  • Intel Unveils Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core Ultra 5 250K Plus Processors

    Technical Specs of Intel Core Ultra 200S “Arrow Lake” and Arrow Lake Refresh

    Performance Comparison with Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X

    Intel has launched its latest desktop processors, the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core Ultra 5 250K Plus, aiming to refresh the Arrow Lake lineup.

    In performance comparisons, Intel matches the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus against the Ryzen 7 9700X, and the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus against the Ryzen 5 9600X. In multi-threaded environments, these Plus models boast a twofold performance increase across various workloads. This is unsurprising given the competition between a 24-core processor and an 8-core/16-thread and an 18-core and a 6-core/12-thread setup.

    Intel also benchmarks the gaming performance of the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus against its predecessor, the Core Ultra 7 265K Plus. The 270K Plus achieves double-digit performance improvements in several games at 1080p resolution, surpassing the 265K by an average of approximately 15%.

    Similarly, the Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus, on average, shows a 13% increase in gaming performance over the Core Ultra 5 245K, with significant improvements noted.

    The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus will be available at a suggested retail price of $299, while the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus will be priced at $199.

    Previously, we reported on the Xiaomi Book 14, which weighs under 1 kg and will feature up to 32 GB of memory and new Intel Panther Lake processors. Intel has also confirmed the existence of the Arc Pro B70.

    The flagship model combines 24 cores, including 8 P-cores based on the Lion Cove architecture and 16 E-cores from the Skymont architecture. It reaches a maximum boost clock speed of 5.5 GHz. The all-core boost frequency is 5.4 GHz for P-cores and 4.7 GHz for E-cores. It includes 40 MB of L2 cache and 36 MB of L3 cache, with a D2D frequency of 3.0 GHz and 4 iGPU cores running at 2.0 GHz. The power consumption is 250 W.

    The Core Ultra 5 250K Plus is the successor to the Core Ultra 5 245K, featuring 18 cores in total, with 6 P-cores from Lion Cove and 12 E-cores from Skymont. Its maximum boost clock is 5.3 GHz. Boost frequencies for all cores are 5.1 GHz for P-cores and 4.6 GHz for E-cores. It has 36 MB of L2 cache and 30 MB of L3 cache, with a D2D frequency of 3.0 GHz and 4 iGPU cores at 1.9 GHz. Average power consumption is 159 W.

    These new processors boast enhanced architecture and improved performance. Intel dubs the 200S Plus models as their fastest desktop processors to date, offering superior multi-core performance at an affordable price with a range of new features.

    A new binary optimization tool is focused on improving performance based on current workloads. It utilizes Intel’s compiler IP cores and profiling to optimize libraries and execution files, ensuring no process goes unoptimized.

    The Intel Core Ultra 200S Plus processors are the first to offer early support for CUDIMM DDR5 memory on select motherboards. Intel, in collaboration with partners, plans to introduce around 12 new LGA 1851 motherboards and 100 options from system integrators. The memory controller Plus ensures Intel Core Ultra 200S Plus processors can support speeds up to 7200 MT/s in standard mode and up to 8000 MT/s in overclocking mode with guaranteed reliability.

  • Apple Unveils M5 Pro and M5 Max: Advanced Processors for MacBook Pro with 18-Core CPU and Enhanced Performance

    Apple has launched its latest flagship processors, the M5 Pro and M5 Max, designed specifically for professional laptops. These chips are built on Apple’s new in-house developed Fusion architecture.

    The Apple M5 Pro processor is aimed at professionals working in data modeling, audio post-production, and STEM fields. It features an 18-core CPU coupled with a GPU that can scale up to 20 cores, each integrated with a Neural Accelerator. The chip supports up to 64 GB of unified memory with a bandwidth of up to 307 GB/s.

    The GPU’s peak computational power for AI tasks has increased over fourfold compared to the M4 Pro and more than sixfold compared to the M1 Pro. Graphics performance has seen a 20% improvement over the M4 Pro and is 2.2 times better than the M1 Pro. Ray tracing applications exhibit performance gains of up to 35%.

    The Apple M5 Max chip is tailored for 3D animators, developers, and AI researchers. It includes the same 18-core CPU but features a GPU that can scale to 40 cores—twice that of the M5 Pro. The CPU’s multi-threaded performance is 15% higher than that of the M4 Max.

    Both chips incorporate a faster 16-core Neural Engine with enhanced memory bandwidth capabilities for Apple Intelligence functions. Additionally, a new Media Engine is integrated, offering hardware acceleration for H.264, HEVC, AV1 decoding, and ProRes encoding/decoding.

    Apple has introduced Memory Integrity Enforcement—a continuously active memory integrity protection feature that does not compromise performance. Each Thunderbolt 5 port operates via a dedicated on-chip controller.

    The chip supports up to 128 GB of unified memory with a bandwidth reaching 614 GB/s, which is essential for handling complex scenes, large datasets, and generating more tokens in large language models. The GPU’s peak AI performance exceeds the previous generation by more than fourfold and surpasses the M1 Max by more than six times. Graphics performance gains up to 20% over the M4 Max and ray tracing tasks see up to a 30% increase.

    The new M5 Pro and M5 Max processors integrate two third-generation dies within a single system-on-chip (SoC), manufactured using a 3-nm process. Apple employs advanced packaging technology for high bandwidth and low latency. The SoC includes a new CPU, scalable GPU, Media Engine, unified memory controller, Neural Engine, and Thunderbolt 5 support module.

    Both chips feature 18 computational cores: 6 super cores and 12 performance cores. The super cores offer high single-thread performance with enhanced bandwidth, a new cache hierarchy, and improved branch prediction. The performance cores are optimized for energy-efficient multi-threaded tasks. As a result, the M5 Pro and M5 Max deliver up to 2.5 times higher multi-thread performance compared to the M1 Pro and M1 Max, with a 30% performance boost in professional tasks over the M4 Pro/Max.

    The new Apple iPad Air, starting at $599, comes equipped with the M4 chip, 12 GB RAM, and Wi-Fi 7.
