Intel has officially announced that its next generation of consumer desktop processors, the Core Ultra 200S series, will hit the market on 24 October. The processors will also be launched alongside a wave of Z890 motherboards from the usual partners like ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte. Codenamed Arrow Lake during development, these new CPUs are Intel’s next bid to reclaim user trust and market share after a rocky Raptor Lake era.
Intel’s prior misadventures are no secret. The tail end of Raptor Lake’s run saw issues pile up (read about it here), causing crashes that spread like wildfire across tech forums earlier this year. Intel, to its credit, at least acknowledged the problem and offered warranty extensions, but the damage was already done. Enter the Core Ultra 200S series, which seems positioned as an earnest attempt to make things right.
