Intel keeps socket LGA 1700 alive with new P-core-only CPUs — 'Bartlett Lake' is official, but targets embedded applications with up to 12 cores

Intel has unveiled its Bartlett Lake CPUs, featuring a P-core-only design with up to 12 cores and compatibility with the LGA 1700 socket. These chips are aimed at embedded applications rather than gaming, offering 11 new SKUs across 12-, 10-, and 8-core designs with varying clock speeds and TDP levels. The focus on P-core-only design eliminates complexity for latency-sensitive applications. Bartlett Lake chips come with LTSC support for Windows and emphasize stability and consistency. Built on Intel 7 (10nm class), the CPUs support up to 5,600 MT/s DDR5 memory and offer improved performance for edge deployments.
