Intel Expands CPU Lineup with Bartlett Lake-S and Arrow Lake Processors
Intel is set to diversify its processor offerings with the introduction of Bartlett Lake-S budget CPUs and the next-gen Arrow Lake processors, targeting different market segments.
- Intel is reportedly working on Bartlett Lake-S, a budget CPU lineup for desktops and notebooks, designed for the LGA 1700 platform.
- Arrow Lake processors, expected to debut towards the end of 2024, will replace the Raptor Lake Refresh lineup and introduce significant architectural changes.
- Bartlett Lake-S is rumored to offer higher caches and small IPC improvements over Raptor Lake Refresh, providing a cost-effective upgrade path for Alder Lake users.
- Arrow Lake will feature a new LGA 1851 socket design, necessitating new motherboards but maintaining cooler compatibility, and will drop Hyperthreading for improved core performance.
- Intel's future processors, including Panther Lake expected in 2025, will focus on AI performance improvements and architectural innovations, with Arrow Lake built on the Intel 20A process node.
