According to a reliable blogger, Intel's upcoming Bartlett Lake-S CPU family, codenamed for edge and industrial applications, will feature up to 12 high-performance P-cores and boost clocks reaching 5.9 GHz. These chips will use the LGA1700 socket but are not planned for consumer retail.
The lineup reportedly includes 11 models across 125W, 65W, and 45W power tiers. The flagship Core 273PQE is said to offer 12 Raptor Cove cores, 36MB of L3 cache, and a 32-execution-unit iGPU. While these specs could appeal to gamers on older LGA1700 platforms, the chips are officially targeted at embedded systems.
The main question is whether consumer motherboard makers will add support for these CPUs on existing Intel 600/700-series boards, offering a potential upgrade path. However, their availability on the open market and final pricing remain unclear.
Intel officially announced the Core 200E-series Bartlett Lake processors at CES 2025 but has not detailed specifications since. The new leak suggests the company may be nearing the order and shipment phase for its partners.
