Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs Seem To Feature Similar TDPs As Raptor Lake Chips But Actual Power Consumption Will Be Lower, Panther Lake Configs & Power Ratings Also Disclosed
Intel's Arrow Lake CPUs will be covering various segments ranging from desktops to laptops. Both families will have a diverse range of SKUs & each configuration will yield its respective power rating depending on the platform it is designed for. So far, we have learned about the die configurations, the cache configurations, and the clock speed configurations on a range of Arrow Lake chips but a huge list of Arrow Lake configurations along with their full power ratings has been disclosed today by Jaykihn.

Based on the details, we first have the Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs which come in 8+16, 8+12, 6+8, and 6+4 SKUs. These are the four confirmed configurations that we will see in the lineup. As of right now, all configurations except the 6+4 will feature up to 125W SKUs in the "K" series & 65W / 35W chips will be standard across all four SKUs. The flagship 8+16 SKU, the Core Ultra 9 285K, is reportedly going to feature an "Extreme" mode besides its "Performance" and "Baseline" modes.
At the Baseline, the top SKU will have a 125W PL1 and 179W PL2 rating, at Performance, the same SKU will have a 125 PL1 and 250W PL2 rating while at Extreme, the SKU will have a 125W PL1 and 295W PL2 rating. The PL4 rating scales from 329/425/490W but this is a short burst mode. Actual power consumption of the chips is suggested to be at least 100W lower than Raptor Lake CPUs.
Besides the known Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs, there are at least three unknown & two canceled models mentioned too. The canceled models include 8+32 & 8+24 configurations which
