Intel Adds New Core Ultra 5 CPUs to Arrow Lake Lineup
Intel is making its Arrow Lake chip line bigger, aiming at low-cost and budget groups. Three new kinds are now ready for both home and on-the-go use, including 14-core and 10-core options built for saving power.
New Desktop CPU Types Core Ultra 5 235A and 235TA
Two new forms use the old Core Ultra 5 235 home CPU. Both aim at power-saving devices, but they stand out in key ways.
- Core Ultra 5 235A: This form looks the same as the usual Core Ultra 5 235, with the same core set-up, speeds, and TDP.
- Core Ultra 5 235TA: This is a more power-smart version with clear tweaks:
- Lower Base Speeds: P-Cores go at a 2.2 GHz base and E-Cores at a 1.6 GHz base, down from 3.4 GHz and 2.9 GHz respectively.
- Less Power Need: It uses 35W base power and 114W max turbo power, less than the 65W/121W of the normal form.
- iGPU: The built-in graphics are the same, with 3 Xe cores at a 300 MHz base speed.
Core Ultra 5 235UA An Ultra Power-Saving Mobile Chip
The Core Ultra 5 235UA is a unique mobile chip made for top efficiency. It's very different from other Arrow Lake chips:
- Core Set-Up: It has a 10-core build (2 P-Cores + 8 E-Cores) and adds two more Low Power Efficient (LP E-Cores), making 14 threads total.
- Build Process: This chip uses Intel 3 makeup, not like other Arrow Lake chips which use TSMC's N3B way.
- Speeds:
- P-Cores: 2.0 GHz base / 4.9 GHz boost
- E-Cores: 1.6 GHz base / 4.1 GHz boost
- LP E-Cores: 0.7 GHz base / 2.4 GHz boost
- Power Savings: With a 15W base power and a TDP range of 12-57W, it is the most power-saving mobile Arrow Lake chip so far.
Pricing and Availability
The new chips are set to start this part of the year. The cost for the Core Ultra 5 235A and 235TA should be near the usual Core Ultra 5 235. The mobile Core Ultra 5 235UA will likely cost less than the Core Ultra 5 235H and 225H forms.
