MSI overclocker might have spilled the beans on the Intel Core Ultra 200 desktop release

Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake-S platform has been the talk of the town lately. MSI overclocker Toppc recently dropped some hints about the new platform during the MSI Dragon event in Wuhan, China. According to Toppc, the new platform, referred to as “Next” in the presentation, would focus on the Arrow Lake-S platform's memory controller, and he has hinted at some early insights on the platform's capabilities.

Although specific details on the platform have yet to be revealed, Toppc (via Chiphell) confirmed that it would support DDR5 memory, which aligns with the AMD AM5 series. Toppc also teased that more information on the platform would be released in Q3, indicating that the Core Ultra 200 desktop series could be launched earlier than expected.

While Intel's LGA-1851 socket platform was expected to launch last year in Q4, it was delayed, and the company replaced the aborted MTL-S desktop series with an upgraded version of Raptor Lake. 

In January of this year, information on the Intel 800-chipset series leaked, confirming that Intel intends to sell three Arrow Lake silicon variants with 24, 22, and 14 cores. These variations will combine Lion Cove Performance Cores with Skymont Efficient Cores, promising powerful performance and efficiency to users.
