Intel has officially unveiled its Core Series 2 processors with P-core (codenamed Bartlett Lake). These chips are not intended for the consumer market, but are designed for use in edge and embedded systems. The key feature of these processors is their exclusive use of high-performance P-cores.
These are processors based on the old Raptor Lake architecture, but on a completely new die that contains only large cores, up to 12 in total. The original Raptor Lake, as a reminder, had a maximum of 8 large cores.
The manufacturing process remains the same (Intel 7), and many other parameters are similar. The new CPUs have up to 36 MB of Smart Cache, a TDP of up to 45-125 W, and frequencies of up to 5.9 GHz. However, this is not a consumer solution, but an embedded one.
Intel classifies its processors in the embedded systems segment, and in the “Edge Technologies” section, describes them as components for industrial applications, healthcare, smart cities, and other edge deployments. The company also claims platform compatibility with 12th, 13th, and 14th-generation Intel Core processors for edge devices, which should simplify the upgrade of existing embedded systems based on the LGA 1700 platform.
