Intel is currently organizing events for board vendors and partners to introduce its new LGA-1851 socket and the upcoming 800-series chipset that will power the Core Ultra 200-series “Arrow Lake” desktop CPUs. Some leaked details reveal that the 800 series chipset will feature a full PCIe configuration, with Arrow Lake-S processors having 16 dedicated PCIe Gen5 lanes for graphics and an additional 4 Gen5 lanes for SSD storage. Additionally, there will be a Gen4x4 interface directly connected to the CPU, allowing users to attach another Gen4 SSD without sacrificing lanes for GPUs and storage.
Moreover, the Arrow Lake CPUs will incorporate Thunderbolt 4 controllers across the 800-series chipset, enabling support for up to 4 displays connected to the integrated Arc Xe-LPG graphics. The chipset also confirms compatibility with 20G, 10G, and 5G USB connections. The new 800 series chipset will debut with the LGA-1851 socket, offering models like Z890, H870, B860, and H810, all supporting DDR5-6400.
The Arrow Lake-S CPUs will come with various I/O capabilities, such as DDR5 UDIMM/SO-DIMM at 6400 MT/s, eDP 1.4b, DP2.0 UHBR20/HDMI 2.1, USB 4.0 + TBT4/DP, USB 2.0/HDMI 2.1 Type-C, 24 PCIe lanes in total, 20 PCIe Gen5 lanes, 4 PCIe Gen5 lanes, and 8 SATA III lanes. The ARL-S PCH for 800 Series Motherboards will feature DMI 4th generation, 24 PCIe Gen4 lanes, 6×4 Controller, 14 root ports, 8 SATA III lanes, 3 GbE ports, USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, USB 2.0 ports, 802.11ax R2 with TDBC, BT6/WIFI7, CSME SPI, and TCH-SPI.
Intel’s next-generation Core Ultra 200-series “Arrow Lake” CPUs are set to launch in October, competing against AMD and its upcoming Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000-series “Granite Ridge” CPUs in July. This battle signifies the ongoing competition between the two tech giants in the CPU market.
In conclusion, Intel’s new 800-series platform with the LGA-1851 socket and Arrow Lake CPUs aims to provide users with improved performance and connectivity options, especially in terms of PCIe lanes, storage capabilities, and display connectivity. The integration of Thunderbolt 4 controllers and support for various USB connections enhances the overall user experience for gamers and enthusiasts looking for high-performance desktop CPUs. The release of the Arrow Lake-S CPUs in October will intensify the competition with AMD, offering consumers a wider range of options in the CPU market.
