Intel's Core Ultra 2 desktop processors, expected to include 24 models, are part of the Arrow Lake-S series. Among these, the flagship K-series processor is the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, with a maximum clock speed of 5.7GHz. This marks a shift from Intel's previous clock stacking methods, as the new model does not match the 6.0GHz peak of the Intel Core i9-14900K or the 6.2GHz of the Intel Core i9-14900KS.
Here is a breakdown of the known specifications for the Intel Core Ultra 2 (Arrow Lake-S) desktop processors:

Key Terminology:
- TVB: Thermal Velocity Boost, which increases the frequency under optimal thermal conditions.
- TBMT 3.0: Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, which optimizes performance on select cores.
- TBT 2.0: Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, which enhances clock speeds on a single core.
The Arrow Lake-S processors, featuring the LGA 1851 socket, will no longer support Hyper-Threading or DDR4 memory. Instead, they will exclusively support DDR5-6400 MT/s memory. New Intel 800 series chip motherboards, also compatible with these processors, offer limited BIOS configuration options, with most settings defaulting to Intel's recommended parameters. However, users may still access Performance or Extreme settings, likely only available for the Core Ultra 9 series.
Intel's Arrow Lake-S series, also referred to as Intel Core Ultra 2, is anticipated to launch on October 10, 2024, following delays in the Intel Innovation 2024 event.
