A brand new leak has surfaced for Intel‘s incoming Arrow Lake desktop processors that places ahead the notion that overclocking will solely be formally supported on the highest-end (Z890) motherboards.
As noticed by Videocardz, some purported specs for the Intel 800 collection of motherboards have surfaced on X courtesy of @jaykihn.

In accordance with the specs desk offered – add your individual skepticism, as ever round any leak – solely the Z890 platform will characteristic voltage and base clock changes for overclocking. The opposite chipsets – Intel’s H810, B860, Q870 and W880 – will not have this functionality, and on high of that, it is claimed that there will probably be no H870 motherboards in any respect.
So, Arrow Lake desktop processors will probably be supported throughout a complete of 5 platforms. Historically, the Zx90 collection of motherboards are the top-end choices with the B fashions being the budget-focused choices, so having overclocking locked to purely the premium platform is not solely shocking – if this leak holds water. It is going to be a primary for Intel, although.
The leaker believes that it is possible for you to to overclock the reminiscence on the extra inexpensive B860 motherboards, however you will not have the ability to push the CPU’s voltage as will probably be potential with a Z890 board. This implies these seeking to push their system to the boundaries must shell out for the priciest Intel motherboards accessible.
One other fascinating element is the overall quantity of high-speed PCIe lanes. The bottom configuration for the H810 is 33, whereas the B860 helps 45, and the Q870 pushes to 56. Nevertheless, each the server-focused W880 and the Z890 are slated to help 60 high-speed PCIe lanes as customary.

The Intel Core Extremely 200K CPU household is anticipated to debut by the tip of 2024, so it is prone to be one thing like three to 4 months earlier than Arrow Lake hits the scene. It is going to be the primary time that Workforce Blue’s ‘disaggregated structure’ arrives on desktop, following on from Meteor Lake (and there is additionally the upcoming Lunar Lake for laptops, too).
Intel’s desktop computing panorama is altering
Arrow Lake represents essentially the most important change for Intel for the reason that launch of Alder Lake in 2021 (which introduced in hybrid tech, that means effectivity cores). Not solely is there a completely new socket, LGA 1851 (altering from LGA 1700), however the Intel Core Extremely 200K is the primary desktop processor line to incorporate extra highly effective and complex variations of the NPU seen in Meteor Lake.
The complete computing world is embracing AI, and shortly not simply laptop computer chips (like Meteor Lake), however desktop CPUs can even have onboard acceleration for AI workloads (within the type of that NPU).
The Intel 800 collection platform is extra superior than prior variations as you’d count on, even when it lacks Thunderbolt 5 help. It stays to be seen precisely what stage of overclocking capabilities will probably be accessible on the brand new Arrow Lake CPUs, as we will not take this rumor at face worth, as famous. What we do count on is that Arrow Lake processors might have slower clock speeds than their Raptor Lake Refresh equivalents, though they will nonetheless be sooner (after all – they will need to be) resulting from architectural enhancements and different tuning.
