Further details from the same source indicate the presence of a non-K series model, the 275, which suggests a configuration larger than the 265K of the K series. This detail introduces some uncertainty about the consistency of the naming scheme across different series. Intel's Arrow Lake-S lineup is expected to include a diverse range of processors. For the 125W K series, the lineup is anticipated to feature the Intel Core Ultra 9 in a 24C/24T configuration (8 performance cores + 16 efficiency cores), followed by the Intel Core Ultra 7 with 20C/20T (8+12), and the Intel Core Ultra 5 with 14C/14T (6+8) configurations. The non-K series, with a 65W power specification, mirrors the K series but includes a variant in the Intel Core Ultra 5 category with a 10C/10T (6 performance cores + 4 efficiency cores) configuration.
In total, the Intel Core Ultra 2 series for Arrow Lake-S is projected to offer eight processors in the 125W and 65W categories, with an additional 13 processors planned in the 35W category, covering the Core Ultra 9, Core Ultra 7, and Core Ultra 5 series.
Despite the ongoing speculations around the naming conventions, Intel has historically clarified such details closer to product launches. It's also important to note that the upcoming Intel Core Ultra 2 series processors will require an LGA 1851 socket and are compatible with Intel 800 series chip motherboards, further emphasizing the need for specific hardware compatibility. As the launch approaches, more precise details are expected to be confirmed, providing clarity on the full scope of Intel's next-generation processors.
