Intel prepares to release Bartlett Lake processors that use only performance cores. The Core 5 120F leaked online and shows specs similar to older chips. The processor has six performance cores and twelve threads just like the Core i5 12400F. Both chips run at 2.5 GHz base speed and use 65 watts of power. The new processor boosts to 4.5 GHz compared to 4.4 GHz on the older model.

Intel markets the Bartlett Lake series for budget gaming builds. The company calls these processors perfect for gamers who want good performance without spending much money. Higher-end models will offer up to twelve performance cores with hyperthreading support. The processors work on existing motherboards that support 13th and 14th generation Intel chips. Linux systems already recognize the new processor family.

Intel designed Bartlett Lake for industrial uses but wants mainstream customers too. The processors skip efficiency cores that other recent Intel chips include. Core Series 2 branding creates confusion since mobile processors also use the same name. The desktop versions focus on performance cores only for better single-threaded speed.
