Intel will soon launch the company’s new Core Ultra 200 (codenamed Arrow Lake) army, competing against the best CPUs. Images of a qualification sample Arrow Lake CPU have been leaked on the Chinese forum Baidu Tieba (via X user Harukaze5719).
The chip is labeled as the ‘Q33K,’ not a final product name but an internal codename akin to pre-launch AMD CPUs referred to by their OPN code or other numbers. While the full codename is hard to make out, the ‘Q’ could signify that this is a qualification sample, a kind of CPU that closely resembles the final product but is still not quite ready for launch. It could also be an engineering sample, much farther from the final product than a qualification sample.
