Intel Bartlett Lake-S CPUs reportedly wield 12 blazing P-cores and 5.8 GHz boost — turbocharged chips that will not make it to retail

Jaykihn, a blogger who tends to have accurate information about Intel's plans, this week revealed details about the company's codenamed Bartlett Lake CPUs, which feature only P-cores and come in an LGA1700 form factor. As it turns out, these CPUs feature up to 12 cores with a single-thread boost of 5.90 GHz, which makes them quite appealing for gamers on the morally outdated LGA1700 platform, which can currently support up to eight P-cores.

The flagship Bartlett Lake model — the Core 273PQE — will offer 12 high-performance Raptor Cove cores running at 3.40 GHz – 5.90 GHz, 36 MB of L3 cache, and an iGPU with 32 EUs. The power-efficient version of this 12-core silicon — the Core 213PTE — will run at 1.40 GHz–5.50 GHz.

The main intrigue about Intel's Core 200E-series 'Bartlett Lake' CPUs is whether makers of consumer motherboards will add their support to their Intel 600/700-series-based platforms, providing an upgrade path for these systems.

While we have reasonable doubts that many owners of flagship Core i9-13900K/14900K-powered systems will upgrade their 24-core (8P + 16E) CPUs to Bartlett Lake, but for users with midrange Core i5 'Raptor Lake' processors, Bartlett Lake offerings aimed at entirely different markets may be quite appealing (based on leaked performance results) as they are likely to outperform their CPUs with up to 14 cores (6P + 8E) quite significantly even in heavily multi-threaded workloads. Then again, it is unclear how much such CPUs could cost on the open market.

Intel officially announced its Core 200E-series codenamed Bartlett Lake processors featuring only high-performance cores for edge, industrial, and embedded applications during CES 2025 on January 6, 2025. Since then, the company has barely talked about them, let alone revealed their specifications. To that end, the new leak may indicate that the company is getting closer to starting to take orders from partners and then beginning shipments.
