Intel's Core Ultra 200S desktop processors, codenamed Arrow Lake, didn't exactly blow the doors off of the competition—including Intel's own last-generation processors—when they launched late last year. There were a variety of reasons for this, but the transition from monolithic to tiled processors was probably going...

At Computex 2025, veteran overclocker Pieter-Jan "Skatterbencher" Plaisier set a new world record for graphics processor frequency by pushing Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 9 285K to its absolute limit—specifically, the simply-named "Intel Graphics" integrated GPU, which hit an eye-watering 4250 MHz. While there's no...

As we detailed in our Ryzen 7 9800X3D review, AMD's first consumer Zen 5 chip with 3D V-Cache is a beastly slice of silicon that's an ideal choice to build a gaming PC around. The market agrees, as evidenced by the chip frequently being sold out at places like Amazon and Best Buy. In candid remarks shared at the...

Historically speaking, even when it wasn't the absolute fastest option, Intel has always been 'competitive' with longtime rival AMD in terms of CPU gaming performance. That is actually still the case for the company's 14th-generation Core processors, but its latest desktop CPUs, the Core Ultra 200 series, can...

Speaking plainly, Intel's recently-launched Core Ultra 200 desktop CPUs, code-named "Arrow Lake", weren't quite what we expected out of this new generation of chips from Intel. While productivity and content creation performance was potent in some cases, gaming performance saw a significant regression. As it happens...

In what might comes as a surprise to some and not to others, early demand for Intel's fresh-out-of-the-oven Core Ultra 200S processors appears virtually non-existent at Mindfactory, the largest online PC parts retailer in Germany. Preliminary sales data indicates that Mindfactory has not yet sold even just a single...

Intel kicked off the Arrow Lake party with a mix of "K" (unlocked multiplier) and "KF" (unlocked multiplier + disabled onboard graphics) models, and namely the Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K and 265KF, and Core Ultra 5 245K and 245KF. Eventually we will seen non-K models make a debut, evidence of which can be...

As is customary whenever a company like AMD or Intel launches a new processor lineup, someone is going to rip off the integrated heatspreader (IHS) to expose the die area. That's precisely what has happened with a purported Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) processor, and what makes this especially interesting is...

Memory overclocking can have a huge effect on application performance, depending on the app in question. One of the key features of Intel's new Arrow Lake processors is that they can support stratospheric memory transfer rates. However, that may only apply to the high-powered "K" series processors, at least if ASRock...
