the -K and -KF series, which allow for OC, will hit stores. What’s more Intel Arrow Lake-S family will require motherboard replacement. The LGA 1700 socket will replace LGA1851.
