Intel Bartlett Lake-S — "New" Representatives of the 14th Generation That Won't Be Sold in Stores
Details about a new Intel processor line called Core 200E Bartlett Lake-S have leaked online. The main feature of this family is that the company decided to abandon the familiar hybrid design and equip the flagship of the lineup with a full 12 performance cores. These cores, by the way, are the same ones used in Core 14th generation — meaning they are very power-hungry cores, of which there could previously be a maximum of 8 under a processor's heat spreader.
The flagship of the new series will be a processor with 12 full-fledged cores, capable of boosting up to an impressive 5.9 GHz in single-threaded workloads. There will also be solutions with 10 and 8 cores. All of these are processors for the LGA1700 socket, but there's a major catch. Intel does not plan to release new BIOS updates for existing motherboards, and these processors will be used exclusively in pre-built systems. As a result, Bartlett Lake-S support on a random motherboard from a store can only be provided by the motherboard manufacturer, and whether they will engage in such matters is unknown.
