New leaks have provided insights into the upcoming Intel Core Ultra 200 CPU lineup and the Z890 motherboards. This information includes details about the processors' specifications and motherboard capabilities. The Intel Core Ultra 200 series will include multiple models, such as the Core Ultra 5 245K, Core Ultra 7 265K, and Core Ultra 9 285K. Notably, there will be no Core Ultra 3 model, with Intel opting to continue supporting the sales of its existing Raptor Lake generation i3 chips. The Core Ultra 9 285K is reported to have a boost clock frequency of around 5.5GHz. This is slightly lower than the 14th Gen i9-14900K, which reaches up to 6.0GHz. The Core Ultra 200 processors are said to incorporate a maximum of 4 Xe computing cores in their integrated GPUs, a reduction from the 8 Xe cores available in the fastest laptop CPUs of the same line.

The architecture for these Xe cores is based on the Alchemist Xe-LPG design. Variations within the Core Ultra 200 series are expected to have two or three Xe cores depending on the specific SKU. Additionally, these processors will feature Lion Cove P-cores and an expanded L2 cache of 3MB for each P-core. The Skymont E-core cluster in these CPUs will also include 3MB of L3 cache. Support for Thunderbolt 4 is confirmed for the Z890 motherboards, which will be compatible with the new socket 1851. These motherboards are scheduled to be presented at Computex 2024 in Taiwan next month.

The introduction of the Core Ultra 200 series marks a continuation of Intel's strategy to revamp its processor lineup. In April, it was revealed that Intel plans to rebrand its upcoming Arrow Lake CPUs as the Core Ultra 200, following a new naming convention first introduced with the Meteor Lake series. Furthermore, Intel is expected to update its Raptor Lake-H laptop processors under the Core 200H series later this year. Intel's shift in processor naming conventions was announced last June, with the Core Ultra 200 series poised to replace the fourteenth generation Intel chips. However, the specific release dates for these new CPUs have yet to be disclosed.
