Intel Core Ultra 200S desktop CPUs
The first enthusiast desktop AI PCs were introduced by Intel with the release of their Intel Core Ultra 200S desktop CPUs (codenamed Arrow Lake-S). With outstanding AI and content creation performance, an immersive gaming experience, and ground-breaking power reductions across daily applications, gaming, and creation applications, the new CPUs are the ultimate enthusiast option.
Together with the Intel Core Ultra 200V mobile processors (codenamed Lunar Lake), the new CPUs will enable the AI PC to reach previously unheard-of scale. PCs with the newest Intel Core Ultra CPUs enable customers to fully benefit from AI through partnerships with top independent software suppliers, extensive ecosystem support, and over 500 optimized AI models.
Beginning on October 24, the world’s leading OEM partners will use Intel Core Ultra 200S desktop processors to power the most comprehensive and powerful desktop AI PCs available. The new Intel Core Ultra 200S series CPU family, which Intel unveiled today, will introduce the first enthusiast desktop AI PCs and extend AI PC capabilities to desktop platforms.
With five unlocked desktop processors featuring up to eight next-generation Performance-cores (P-cores), the fastest cores available for desktop PCs, and up to sixteen next-generation Efficient-cores (E-cores), the latest generation of enthusiast desktop processors, led by the Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 285K, can achieve up to 14% more performance in multi-threaded workloads than the previous generation. With a built-in Xe GPU and cutting-edge media support, the new line is the first NPU-enabled desktop processors for enthusiasts.
With up to 58% less package power in daily applications and up to 165W less system power when gaming, Intel Core Ultra 200S desktop processors offer a historic power consumption decrease made possible by the most recent Intel core and efficiency advancements. In addition to offering up to 6% faster single-threaded and up to 14% faster multi-threaded performance compared to the previous generation, the new processor family combines increased efficiency with higher performance.
Complete AI capabilities, driven by the CPU, GPU, and NPU, give enthusiasts the strong and intelligent performance they require for gaming and content production, all while using less energy. The Intel Core Ultra 200S series processors, which are the first to make the AI PC available to enthusiasts, outperform rival flagship processors by up to 50% in AI-enabled creative applications. The recently released NPU makes it possible to offload AI tasks. Examples include enabling accessibility use cases like face- and gesture-tracking in games with no performance impact, drastically lowering power consumption in AI workloads, and freeing up discrete GPUs to boost gaming frame rates.
