Intel Ultra 200K “Arrow Lake” CPU Specifications Leak
Will Intel impress with Arrow Lake? It all comes down to Intel’s new cores
Thanks to Benchlife, full specifications for the Intel Core Ultra 200K series of Arrow Lake desktop processors have leaked. This has revealed that Intel’s next-generation CPUs will have core counts similar to those of their predecessors. Additionally, it also confirms that Intel’s Arrow Lake clock speeds will be lower than their Raptor Lake predecessors.
Ultimately, core clock speeds don’t matter. What matters is raw performance. With Arrow Lake, Intel will offer buyers new P-core and E-core designs. Both core designs promise large IPC increases, which should more than makeup for Arrow Lake’s lower maximum clock speeds. That said, it remains to be seen how these CPUs will perform in benchmarks and real-world use-case scenarios.
If Intel can deliver a large increase in IPC with its newest cores, Arrow Lake could be an excellent option for PC builders. These leaked Arrow Lake CPU specifications paint a narrow picture of these next-generation Intel CPUs. After all, they do not consider performance per clock or other factors.

Intel Arrow Lake Specifications – L2 Cache Upgrade?
Based on the above specifications, Intel has given its new Arrow Lake P-cores 3MB of L2 cache per core. Raptor Lake’s P-cores only had 2MB of L2 cache per core. That means that Arrow Lake can store 50% more data on its on-core P-core L2 cache. That’s a major upgrade, assuming that Intel has kept cache latencies at low levels. This could be a big deal for gaming workloads, which benefit greatly from large and fast caches.
Intel’s Arrow Lake CPUs are due to launch in Q4 2024, and our guess is that these new CPUs will launch in the latter half of October. Will Arrow Lake impress? I guess we will have to wait for reviews…
