Intel has launched the new Intel Core Ultra 200S series of processors for desktop computers, marking a breakthrough in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in these devices. These processors are designed to deliver optimized performance in both gaming and content creation, with a focus on power efficiency.
The flagship processor of the series, the Intel Core Ultra 9 285Kincludes 8 high-performance cores and 16 efficient cores, achieving a 14% improvement in multitasking performance over the previous generation. One of the most notable features is the incorporation of a Neural Processing Unit (NPU)which allows AI-related workloads to be managed autonomously, freeing up system resources for other functions.
The series is also recognized for its ability to reduce power consumption by up to 58% in everyday applications, and for delivering significant performance improvements in applications that use AI, with up to 50% faster performance compared to other processors. These performance improvements do not compromise the system’s ability to handle demanding tasks like gaming or video editing.
In addition to their AI capabilities, processors Intel Core Ultra 200S support advanced technologies such as PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 6Ey Thunderbolt 4guaranteeing fast and fluid connectivity for users.
The launch of these processors is scheduled for October 24, 2024with availability through physical stores, online and on systems from Intel OEM partners.
