Intel plans to launch thirteen 2nd generation Core Ultra processors for desktops in 2024, according to information revealed by Benchlife and the leaker @OneRaichu on X (Twitter). The sources comment on the possible nomenclature that will be used in the manufacturer’s new hardware, as it is abandoning the classic “Core i” brand.
Three models unlocked for overclocking were revealed by leakers: Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K and Core Ultra 5 245K. Like their predecessors, they will be identified by the suffix “K” and will support TDP of up to 125 W.
In addition to these, the brand should also present cheaper processors that are blocked for overclocking. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275, Core Ultra 7 255 and Core Ultra 5 240 — all with a TDP of 65 W — are some of the names revealed, but the line is also expected to bring more options with reduced power, between 35 W and 65 W .
It is worth remembering that, recently, a leaker revealed the existence of a chip supposedly called “Core Ultra 5 240F”. The “F” suffix indicates that this model will not have an integrated GPU, so it could be cheaper than the Core Ultra 5 240.

For the entry-level segment, Intel is expected to launch “Core 3” processors, which will replace the “Core i3”. The new products will be part of a family called “Arrow Lake-S”, which will succeed the “Raptor Lake Refresh-S” family — popularly known as the 14th generation Core — bringing new lithography, architecture and unprecedented features.
It is speculated that the “K” series Core 9, Core 7 and Core 5 models will be equipped with 24, 20 and 14 coresrespectively, maintaining the hybrid design that combines high-performance cores with low-power cores.
The leakers claim that the line will not support hyperthreading, therefore, the number of processor cores will be equivalent to the number of threads.
The lines without overclocking support will have the same core configurations mentioned above, however, there will be a 10-core option (6 high-performance and 4 low-power) for the Core Ultra 5 models with a TDP of 65 W, such that they should be cheaper than the Core Ultra 5 with 14 cores.
Intel is expected to use two CPU dies for the “Arrow Lake-S” line. One of them will be “H0” with 8 high-performance cores and 16 low-power cores (8+16), while the other will be “C0”, with 6 high-performance cores and 8 low-power cores (6+8).
Both will be based on the Lion Cove (high performance) and Skymont (low consumption) architectures. These processors will be supported by motherboards with 800 series chipsets and the new LGA 1851 socket, which will replace the current platform, LGA 1700, which has been used since 2021 — the year the 12th generation Core was launched.
Speaking of memory support, it is speculated that the “K” models will be able to handle DDR5-6400 RAM, while the “non-K” models will only support DDR5-5600.
Intel has already confirmed that the “Arrow Lake-S” line will be launched in the second half of 2024, but has not yet confirmed the technical specifications. It is possible that the manufacturer will reveal new details about its future processors during the Computex 2024 conference, which will take place between the 3rd and 7th of June in Taiwan.
