Intel Bartlett-Lake-S: The Core 200S is the 14th generation Core without the expected 12-P core processor. 30 comments

Bartlett Lake-S represented the rumors of a 12-P core processor in the LGA 1700. Intel has now introduced the Core 200S for the socket – Bartlett Lake-S is Raptor Lake Refresh, aka the 14th generation Core in a new look. But the variant with 12 P-Cores is missing. Instead, there are more E-Cores in certain classes.
“The Core 7 200 is faster than the Core i7-14000”
The Core 200 now has a Core 7 251E with 8+16 cores, like the Core i9 offered in the 14th generation Core. With a clock speed of 5.6 GHz, ECC and vPro, the “new” almost matches the Core i9-14900 – but only runs at 5.6 GHz. It is therefore not surprising that Intel chose the Core i7-14700 to compare the performance of the Core 200 with that of the 14th generation Core.

Compared to the Intel Core i7-14700, the newcomer can score points with four additional E-Cores: 16 instead of 12. This also gives it a small advantage in benchmarks, multithreaded thanks to the additional E-Cores, single-threaded. thanks to up to 200 MHz higher clock speed.

Model preview does not show Core 9
The overview of the processors of this Core 200 series for desktop computers (the Core 200 for laptops released at the same time are also Raptor Lake Refresh) are ultimately poorly adapted variants based on the well-known chip. This is also shown in Intel’s diagram of the Bartlett Lake-S, which basically corresponds to the well-known chip.
Sometimes there are 100 to 200 MHz more clock speed or sometimes less, sometimes a small adjustment or not – partly because of the TDP structure, which also includes 45 watt models.
In the end, the platform offers exactly what has been normal since Alder Lake or the Refresh Raptor Lake and its Refresh. DDR5-5600 is the memory standard for the LGA 1700 socket, the alternative is even the fallback to DDR4-3200.

Is the 12P central processor still available?
Will there be another Core 9 in this series with 12 P cores? There would be room for improvement. But is it ultimately still necessary? The later we get to 2025, the more negative the answer to this question is. Even for a cutting-edge product.
