What is the latest Intel desktop CPU?
Intel's current desktop processor lineup is organized under two brands: Core, for everyday and value-oriented processors, and Core Ultra, for premium processors. Intel introduced this branding in June 2023 with the Meteor Lake generation. The newest desktop generation, Arrow Lake, is described by review sources as taking the performance lead in 2025, with architectural changes, AI acceleration and better efficiency. The facts supplied for this page do not include model names or specifications for the newest desktop chips, so this section does not list them.
