Intel is on the cusp of releasing its Bartlett Lake-S desktop CPUs, as developments indicate growing support for this architecture in Linux and various applications.
Upcoming Launch of Intel’s Bartlett Lake-S CPUs: A Potential Game Changer for Consumers
In conjunction with the Arrow Lake release, Intel has unveiled a new series of Bartlett Lake-S desktop processors primarily targeting industrial applications. These CPUs are designed with high-performance tasks such as artificial intelligence (AI) workloads, media processing, and analytics in mind. Initially, it was believed that these processors would cater exclusively to industrial sectors, with little relevance for average consumers. However, there are signs indicating that Intel might be preparing to launch consumer variants of Bartlett Lake-S. This shift could provide a competitive edge, especially following the lackluster reception of the Arrow Lake-S (ARL-S) in the desktop space.

Recent insights from Phoronix reveal that Intel’s Linux team has begun integrating support for Bartlett Lake processors. A notable “one-liner”patch in the Linux kernel suggests a sense of urgency behind Intel’s decision to consider consumer-oriented releases. Moreover, notable overclocker “Toppc”has mentioned Bartlett Lake while confirming its compatibility with recent AIDA64 patches.
This new Bartlett Lake-S series will mark the debut of an entirely “P-core”architecture. There are plans to offer various models at different power levels: 125W, 65W, and 45W. The expected lineup includes 12 P-Core models for the i9, 10 for the i7, and 8 for the i5, with no Core 3 models anticipated as the focus shifts toward performance-intensive markets along with industrial and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Initially, it was speculated that consumer variants would launch concurrently with the ARL-S, indicating a possible strategic pivot by Intel.
Notably, the Bartlett Lake-S series will utilize the LGA 1700 socket and support existing 600-series and 700-series motherboards. This feature allows average consumers to upgrade seamlessly to the new processors without needing to invest in new motherboards. As Intel faces fierce competition from AMD and its alluring CPU options, introducing the Bartlett Lake-S series may be crucial for regaining a foothold in the consumer market, particularly as Team Blue’s share continues to decline in key regions like China.
