The full lineup with specs for the entire Intel Arrow Lake 200 Ultra series of CPUs have leaked. Along with its release date, which expected this October.
After years of using a monolithic CPU design, which had a whole chip on a single processor, Intel had released Meteor Lake CPUs with a tile / chiplet based design. In it, the processor has dedicated tiles / chiplets for CPU compute, SoC, GPU and I/O respectively.
However, desktops did not get Meteor Lake CPUs with the tile design. Instead, Intel gave desktops Raptor Lake Refresh range of CPUs. Which are nothing but improved Raptor Lake CPUs.
With Raptor Lake and it’s refresh series facing crashing issues reported worldwide, everyone is waiting to finally get their hand’s on Intel’s next-gen CPU series for the desktops with tile design. The Intel Core Ultra 200 Arrow Lake CPUs.
We do know some things about them already. Like they will come without hyper-threading, will support only DDR5 RAM and that TSMC is likely to manufacture some higher-range models rather than Intel themselves.
Three months ago, we also came to know about the core config of some of these CPUs. Now we have a full line-up and its specs leak.
Full Intel Arrow Lake Lineup Specs Leak
User Jaykihn on Twitter (now X) and Benchlife (via @harukaze5719) have leaked the full lineup specs for the B0 silicon chips in the Core Ultra 200 Arrow Lake CPUs. The CPU lineup, which has 14 CPUs in it so far, starts from a 24 core (8P+16E) Intel Core Ultra 285K CPU and to goes till 10 core (6P+4E) Intel Core Ultra 225 CPU.
Not only that, it seems that the turbo boost clock sees some reduction over the turbo boost clocks of Intel Raptor Lake Refresh series. With the turbo boost clock reaching max 5.7GHz. Which is 300MHz less than what Intel Core i9-13900KS could reach due to its 6.0 max clock. However, the base clock seems higher than the Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs.
Additionally, the report reveals that Intel will launch Arrow Lake desktop CPUs starting from 10th October this year. It’s likely that the unlocked K/KF series of CPUs will launch first.
The date is interesting though. The 10th October is the same date on which AMD is going to release some of its server CPUs.
The report also mentions that the BIOS for these CPUs can only set Intel Default Settings for power settings. However, the Core Ultra 9 users can still choose Performance or Extreme mode within the BIOS. This is probably done to prevent crashes in the Arrow Lake series that are happening currently on the Raptor Lake / Refresh series of CPUs.

Specs Explained
What is TVB, TBMT 3.0 and TBT 2.0? Benchlife article explains it simply:
TVB = Thermal Velocity Boost (Full heat speed increases frequency), 1-Core
TBMT 3.0 = Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 (Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0), 2-Core
TBT 2.0 = Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 (Turbo Boost Technology), 1- Core
Basically, only Intel Core Ultra 9 285/K/T series supports TVB. Whereas, the Core Ultra 7 265/K/KF/F/T series supports only TBMT 3.0 and TBT 2.0. Similarly, other CPUs in the lineup support only TBT 2.0.
Also, where are the clocks and GPU specs for Intel Core Ultra 5 245 and Core Ultra 5 235? It seems that Jaykihn hasn’t provided them. Whether they are going to release later and not use the B0 stepping, we aren’t aware.
Also, where are Core Ultra 3 CPUs? Earlier rumors suggested that Intel will not make Core Ultra 3 CPUs. However, new rumors suggest that Intel will make them.
A month ago, Jaykihn mentioned that Intel Core Ultra 3 CPUs will not be based on Arrow Lake CPU core. It will be a refresh of earlier CPUs. While everyone expected a refresh of Raptor Lake, it is possible that the Core Ultra 3 Ultra lineup will be a refresh of core of the Meteor Lake CPUs, which are so far only for notebooks and not made for desktops.
Conclusion
We now know almost everything about Intel Arrow Lake Ultra Core 200 series of CPUs. From core specs to clocks to iGPU to their release dates.
We even have some idea that the CPU might not perform that great in some workloads, but the built-in iGPU performs great. However, those tests on the CPUs were done a year ago and checked during their initial tests and their performance might have increased in a big way since then.
What we don’t know are two big things. One, is Intel going to manufacture all of the above CPUs. There are some rumors that Intel will make only Core Ultra 5 and below CPUs and all the CPUs above it, that is Core Ultra 7 and Core Ultra 9’s CPU chip, will be made by TSMC instead.
The second thing we don’t know is the pricing. However, we expect either leakers to leak them or Intel to officially announce them, either on its release or before that.
Hopefully, Arrow Lake will not have crashes like Raptor Lake / Refresh series and it does better than what AMD is performing with it’s Ryzen 9000 series of CPUs.
