Intel is rumoured to be working on an extensive line-up of 18 SKUs for the Core Ultra 200 series. Intel is expected to make use of two dies, B0 for high-end chips and C0 for the mid-range. Although we were expecting three Core Ultra 9 versions, only two (285K and 275) …

Although Arrow Lake-S is just a few months away from release, it's not the only new desktop architecture Intel is launching in the next year or so. Contrary to earlier expectations, it looks like Intel wants to extend LGA1700 support for a few more years with Bartlett-S SKUs. Initially targeted …

Leaks are often based on early silicon versions such as ES1 or ES2 (Engineering Samples), which may not accurately reflect the final silicon's performance. These versions usually have varying clock speeds and features activated or disabled. Enthusiasts often prefer QS (Qualification Sample) versions, which closely represent the retail product's performance. …

Recent Geekbench 6 graphics test results show very promising results for Intel's upcoming Lunar Lake integrated graphics. The results suggest that the iGPU can offer performance comparable to entry-level GPUs like Intel's Arc A380 and other iGPU solutions like the AMD Radeon 780M. The benchmark results shared by Benchleaks were …
