According to VideoCardz, Arrow Lake Refresh’s current Intel planning has several stages. First, the media will get the release information today, and then on March 11, when the first wave of information will be lifted, it is expected that official materials, product names, and preliminary promotional content will begin to be exposed to the public. Next is March 23, when the first batch of desktop processor reviews will be released.
Hardware whistleblower @momomo_us also shared on the community earlier that he discovered that Intel already has an online seminar page for March 17. The theme is “Core Ultra 200 Plus series processors”, including desktop processor Core Ultra 200S Plus and mobile platform Core Ultra 200HX Plus:
The event description not only mentions the name of the new series, but also mentions several key points, including introducing technical adjustments for 1080p gaming performance, improving the multitasking experience, and market planning for the North American channel.
Intel Core Ultra 200S Plus（Arrow Lake Refresh）將帶來新的機制與技術設計，在 1080p 遊戲環境下提升整體效能，同時在多工作業方面帶來顯著增強。在本次活動中，Intel 客戶端運算副總裁 Robert Hallock 將介紹 Core Ultra 200S Plus 系列處理器的技術改進，並提供競爭分析，同時分享北美通路市場的未來展望。
Judging from the existing rumors, the information on desktop processors is relatively complete, including Core Ultra 9 290K Plus, Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, Core Ultra 5 250K Plus, and Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus.
Among them, the 270K Plus is the one that attracts the most attention. It may increase from the original 20 cores of the 265K to 24 cores, which is a combination of 8 P-core + 16 E-core, and is equipped with a higher clock speed.
The 250K Plus is rumored to have 18 cores and a Boost clock of about 5.3GHz. As for the flagship 290K Plus,There was news before that Intel has canceled this product., but it is not official information after all, so we can still look forward to it. The core configuration of the 290K Plus remains the same as the previous generation, but it will use higher clock speeds and more mature adjustments to widen the gap. Some leaked information even mentioned that Boost can reach 5.7GHz. Memory support will be upgraded to DDR5-7200:

This processor is likely to use an 8P + 16E configuration with a total of 24 cores and 24 threads, and is positioned as the flagship model of Arrow Lake-HX Refresh. Except for 290HX Plus, the list of other HX Plus models is unknown.
As for the official retail launch time, it has not yet been fully determined. Foreign media Wccftech speculates that it is likely to be at the end of this month or the first week of April.
