Intel Bartlett Lake-S: Everything You Need to Know
1/31/2024
Intel Bartlett Lake-S CPUs are a rumored series of processors that will be compatible with the LGA 1700 socket, which is currently used by the 12th and 14th generation of Intel Core CPUs. Bartlett Lake-S CPUs are expected to be based on the Raptor Lake architecture, which features a hybrid design of performance and efficiency cores, as well as support for DDR4 and DDR5 memory.
However, unlike the existing Raptor Lake CPUs, which target the high-end and mainstream segments, Bartlett Lake-S CPUs are speculated to be more budget-friendly and aimed at the lower-end market. This means that they might have lower core counts, clock speeds, and cache sizes than their Raptor Lake counterparts. They might also have some architectural improvements, such as higher IPC (instructions per cycle), but this is not confirmed yet.
Bartlett Lake-S CPUs are rumored to be launched in 2024, as a follow-up to the 14th generation Raptor Lake Refresh family. They might be the last series of CPUs to use the LGA 1700 socket, as Intel is planning to introduce a new socket, LGA 1851, for its next-generation Arrow Lake-S CPUs, which will target the premium segment. Bartlett Lake-S CPUs might also be the last series of CPUs to support DDR4 memory, as Intel is gradually transitioning to the faster and more efficient DDR5 standard.
Bartlett Lake-S CPUs are still unconfirmed by Intel, so the information above is based on rumors and leaks from various sources. Intel has only officially announced its Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake CPUs for 2024, and Panther Lake CPUs for 2025, so we might have to wait for more details from the company itself.
