The Intel Bartlett Lake-S CPUs for desktops will be launched in 2025 in hybrid and P-Core only versions, with a maximum of 12 P-Cores. The mystery of Intel Bartlett Lake-S seems to have been unveiled by @jaykihn, who has now illustrated the configurations of the various SKUs that will be present in the family. So what is Bartlett Lake-S? If you’ve been following our previous reports, it has been suggested that it is a new family of CPUs for desktop platforms primarily targeting Network & Edge. The lineup is expected to launch on the same platforms with the LGA 1700 socket that has been on the market for years and it appears to be divided into two configurations: a hybrid and a P-Core only.
Starting with the P-Core only variants, the Bartlett Lake-S Desktop CPUs will use a new BTL 12+0 die which features up to 12 P-Cores. Yes, you heard that right, there will be only P-Cores in this SKU, exceeding what we have seen in the current 14th generation family, which has a maximum of 8 P-Cores. It is suggested that the lineup will cover the segments of 125W, 65W, and 45W with 12 P-Core Core 9, 10 P-Core Core 7, and 8 P-Core Core 5.
The mention of a 125W CPU could indicate that we might see a high-end consumer-oriented release for the DIY segment, since the TDP of 125W is usually reserved for “K series” unlocked desktop CPUs. The Bartlett Lake P-Core-only family will not include any SKUs from the Core 3 or Core series. Now let’s move on to the hybrid Intel Bartlett Lake-S CPUs for desktops, which will use a mix of Alder Lake and Raptor Lake processors. These chips will be available in 65W and 45W versions with 8+16 (B0) Core 7, 6+8 (B0) and 6+4 (C0) Core 5, 4+0 (H0) and 2+0 (H0) Core. The flagship CPU will reach the same 24 cores and 32 threads that we have seen on the current flagship, the Core i9-13900K/14900K, and the rest of the CPUs will also correspond to the configurations with 14th generation dies that we have already seen on the market.
