Intel Core is a line ofmulti-core (with the exception of Core Solo and Core 2 Solo)central processing units (CPUs) formidrange, embedded, workstation, high-end and enthusiast computer markets marketed byIntel Corporation. These processors displaced the existing mid- to high-endPentium processors at the time of their introduction, moving the Pentium to the entry level. Identical or more capable versions of Core processors are also sold asXeon processors for theserver andworkstation markets.
Core was launched in January 2006 as a mobile-only series, consisting of single- and dual-core models. It was then succeeded later in July by the Core 2 series, which included both desktop and mobile processors with up to four cores, and introduced 64-bit support.
Since 2008, Intel began introducing the Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 and Core i9 lineup of processors, succeeding Core 2.
A new naming scheme debuted in 2023, consisting of Core 3, Core 5, and Core 7 for mainstream processors, and Core Ultra 5, Core Ultra 7, and Core Ultra 9 for "premium" high-end processors.
Although Intel Core is a brand that promises no internal consistency or continuity, the processors within this family have been, for the most part, broadly similar.
The first products receiving this designation were the Core Solo and Core DuoYonah processors for mobile from thePentium M design tree,fabricated at65 nm and brought to market in January 2006. These are substantially different in design than the rest of the Intel Core product group, having derived from thePentium Pro lineage that predatedPentium 4.
The first Intel Core desktop processor—and typical family member—came from theConroe iteration, a 65 nm dual-core design brought to market in July 2006, based on theIntel Core microarchitecture with substantial enhancements in micro-architectural efficiency and performance, outperforming Pentium 4 across the board (or near to it), while operating at drastically lower clock rates. Maintaining highinstructions per cycle (IPC) on a deeplypipelined and resourcedout-of-order execution engine has remained a constant fixture of the Intel Core product group ever since.
The new substantial bump in microarchitecture came with the introduction of the 45 nmBloomfield desktop processor in November 2008 on theNehalem architecture, whose main advantage came from redesigned I/O and memory systems featuring the newIntel QuickPath Interconnect and an integratedmemory controller supporting up to three channels ofDDR3 memory.
Subsequent performance improvements have tended toward making additions rather than profound changes, such as adding theAdvanced Vector Extensions (AVX) instruction set extensions toSandy Bridge, first released on 32 nm in January 2011. Time has also brought improved support forvirtualization and a trend toward higher levels of system integration and management functionality (and along with that, increased performance) through the ongoing evolution of facilities such asIntel Active Management Technology (iAMT).
As of 2017, the Core brand comprised four product lines – the entry level i3, the mainstream i5, the high-end i7, and the "enthusiast" i9. Core i7 was introduced in 2008, followed by i5 in 2009, and i3 in 2010. The first Core i9 models were released in 2017.
In 2023, Intel announced that it would drop the "i" moniker from their processor branding, making it "Core 3/5/7/9". The company would introduce the "Ultra" branding for high-end processors as well.[1] The new naming scheme debuted with the launch ofRaptor Lake-U Refresh andMeteor Lake processors in 2024, using the "Core 3/5/7" branding for mainstream processors and "Core Ultra 5/7/9" branding for "premium" high-end processors.[2][3]

The originalCore brand refers to Intel's32-bit mobiledual-corex86 CPUs, which were derived from thePentium M branded processors. The processor family used an enhanced version of theP6 microarchitecture. It emerged in parallel with theNetBurst microarchitecture (Intel P68) of thePentium 4 brand, and was a precursor of the 64-bitCore microarchitecture of Core 2 branded CPUs. The Core brand had two branches: theDuo (dual-core) andSolo (single-core, which replaced the Pentium M brand of single-core mobile processor).
Intel launched the Core brand on January 6, 2006, with the release of the 32-bitYonah CPU – Intel's first dual-core mobile (low-power) processor. Its dual-core layout closely resembled two interconnectedPentium M branded CPUs packaged as a singledie (piece) silicon chip (IC). Hence, the 32-bit microarchitecture of Core branded CPUs – contrary to its name – had more in common with Pentium M branded CPUs than with the subsequent64-bit Core microarchitecture ofCore 2 branded CPUs. Despite a majorrebranding effort byIntel starting January 2006, some companies continued to market computers with the Yonah core marked as Pentium M.
The Core series is also the first Intel processor used in anApple Macintosh computer. The Core Duo was the CPU for the first generationMacBook Pro, while the Core Solo appeared in Apple'sMac Mini line. Core Duo signified the beginning ofApple's shift to Intel processors across the entire Mac line.
In 2007, Intel began branding the Yonah CPUs intended for mainstream mobile computers asPentium Dual-Core, not to be confused with the desktop 64-bit Core microarchitecture CPUs also branded as Pentium Dual-Core.
September 2007 and January 4, 2008 marked the discontinuation of a number ofCore branded CPUs including several Core Solo, Core Duo, Celeron and one Core 2 Quad products.[19][20]
Intel Core Solo[21] (product code 80538) uses the same two-core die as the Core Duo, but features only oneactive core. Depending on demand, Intel may also simply disable one of the cores to sell the chip at the Core Solo price—this requires less effort than launching and maintaining a separate line of CPUs that physically only have one core. Intel had used the same strategy previously with the486 CPU in which early486SX CPUs were in fact manufactured as486DX CPUs but with theFPU disabled.
| Codename | Brand name (list) | L2 Cache | Socket | TDP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yonah | Core Solo T1xxx | 2 MB | Socket M | 27–31 W |
| Core Solo U1xxx | 5.5–6 W |
Intel Core Duo[22] (product code 80539) consists of two cores on one die, a 2 MB L2 cache shared by both cores, and an arbiter bus that controls both L2 cache andFSB (front-side bus) access.

| Core Duo U2xxx | 9 W |
The successor to Core is the mobile version of theCore 2 line of processors based on the Core microarchitecture,[23] released on July 27, 2006. The release of the mobile version of Intel Core 2 marks the reunification of Intel's desktop and mobile product lines as Core 2 processors were released for desktops and notebooks, unlike the first Intel Core CPUs that were targeted only for notebooks (although they were used in some small form factor and all-in-one desktops, like theiMac and theMac Mini).
Unlike the original Core, Intel Core 2 is a 64-bit processor, supportingIntel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T). Another difference between the original Core Duo and the new Core 2 Duo is an increase in the amount oflevel 2 cache. The new Core 2 Duo has tripled the amount of on-board cache to 6 MB. Core 2 also introduced a quad-core performance variant to the single- and dual-core chips, branded Core 2 Quad, as well as an enthusiast variant, Core 2 Extreme. All three chips are manufactured at a 65 nmlithography, and in 2008, a 45 nm lithography and support front side bus speeds ranging from 533 MT/s to 1.6 GT/s. In addition, the 45 nm die shrink of the Core microarchitecture addsSSE4.1 support to all Core 2 microprocessors manufactured at a 45 nm lithography, therefore increasing the calculation rate of the processors.
The Core 2 Solo,[24] introduced in September 2007, is the successor to the Core Solo and is available only as an ultra-low-power mobile processor with 5.5 Watt thermal design power. The original U2xxx series "Merom-L" used a special version of the Merom chip withCPUID number 10661 (model 22, stepping A1) that only had a single core and was also used in some Celeron processors. The later SU3xxx are part of Intel'sCULV range of processors in a smaller μFC-BGA 956 package but contain the same Penryn chip as the dual-core variants, with one of the cores disabled during manufacturing.
| Codename | Brand name (list) | L2 cache | Socket | TDP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Merom-L | Mobile Core 2 Solo U2xxx | 1 MB | FCBGA | 5.5 W |
| Penryn-L | Mobile Core 2 Solo SU3xxx | 3 MB | BGA956 | 5.5 W |
The majority of the desktop and mobile Core 2 processor variants are Core 2 Duo[25][26] with two processor cores on a singleMerom,Conroe,Allendale,Penryn, orWolfdale chip. These come in a wide range of performance and power consumption, starting with the relatively slow ultra-low-power Uxxxx (10 W) and low-power Lxxxx (17 W) versions, to the more performance oriented Pxxxx (25 W) and Txxxx (35 W) mobile versions and the Exxxx (65 W) desktop models. The mobile Core 2 Duo processors with an 'S' prefix in the name are produced in a smaller μFC-BGA 956 package, which allows building more compact laptops.
Within each line, a higher number usually refers to a better performance, which depends largely on core and front-side bus clock frequency and amount of second level cache, which are model-specific. Core 2 Duo processors typically use the full L2 cache of 2, 3, 4, or 6 MB available in the specificstepping of the chip, while versions with the amount of cache reduced during manufacturing are sold for the low-end consumer market asCeleron orPentium Dual-Core processors. Like those processors, some low-end Core 2 Duo models disable features such asIntel Virtualization Technology.

Core 2 Quad[27][28] processors aremulti-chip modules consisting of two dies similar to those used in Core 2 Duo, forming a quad-core processor. This allows twice the performance of a dual-core processors at the same clock frequency in scenarios that take advantage of multi-threading.
Initially, all Core 2 Quad models were versions of Core 2 Duo desktop processors,Kentsfield derived from Conroe andYorkfield from Wolfdale, but laterPenryn-QC was added as a high-end version of the mobile dual-core Penryn.
The Xeon 32xx and 33xx processors are mostly identical versions of the desktop Core 2 Quad processors and can be used interchangeably.

Core 2 Extreme processors[29][30] are enthusiast versions of Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors, usually with a higher clock frequency and an unlockedclock multiplier, which makes them especially attractive foroverclocking. This is similar to earlierPentium D processors labeled asExtreme Edition. Core 2 Extreme processors were released at a much higher price than their regular version, often $999 or more.

With the release of the Nehalem microarchitecture in November 2008,[31]Intel introduced a new naming scheme for its Core processors. There are three variants, Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7, but the names no longer correspond to specific technical features like the number of cores. Instead, the brand is now divided from low-level (i3), through mid-range (i5) to high-end performance (i7),[32] which correspond to three, four and five stars in Intel's Intel Processor Rating[33] following on from the entry-level Celeron (one star) and Pentium (two stars) processors.[34] Common features of all Nehalem based processors include an integratedDDR3 memory controller as well asQuickPath Interconnect orPCI Express andDirect Media Interface on the processor replacing the aging quad-pumpedFront Side Bus used in all earlier Core processors. All these processors have 256 KB L2 cache per core, plus up to 12 MB shared L3 cache. Because of the new I/O interconnect, chipsets and mainboards from previous generations can no longer be used with Nehalem-based processors.
Intel intended the Core i3 as the new low end of the performance processor line from Intel, following the retirement of theCore 2 brand.[35][36]
The first Core i3 processors were launched on January 7, 2010.[37]
The first Nehalem based Core i3 wasClarkdale-based, with an integratedGPU and two cores.[38] The same processor is also available as Core i5 and Pentium, with slightly different configurations.
The Core i3-3xxM processors are based onArrandale, the mobile version of the Clarkdale desktop processor. They are similar to the Core i5-4xx series but running at lower clock speeds and withoutTurbo Boost.[39] According to an IntelFAQ they do not supportError Correction Code (ECC) memory.[40] According to motherboard manufacturer Supermicro, if a Core i3 processor is used with a server chipset platform such as Intel 3400/3420/3450, the CPU supports ECC with UDIMM.[41] When asked, Intel confirmed that, although the Intel 5 series chipset supports non-ECC memory only with the Core i5 or i3 processors, using those processors on a motherboard with 3400 series chipsets it supports the ECC function of ECC memory.[42] A limited number of motherboards by other companies also support ECC with Intel Core ix processors; the Asus P8B WS is an example, but it does not support ECC memory under Windows non-server operating systems.[43]

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clarkdale | Core i3 | 2 | 4 MB | LGA 1156 | 73 W | Direct Media Interface, IntegratedGPU |

Lynnfield were the first Core i5 processors using theNehalem microarchitecture, introduced on September 8, 2009, as a mainstream variant of the earlier Core i7.[44][45] Lynnfield Core i5 processors have an 8 MBL3 cache, a DMI bus running at 2.5 GT/s and support for dual-channel DDR3-800/1066/1333 memory and haveHyper-threading disabled. The same processors with different sets of features (Hyper-threading and other clock frequencies) enabled are sold asCore i7-8xx andXeon 3400-series processors, which should not be confused with high-end Core i7-9xx and Xeon 3500-series processors based onBloomfield. A new feature called Turbo Boost Technology was introduced which maximizes speed for demanding applications, dynamically accelerating performance to match the workload.
AfterNehalem received a 32 nmWestmere die shrink,Arrandale, the dual-core mobile Core i5 processors and its desktop counterpartClarkdale was introduced in January 2010, together with Core i7-6xx and Core i3-3xx processors based on the same architecture. Arrandale processors have integrated graphics capability. Core i3-3xx does not support forTurbo Boost, L3 cache in Core i5-5xx processors is reduced to 3 MB, while the Core i5-6xx uses the full cache,[46] Clarkdale is sold as Core i5-6xx, along with related Core i3 and Pentium processors. It has Hyper-Threading enabled and the full 4 MB L3 cache.[47]
According to Intel "Core i5 desktop processors and desktop boards typically do not support ECC memory",[48] but information on limited ECC support in the Core i3 section also applies to Core i5 and i7.[citation needed]

The Core i7 brand targets the business and high-end consumer markets for both desktop and laptop computers,[50] and is distinguished from theCore i3 (entry-level consumer),Core i5 (mainstream consumer), andXeon (server and workstation) brands.
Introduced in late 2008,Bloomfield was the first Core i7 processors based on the Nehalem architecture.[51][52][53][54] The following year,Lynnfield desktop processors andClarksfield mobile processors brought new quad-core Core i7 models based on the said architecture.[55]
AfterNehalem received a 32 nmWestmere die shrink,Arrandale dual-core mobile processors were introduced in January 2010, followed by Core i7's first six-core desktop processorGulftown on March 16, 2010. Both the regular Core i7 and theExtreme Edition are advertised as five stars in the Intel Processor Rating.
The first-generation Core i7 uses two different sockets;LGA 1366 designed for high-end desktops and servers, andLGA 1156 used in low- and mid-end desktops and servers. In each generation, the highest-performing Core i7 processors use the same socket andQPI-based architecture as the medium-end Xeon processors of that generation, while lower-performing Core i7 processors use the same socket and PCIe/DMI/FDI architecture as the Core i5.
"Core i7" is a successor to theIntel Core 2 brand.[56][57][58][59] Intel representatives stated that they intended themonikerCore i7 to help consumers decide which processor to purchase as Intel releases newer Nehalem-based products in the future.[60]

In early 2011, Intel introduced a new microarchitecture namedSandy Bridge. This is the second generation of the Core processor microarchitecture. It kept all the existing brands from Nehalem, including Core i3/i5/i7, and introduced new model numbers. The initial set of Sandy Bridge processors includes dual- and quad-core variants, all of which use a single 32 nm die for both the CPU and integrated GPU cores, unlike the earlier microarchitectures. All Core i3/i5/i7 processors with the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture have a four-digit model number. With the mobile version, thethermal design power can no longer be determined from a one- or two-letter suffix but is encoded into the CPU number. Starting with Sandy Bridge, Intel no longer distinguishes the code names of the processor based on number of cores, socket or intended usage; they all use the same code name as the microarchitecture itself.
Ivy Bridge is the codename for Intel's 22 nm die shrink of the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture based on tri-gate ("3D") transistors, introduced in April 2012.
Released on January 20, 2011, the Core i3-2xxx line of desktop and mobile processors is a direct replacement of the 2010 "Clarkdale" Core i3-5xx and "Arrandale" Core i3-3xxM models, based on the new microarchitecture. While they require new sockets and chipsets, the user-visible features of the Core i3 are largely unchanged, including the lack of support forTurbo Boost andAES-NI. Unlike the Sandy Bridge-based Celeron and Pentium processors, the Core i3 line does support the newAdvanced Vector Extensions. This particular processor is the entry-level processor of this new series of Intel processors.

In January 2011, Intel released new quad-core Core i5 processors based on the "Sandy Bridge" microarchitecture at CES 2011. New dual-core mobile processors and desktop processors arrived in February 2011.
The Core i5-2xxx line of desktop processors are mostly quad-core chips, with the exception of the dual-core Core i5-2390T, and include integrated graphics, combining the key features of the earlier Core i5-6xx and Core i5-7xx lines. The suffix after the four-digit model number designates unlocked multiplier (K), low-power (S) and ultra-low-power (T).
The desktop CPUs now all have four non-SMT cores (like the i5-750), with the exception of the i5-2390T. The DMI bus runs at 5 GT/s.
The mobile Core i5-2xxxM processors are all dual-core and hyper-threaded chips like the previous Core i5-5xxM series, and share most of the features with that product line.

The Core i7 brand was the high-end for Intel's desktop and mobile processors, until the announcement of the i9 in 2017. Its Sandy Bridge models feature the largest amount of L3 cache and the highest clock frequency. Most of these models are very similar to their smaller Core i5 siblings. The quad-core mobile Core i7-2xxxQM/XM processors follow the previous "Clarksfield" Core i7-xxxQM/XM processors, but now also include integrated graphics.

Kaby Lake is the codename for the seventh generation Core processor, and was launched in October 2016 (mobile chips)[65] and January 2017 (desktop chips).[66] With the latest generation of microarchitecture, Intel decided to produce Kaby Lake processors without using their "tick–tock" manufacturing and design model.[67] Kaby Lake features the same Skylake microarchitecture and is fabricated using Intel's14 nanometer manufacturing process technology.[67]
Built on an improved 14 nm process (14FF+), Kaby Lake features faster CPU clock speeds andTurbo frequencies. Beyond these process and clock speed changes, little of the CPU architecture has changed fromSkylake, resulting in identicalIPC.
Kaby Lake features a new graphics architecture to improve performance in3D graphics and4K video playback. It adds nativeHigh-bandwidth Digital Content Protection 2.2 support, along with fixed function decode ofH.264/MPEG-4 AVC,High Efficiency Video Coding Main and Main10/10-bit, andVP9 10-bit and 8-bit video. Hardware encode is supported for H.264/MPEG-4 AVC,HEVC Main10/10-bit, and VP9 8-bit video. VP9 10-bit encode is not supported in hardware.OpenCL 2.1 is now supported.
Kaby Lake is the first Core architecture to supporthyper-threading for the Pentium-branded desktop CPU SKU. Kaby Lake also features the first overclocking-enabled i3-branded CPU.
Features common to desktop Kaby Lake CPUs:

Cannon Lake (formerlySkymont) isIntel's codename for the10-nanometerdie shrink of theKaby Lakemicroarchitecture. As a die shrink, Cannon Lake is a new process in Intel's "process–architecture–optimization" execution plan as the next step in semiconductor fabrication.[82] Cannon Lake are the first mainstream CPUs to include theAVX-512 instruction set. In comparison to the previous generationAVX2 (AVX-256), the new generation AVX-512 most notably provides double the width of data registers and double the number of registers. These enhancements would allow for twice the number of floating point operations per register due to the increased width in addition to doubling the overallnumber of registers, resulting in theoretical performance improvements of up to four times the performance of AVX2.[83][84]
AtCES 2018, Intel announced that they had started shipping mobile Cannon Lake CPUs at the end of 2017 and that they would ramp up production in 2018.[85][86][87] No further details were disclosed.

Ice Lake is codename for Intel's 10th generation Intel Core processors, representing an enhancement of the 'architecture' of the preceding generation Kaby Lake/Cannon Lake processors (as specified in Intel'sprocess–architecture–optimization execution plan). As the successor to Cannon Lake, Ice Lake uses Intel's newer 10 nm+ fabrication process, and is powered by theSunny Cove microarchitecture.
Ice Lake are the first Intel CPUs to feature in-silicon mitigations for the hardware vulnerabilities discovered in 2017,Meltdown andSpectre. Theseside-channel attacks exploitbranch prediction's use ofspeculative execution. These exploits may cause the CPU to reveal cached private information which the exploiting process is not intended to be able to access as a form oftiming attack.[citation needed]

Raptor Lake Refresh is Intel's codename for the 14th generation of Intel Core processors. It is a refresh and based on the same architecture of the 13th generation with clock speeds of up to 6.2 GHz on the Core i9 14900KS, 6 GHz on the Core i9 14900K and 14900KF, 5.6 GHz on the Core i7 14700K and 14700KF, and 5.3 GHz on the Core i5 14600K and 13400KF as well as UHD Graphics 770 on non-F processors. They are still based on the Intel 7 process node.[113] Introduced on October 17, 2023, these CPUs are designed for the LGA 1700 socket, which allows for compatibility with 600 and 700 series motherboards.[114] It is the last generation CPUs to use the Intel Core i3, i5, i7 and i9 naming scheme as Intel announced that they will be dropping the "i" prefix for future Intel Core processors in 2023.[1]
The 14th generation CPU does not feature any major architectural changes over Raptor Lake, but does feature some minor improvements.[115] The 14th generation CPU was widely criticized[original research?] as a last-ditch effort to beat AMD'sZen 4 with 3D V-Cache[116][117] Intel's desktop version of the next generation architecture,Meteor Lake, was cancelled and theArrow Lake architecture was not yet ready for release.[118]
In addition to the Raptor Lake-S Refresh desktop processors, Intel also launched 14th gen Raptor Lake-HX Refresh mobile processors in January 2024.[119]
CPUs inbold below featureECC memory support only when paired with a motherboard based on the W680 chipset according to each respective Intel Ark product page.

Starting with the Meteor Lake mobile series launched in December 2023 (with the exception of Raptor Lake-HX Refresh),[120] Intel introduced a new naming system for its new and upcoming processors. The numbers 3, 5, 7 and 9 which denote tiers are still used, but the letter 'i' is dropped, and there is a new "Core Ultra" sub-brand. Like AMD with theirRyzen 7000 mobile series and later processors, Intel now refreshes older architectures to be sold as more affordable mainstream processors while the latest architectures are released as "premium" products, under the Core Ultra brand.[121]
This new naming system also cuts the number of model number digits down from 4-5 to 3-4, e.g. Core 1xx series instead of Core 8xxx or 14xxx series.
Intel no longer refers to iterations of product series under "nth generation" anymore, instead using "Seriesn". Otherwise the latest series launched in December 2023 would be called 15th generation.[122]
The Series 1 of Core processors consists of the Raptor Lake-U Refresh mobile series released January 2024 under the Core brand,[121] and the Meteor Lake-U/H mobile series released December 2023 under the Core Ultra brand.[120]

Meteor Lake is Intel'scodename for the first generation of Intel Core Ultra mobile processors,[123] and was officially launched on December 14, 2023.[124] It is the first generation of Intel mobile processors to use achiplet architecture which means that the processor is a multi-chip module.[123] Tim Wilson led thesystem on a chip development for this generation microprocessor.[125]
Due to itsMulti-Chip Module (MCM) construction, Meteor Lake can take advantage of different process nodes that are best suited to the use case. Meteor Lake is built using four different fabrication nodes, including both Intel's own nodes and external nodes outsourced to fabrication competitorTSMC. The "Intel 4" process used for the CPU tile is the first process node in which Intel is utilisingextreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, which is necessary for creating nodes 7nm and smaller. The interposer base tile is fabricated on Intel's 22FFL, or "Intel 16", process.[126][127] The 22FFLFin Field-Effect Transistor (FinFET) Low-power node, first announced in March 2017, was designed for inexpensive low power operation.[128] The interposer base tile is designed to connect tiles together and allow for die-to-die communication which does not require the most advanced, expensive nodes so an older, inexpensive node can be used instead.
| Tile | Node | EUV | Die size | Ref. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compute tile | Intel 4 (7nm EUV) |  | 69.67 mm2 | [129] [130] [131] |
| Graphics tile | TSMCN5 | | 44.25 mm2 | |

Arrow Lake is Intel’s codename for the second generationCore Ultra processors. Announced on October 10, 2024, Arrow Lake is the first series of desktop Intel processors not to feature a monolithic design, instead adopting the chiplet design used on Meteor Lake.[133] Intel primarily markets this product as being on-par with Raptor Lake in performance whilst being much more power efficient.[134] The processors use the LGA 1851 socket with the 800 series chipset. It also represented a shift in branding, from the Intel Core 'i' series branding to the new 'Intel Core Ultra' branding for Intel's desktop processors.
Arrow Lake features multiple new architectural innovations over the previous generation Raptor Lake desktop processors, such as utilizing a chiplet-based 'tile' design, with the flagship 285K processor having 6 tiles, including a compute tile, SoC tile, graphics tile, I/O tile, and a filler tile.[135] All tiles are placed over an interposer base tile, packaged via Intel's Foveros Technology. Most of Arrow Lake is also built usingTSMC's process nodes, except the base tile built using Intel's 22nm node.[136][137] Arrow Lake is also the first Intel desktop processor lineup to feature anNPU, with each processor containing an NPU capable of upto 13 TOPS.[138]
Arrow Lake released on October 24, 2024, to mixed reviews due to its lack of generational performance uplift or even performance regression in some cases.[139] Many reviewers also noticed that the processors had multiple bugs at launch, and inconsistent performance caused by certainBIOS configurations. Intel addressed this issue via a series of microcode and Windows updates released through December 2024 and January 2025, aiming to improve performance and to fix bugs with the platform, although some reviewers noticed no satisfactory gains, and sometimes even further regressions caused by the microcode update.[140][141]
In addition to the Core Ultra 200S Arrow Lake desktop processors, Intel also announced the Core Ultra 200H, Core Ultra 200HX, and Core Ultra 200U Arrow Lake processors for mobile at CES 2025.[142]
