Intel Core 200E "Bartlett Lake-S" CPUs: Final Specifications Revealed
Recent leaks have unveiled the complete specifications for Intel's "Bartlett Lake-S" Core 200E series, a lineup of CPUs featuring only Performance Cores (P-Cores). Shared by reputable source Jaykihn on X, the detailed matrix confirms that these processors are designed for the LGA-1700 socket. However, despite initial anticipation among PC enthusiasts and gamers, Intel has decided not to release these CPUs to the consumer market. Instead, the Core 200E family will be exclusive to edge computing and embedded applications.
Core 200E Series Overview
At the top of the range is the Core 9 273 PQE, equipped with 12 P-Cores and supporting 24 threads via Hyper-Threading. This flagship model operates at a base frequency of 3.4 GHz, with all cores capable of boosting up to 5.3 GHz. For single-threaded workloads, the CPU can reach an impressive 5.9 GHz. The processor also features 36 MB of L3 cache and an integrated Xe-LP GPU with 32 Execution Units (EUs), making it suitable for a variety of edge and embedded computing tasks.
Product Segmentation and Power Profiles
The Bartlett Lake-S lineup is divided into three main categories based on power consumption and performance:
- PQE (High-TDP): These models have a base power of 125W, offering the highest clock speeds and full support for Intel vPro and ECC memory.
- PE (Mainstream): With a 65W TDP, these CPUs provide a balance between performance and efficiency, though some SKUs may lack vPro and ECC support.
- PTE (Low-Power): Designed for maximum efficiency, these 45W CPUs are ideal for edge deployments where power consumption is a critical factor. Like the PE models, some PTE SKUs do not include vPro or ECC memory support.
Across the range, users will find options with 8, 10, or 12 cores, translating to 16, 20, or 24 threads, respectively. This segmentation allows for tailored solutions depending on the specific requirements of embedded or edge computing environments.
Consumer Availability and Platform Support
Despite being compatible with the LGA-1700 socket, Intel has confirmed that the Core 200E "Bartlett Lake-S" CPUs will not be released for consumer desktops. The company has shifted its focus to the upcoming "Arrow Lake Refresh" for the newer LGA-1851 platform, effectively ending plans for another CPU generation on LGA-1700. While there is speculation that some motherboard manufacturers might provide BIOS updates to enable support for these processors, official consumer support is not planned.
Leading motherboard brands, including ASRock, have stated that the Bartlett Lake-S series will remain exclusive to embedded and edge computing sectors. This strategic move aligns with Intel's broader roadmap, prioritizing next-generation platforms for mainstream desktop users while reserving specialized CPUs for industrial and commercial applications.
