Intel Arrow Lake-S incoming The next-gen Intel desktop CPUs launching this month. The CPU maker has confirmed the release date of its new desktop CPU series, which also marks the introduction of Intel’s new desktop platform featuring the LGA-1851 socket, succeeding the 3-year-old LGA-1700...

We have independently learned from multiple sources that Intel is now inviting media and influencers to a special pre-announcement briefing. This briefing will disclose the first details on the Core Ultra 200 series and will be followed by a Q&A session. This event is not public, and the information shared during the briefing will remain under embargo until October 10th.

The company has confirmed that the formal introduction of the new series is set for October 10th, with the market launch scheduled for two weeks later, on October 24th. This is the same day the reviews will go live.

Intel Core Ultra 200 embargoes & dates​

• October 7th – Non Public – Pre-Launch Press Briefing with Robert Hallock and Roger Chandler
• October 10th – Public – Announcement
• October 24th – Public – Reviews and Sales

Hardware leaker @wnxod also corroborates these launch dates. Information on ASUS Z890 motherboards is also expected to be released on the same day as the CPUs, which makes sense.

We'll probably get some tech previews, talking about the new features on Arrow Lake, by next week.
And closer to the end of the month, we'll independent reviews from hardware sites.

Can't wait, I'm super interested in the Core Ultra 7 (unless the core ultra 9 is easily air cooled).
I assume the 9800X3D will be launching around the same time so I'll be watching to see what happens with that as well.

This or a 9800X3D will be in my 5090 build, so playing close attention.

I had heard people talk about CU-DIMM's and didn't really know what they were but then I saw this video explaining what it is and how it's different from regular DDR5:



and now I'm a bit more excited about the launch of Arrow Lake since it will be the first platform to support it.
Tl;dr: CU-DIMM's have an extra chip on the board that strengthens the signal (and more) between the CPU and RAM, and allows much faster speeds (think 8800MT/S - 10000 MT/S), tighter timings, and higher capacities than possible with normal RAM. Will be more expensive though.

It’s going to be interesting to see benches for both gaming and productivity once reviews are out and also post 9000 x3d series release.
