Five SKUs, all available for pre-order

Intel has officially launched the new Core Ultra 200S "Arrow Lake" desktop CPUs, with five SKUs that are now available for pre-order and will ship out on October 24th. The new Arrow Lake architecture brings Lion Cove P-cores, Skymont E-cores, Xe-LPG GPU, and NPU3, all neatly stacked in tiles. In addition, Intel's Z890 motherboards are also launched and these are available as well.

Foveros packaging at its best with new P- and E-cores, Intel Thread Director, new NPU, and Arc Xe2 GPU

Intel has shed more details about its Lunar Lake architecture during the Tech Tour event, including details about all the improvements it will bring to the new Core Ultra mobile processors. This is an extensive list that includes new Lion Cove P-cores, Skymont E-cores, new NPU, the Arc Xe2 Battlemage GPU, and enhancements to the Intel Thread Director, all neatly packaged into a single-tiled SoC.

Part of the $3.5b investment and focused on advanced packaging technologies

Intel has opened up its new Fab 9 factory in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. The new factory is a part of Intel's previously announced $3.5 billion investment to equip its New Mexico operations for advanced semiconductor packaging technologies, namely Foveros, a 3D stacked packaging technology that stacks compute tiles vertically.

A trillion transistors by 2030

Chipzilla appears to be beavering away at a new form of processor which can handle a trillion transistors by 2030.

Foveros 3D stacking with Hybrid CPU for 4+1 CPU and up to 64 EUs GPU

We have been hearing about Intel's Lakefield CPUs for quite some time, and these combine one big with four small CPU cores on a small footprint, thanks to the 3D stacking Foveros technology. Now, Intel disclosed a bit more information, including two SKUs, aimed at ultra-mobile small form-factor premium laptops.
