Interview: Intel’s Robert Hallock divulges the future beyond Core Ultra 200S Plus

You may have already seen our review of the new Core Ultra 5 250K Plus and Core Ultra 7 270K Plus CPUs HERE, in which case you have already seen a moment from our interview with Robert Hallock, VP/GM Enthusiast Channel Business at Intel. The time has come to grab a long drink and settle back for the whole conversation and we guarantee you will learn plenty about Intel's plans in 2026 and beyond.

While we were working on our reviews of the Core Ultra 200S Plus CPUs we were invited to interview Robert Hallock and Erin Maiorino, Director of CPU Technical Marketing in Client Computing Group. At this stage we knew the new CPUs were good, however our reviews hadn't been published so we took the opportunity to dig into some of the more unusual technical aspects of the CPUs.

We also figured it was a good time to ask Intel what went wrong with the original launch of Core Ultra 200S and to gently quiz them about the next generation CPU which is code named Nova Lake.

KitGuru says: Intel Core Ultra 200S Plus has delivered excellent results and today we learn why it took so long to finally come good.
