Intel has introduced its newest technology Core Extremely 200S collection of desktop processors based mostly on its new Arrow Lake structure. This new technology boasts of modest enhancements in efficiency however with a lot higher developments in effectivity.
Intel is claiming 9% enchancment in IPC (directions per clock) for the P-cores in comparison with 14th gen, 32% enchancment in IPC for the E-cores, which the corporate claims leads to as much as 13% enchancment in multi-threaded efficiency in comparison with the competitors. Nonetheless, it isn’t all about efficiency this technology, as Intel claims 40% discount in package deal energy this technology and decrease temperatures.
The brand new Arrow Lake chips include a brand new CPU design, with Intel transferring away from its conventional monolithic design to a brand new tile-based design. Every part is on a separate tile, with the CPU, GPU, SoC, and IO all getting their very own tiles, together with a base tile and filler tile finishing the package deal. The brand new CPU or compute tile ground pan exhibits the brand new design, with the P-cores and the E-core clusters all sharing the identical L3 cache with devoted L2 caches.
Being introduced immediately are 5 new SKUs, which incorporates the Intel Core Extremely 9 285K on the prime changing the earlier Core i9-14900K, the Core Extremely 7 265K and 265KF changing the Core i7-14700K and 14700KF, and the Core Extremely 5 245K and 245KF changing the Core i5-14600K and 14600KF.
The 285K has an 8P+16E core design whereas the 265K has 8P+12E cores. The 245K will get 6P+8E cores. That is related configuration to the 14th gen fashions, with a serious distinction being that there isn’t a HyperThreading anymore, so every of the P-cores have a single thread every, similar to the E-cores.
All fashions with an iGPU get 4 Intel Xe Cores and all fashions have an NPU built-in able to 13 TOPS.
Intel has additionally made some concessions to the clock speeds on the 200S collection in comparison with earlier generations. The flagship 285K now hits as much as 5.7GHz in comparison with 6GHz on the 14900K. The 265K and 245K are equally down in comparison with their predecessors.
By way of efficiency, Intel has some combined claims to make. The vital factor to notice is that these all relate to the flagship 285K, as the corporate has offered no efficiency information for the 265K and 245K fashions.
Beginning with productiveness efficiency, Intel claims the 285K is on common 8% quicker than the 14900K and 4% quicker than the 9950X in single-threaded workloads. In the meantime, the 285K is 15% quicker than the 14900K and 13% quicker than the 9950X in multi-threaded workloads. Intel additionally claims the 285K can obtain the identical multi-threaded efficiency because the 14900K at half the facility.
The place issues get underwhelming is in gaming, the place Intel outright claims efficiency parity with the 14900K in gaming, which implies you possibly can count on to get related and even equivalent body charges in most video games. The one silver lining right here is that Intel claims that the 285K can obtain this parity at a lot decrease energy figures so although you don’t get extra frames, you might be burning a lot much less energy to take action. On common, Intel is claiming round 73W discount in complete system energy consumption with figures as excessive as 165W in some circumstances.
Decrease energy additionally means decrease warmth technology, and Intel claims the 285K runs on common 13 levels cooler than the 14900K.
Having mentioned that, whereas the 285K is extra environment friendly than the 14900K, that doesn’t imply it consumes much less energy basically. Just like the 14900K, the 285K has a most energy turbo energy of 250W. That is additionally true for the 265K, whereas the 245K clocks in at 159W.
The brand new technology of processors include new socket and motherboard chipsets. The 200S collection chips are appropriate with socket LGA1851 and Intel 800 Collection chipset. In comparison with the 700 Collection, 800 Collection has extra PCIe lanes and drops help for DDR4 reminiscence. Talking of reminiscence, all the brand new chips help 6400MHz reminiscence as the brand new JEDEC normal, with Intel recommending 8000MHz.
The Core Extremely 9 285K is priced at $589, the Core Extremely 7 265K at $394, and the Core Extremely 5 245K at $309. Gross sales and pre-orders begin October 24.
