A new processor of the Arrow Lake (Intel Core Ultra) series was listed by a European retailer, signaling that Intel may be close to officially launching the Core Ultra 3 205.
The chip, still without formal announcement, appeared with specifications that reinforce the focus on the input segment, but without giving up features in more expensive models.
Specifications and Architecture
Core Ultra 3 205 listed adopts hybrid architecture with 4 high performance cores (p-cores) and 4 efficiency cores (e-cores)totaling 8 nuclei and 8 threads.
The informed base frequency is 3,8 GHz nos P-coreswhile the cache L3 comes to 15 MBan intermediate value between Core Ultra 5 225 (20 MB) and Core I3-14100 (12 MB). The absence of Hyperthreeading Follows the trend adopted by Intel in the Arrow Lake generation.
Differences for Core Ultra 5 225
Compared to Core Ultra 5 225, the new model presents Less p-coresbut pays off with base frequencies up to 15% higher in p-cores and 19% in e-cores.
Another relevant point is consumption: PBP is about 12% lower and MTP, 37% lower, which may dispense with more robust cooling solutions.

Expectations were created
The arrival of Core Ultra 3 205 creates a direct dispute with processors AMD Ryzen 5000 of six coreswhich today are cost-effective. Despite having fewer total nuclei, the combination of hybrid architecture and high frequencies can put the Intel model advantage in some specific tasks.
The European listing also demonstrates the proximity of official announcement in the coming days. If you keep the characteristics revealed, Core Ultra 3 205 may attract users seeking solid performance with lower consumption and competitive input cost.
