When Intel launched Core Ultra 200S in October 2024 we reached the conclusion that the new CPUs were not ready for action. At best the new platform was in Beta, however there was the outside chance it was fundamentally flawed and beyond redemption. This would obviously be bad news for Intel but would also impact Asus, ASRock, Gigabyte, MSI and any company that is invested in the Z890 platform.

A month after the launch, Intel's Robert Hallock went public to talk about the proposed fixes for Core Ultra 200S HERE

And now, after CES 2025, we have received the promised updates from Intel that are supposed to fix Core Ultra 200S. This means we can retest the Core Ultra CPUs and see whether or not Core Ultra 200S is now ready for action.
