Intel Arrow Lake-S “Non-K” Desktop Processors Leaked Online; “F” Variant Models Now Available in Chinese Retail Market

Intel is making waves in the desktop CPU market with the unveiling of its “Arrow Lake-S”processors in China. Recent reports include images and listings of several new processor WeUs, suggesting they are already hitting retail shelves.

Upcoming Launch of Arrow Lake Desktop CPUs: Non-K and F Variants

In a highly anticipated event, Intel plans to introduce its next generation of desktop processors, dubbed the “Core Ultra 200″series, at CES 2025. This lineup is expected to feature various “non-K”and “F”variants. According to insights from @harukaze5719, Intel will release four non-K WeUs shortly: the Core Ultra 9 285, Ultra 7 265, Ultra 5 245, and Ultra 5 225. Initial images depicting these models indicate they are packaged in shipping trays, typically used for delivering to system integrators.

Additionally, CPU-Z snippets shared via @harukaze5719 reveal details about these non-K models, although it’s essential to note that they are currently identified as “engineering samples.”The Core Ultra 9 285 is configured with 24 cores (8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores), boasting a maximum thermal design power (TDP) of 65W and peak boost speeds up to 5.6 GHz. Its counterpart, the Core Ultra 7 265, offers a 20-core configuration (8P + 12E) with boost clocks reaching 5.3 GHz and a similar TDP of 65W.

For mid-range users, the Core Ultra 5 245 is promising, featuring a configuration of 14 cores (6P + 8E) and max clock speeds of 5.1 GHz while maintaining a 65W TDP. The more entry-level Core Ultra 5 225 variant will present a core structure of 10 cores (6P + 4E) with peak clock speeds at 4.9 GHz and a slightly lower TDP of 64W.

Beyond the non-K versions, several “F”variants have also appeared in Chinese retail outlets. Notable models like the Core Ultra 5 230F and Core Ultra 7 265F have been spotted, with the former reportedly limited to the Chinese market, as per reports from @realVictor_M.

As of now, the emerging details sketch a clearer picture of Intel’s Arrow Lake-S lineup, with further confirmations expected during their CES 2025 keynote. The formal launch of these processors is scheduled for January 13.
