Intel’s entry-level Arrow Lake desktop CPU is getting closer to release, as the Core Ultra 3 205 has appeared again in a fresh retailer listing with pricing and basic specifications. The new listing gives a clearer view of where this chip fits in Intel’s upcoming desktop lineup, especially for budget-focused systems.
The retailer page shows Intel part number AT8076806773 listed as a tray processor for the LGA1851 socket, with a 15MB cache and pricing set at €132 before tax and €158 including tax. The product is marked “sur commande,” which means it is not in stock yet but available on order, and the page was updated on March 22, 2026.
According to PC21 and distributor listings, this CPU continues to move through distribution channels, which suggests Intel is preparing it for broader availability even if it is not officially launched yet.
What we know about Core Ultra 3 205 specs
The available listings confirm some key details, including a boost clock up to 4.90 GHz and tray packaging aimed at system builders rather than retail buyers. While Intel has not fully confirmed the core configuration, earlier reports consistently point to an 8-core, 8-thread design with 4 Performance cores and 4 Efficient cores.
This setup places the chip at the bottom of the Arrow Lake-S stack, where it focuses on efficiency and entry-level performance instead of high-end workloads.
Retail and distributor pages from PC21, Mouser, and Industry Electronics all list the processor as an OEM-style part, which signals that Intel may target system integrators instead of DIY desktop users for this model.
That approach fits with its positioning as an affordable Arrow Lake option, where prebuilt systems are expected to be the main way buyers will get access to this chip.
