The chip giant is working on Intel Bartlett-S, a new generation of processors that moves away from the approach that the company has been maintaining since the launch of Alder Lake-S, as it abandons the hybrid configuration of P cores and E cores, and bets only by high-performance cores.
This approach makes Intel Bartlett-S a kind of “super” version of its high-performance processors, as they will be designed to offer the maximum possible performance per core and will do without high-efficiency cores. We know, at the moment, that Intel plans to launch five different models, and that these will be aimed at the high-performance consumer market.
Intel Bartlett-S It will also have a hybrid version with high-performance cores and high-efficiency cores, but it’s curious because in this case there won’t be a Core 9, the top-of-the-range model will be a Core 7. TDP levels will also be quite a bit lower than what we saw in the Intel Raptor Lake-S processors, as no model will exceed 65 watts base.
Intel Bartlett-S: specifications and models
Within the version limited to high-performance cores we will have a total of three models:
- Core 9 with 12 P cores and 65 watt TDP.
- Core 7 with 10 P cores and 65 watt TDP.
- Core 5 with 8 P cores and 65 watt TDP.
This new line will be focused mainly on sector gamingand also to those users who prioritize performance and do not need to have a large number of cores and threads, but rather prioritize single-thread processor performance.
It is unclear whether these processors will support HyperThreading, and their launch is expected in the third quarter of 2025.
In the hybrid series with P cores and E cores we will see a total of five models:
- Core 7 with 8 P cores and 16 E cores with a TDP of up to 65 watts.
- Core 5 with 6 P cores and 8 E cores (B0) and 6 P cores and 4 E cores (C0) with TDP up to 65 watts.
- Core 3 with 4 P cores and TDP up to 65 watts.
- Core with 2 P cores and 45 watt TDP.
With these hybrid versions, Intel maintains the original approach that it started with Alder Lake-S. We have a block of high-performance cores that would be the ones that would be should first saturate in demanding tasksand we also find a block of high-efficiency cores that will be used for tasks that do not require as much performance.
It is also unclear whether they will have HyperThreading or if they will do without this technology. Its arrival will take place between the first and second quarter of 2025.
These new processors will use the LGA1700 socket, which means they will come to market to continue supporting Intel’s current platform, which will soon be replaced by the LGA1851 socket that the Arrow Lake-S processors will use.
One of the biggest doubts that Intel Bartlett-S raises is the issue of architecture, and it is not yet confirmed what architecture they are going to use or what node they will be based on, although it is most likely that it will be A minor revision of Raptor Lake and repeat the Intel 7 node. If this is confirmed it means that the P cores will use the Raptor Cove architecture, and the E cores the Gracemont architecture.
