The first rumors about Intel's Bartlett Lake-S platform emerged a few days ago, with rumors indicating the chips would come to desktop PCs with LGA1700 sockets. A new report from BenchLife, citing a supply chain source, indicates that Barlett Lake-S is indeed destined for LGA1700 sockets for networking and edge applications for Intel's Networking and Edge group (NEX). As always, we should take rumors with a shovelful of salt, but BenchLife does have a good track record.
From a hardware standpoint, Intel's rumored Bartlett Lake-S CPUs are said to feature up to eight high-performance Raptor Cove cores, up to 16 energy-efficient Gracemont cores, and a built-in Xe-based Ultra HD Graphics 770 GPU. The processors are set to support DDR4 and DDR5 memory, though given their designation, it is reasonable to expect them to support ECC capability, though we are speculating here.
