QQ80768063F1 (Core Ultra 9 285H) Not EOL: Intel PCN 931285-00

Short answer

Intel PCN 931285-00 (published November 2, 2026) is not a discontinuance. Its Change Detail is "Transitioning from Intel Architecture to Intel Embedded Architecture", and it covers 9 tray ordering codes of Core Ultra (Series 2) H- and U-series processors (five H, four U), including the Core Ultra 9 285H (QQ80768063F1). Page 1 says: "No change for Intel Embedded Architecture customers." For everyone else, the last order date under the current terms is May 21, 2027 and the last shipment date is November 19, 2027; after that, Intel's embedded "terms, conditions, and pricing" apply to all customers. The first deadline, remaining demand due to your Intel representative, is February 5, 2027, 88 days from November 9, 2026 (our count). Intel names no replacement. Request a quote for QQ80768063F1.

Risk summary for managers: 9 Core Ultra (Series 2) tray codes (Intel's Vertical Segment: "Mobile" on the two pages we read); nothing is being discontinued, but buying terms and pricing change for non-embedded buyers after November 19, 2027. Action: confirm which terms you buy under and file remaining demand before February 5, 2027.

Quick reference

The 9 ordering codes

All 9 codes start with QQ (tray); the PCN table has no boxed (BX) code. Ordering code, spec code and MM# are from the table on page 2 of the PCN. The PDF text shows spec codes with a space (for example "S RQAL"); Intel's ordering page writes SRQAL, so we write them without the space.

Five H-series codes:

• Core Ultra 9 285H: QQ80768063F1, SRQAL, MM# 99CMM1
• Core Ultra 7 265H: QQ80768063F2, SRQAQ, MM# 99CMM6
• Core Ultra 7 255H: QQ80768063F3, SRQAN, MM# 99CMM7
• Core Ultra 5 235H: QQ80768063F4, SRQAP, MM# 99CMM5
• Core Ultra 5 225H: QQ80768063F5, SRQAM, MM# 99CMM2

Four U-series codes:

• Core Ultra 7 265U: QQ80768067F3, SRVFP, MM# 99CTX8
• Core Ultra 7 255U: QQ80768067F4, SRVFN, MM# 99CTX7
• Core Ultra 5 235U: QQ80768067F5, SRVFQ, MM# 99CTX9
• Core Ultra 5 225U: QQ80768067F6, SRVFR, MM# 99CTXA

5 + 4 = 9 rows, the full table; one code per processor. The PCN lists these rows in a different order; we grouped them by series.

Key dates

The notice was published on November 2, 2026 ("Date of Publication", page 1). From the "Forecasted Key Milestones" on page 1, which the notice says "does not apply to Intel Embedded Architecture customers" (labels shortened):

• Last demand due to local Intel representative prior to product support change: February 5, 2027
• Last order date prior to product support change: May 21, 2027
• Orders non-cancelable and non-returnable after: May 21, 2027
• Last shipment date prior to product support change: November 19, 2027

The notice says these dates "do not apply if you have a superseding written agreement with Intel specifying other dates." Request a quote for these tray codes.

What changed

Quoted from page 1: Intel support for the listed products "is moving to Intel Embedded Architecture for the continued support of Intel Embedded Architecture customers. The Intel Embedded Architecture terms, conditions, and pricing will go into effect for all customers after the "Last Shipment Date Prior to Product Support Change" listed above."

Intel defines embedded customers as those who buy "under terms specifically tailored for networking, edge computing, industrial, storage, communications, and embedded applications." Page 2 adds that "all discounts approved prior to "Last Shipment Date Prior to Product Support change" will no longer be honored" once support is transferred.

One wording point: the definitions paragraph on page 2 reuses Intel's standard discontinuance labels, such as "Last Product Discontinuance Order Date" and "Last Product Discontinuance Shipment Date". The notice itself, however, has Change Detail "Transitioning from Intel Architecture to Intel Embedded Architecture", Key Characteristics "Product Support", and its page 1 milestones all say "Prior to Product Support Change".

The notice gives no end-of-life date and lists no new stepping, spec code, package or marking.

Engineer notes from Intel's product pages

We read two of the nine Intel pages on November 9, 2026 (Pacific Time):

| Field (Intel's label) | Core Ultra 9 285H | Core Ultra 7 265U | |---|---|---| | Vertical Segment | Mobile | Mobile | | Code Name | Products formerly Arrow Lake | Products formerly Arrow Lake | | Marketing Status | Launched | Launched | | Launch Date | Q1'25 | Q1'25 | | Use Conditions | PC/Client/Tablet | PC/Client/Tablet | | Embedded Options Available | Yes | Yes | | Total Cores / Threads | 16 / 16 | 12 / 14 | | Processor Base Power | 45 W | 15 W | | Maximum Turbo Power | 115 W | 57 W | | Sockets Supported | FCBGA2049 | FCBGA2049 | | Package Size | 50 mm x 25 mm | 50 mm x 25 mm | | Max Operating Temperature | 110 °C | 110 °C | | Stepping (ordering page) | A1 | A0 |

We did not read the other seven spec pages for this article, so their values are not listed here.

What buyers should check when receiving parts

• Both Intel ordering pages we read (285H and 265U) list two tray codes, but the PCN names only one for each; we did not check the other seven ordering pages. The second code on each page is not in this notice. Intel's pages do not say what they are, so match the exact production code you ordered.
• Check ordering code, spec code and MM# together against the table above. Note the H and U parts on the two pages we read have different steppings (A1 and A0).
• The PCN gives no date code or marking change.

Same change for Series 1

Intel published the same kind of notice for Core Ultra (Series 1) on August 3, 2026: PCN 924587-00, with a last order date of February 19, 2027 and a last shipment date of August 20, 2027 prior to the support change. We read its first page only; check its table for the codes it covers. See also our Intel Core Ultra Series 1 processors series page.

What buyers should do now

1. Search BOMs and open orders for the 9 QQ codes above.
2. If you buy under standard (non-embedded) terms, file remaining demand with your Intel representative before February 5, 2027, and place final orders under current terms before May 21, 2027. Orders become non-cancelable and non-returnable after that date.
3. If you already buy under Intel Embedded Architecture terms, the notice says there is no change for you.
4. Price and discount: discounts approved before November 19, 2027 will not be honored after the transfer. Re-check quotes and long-term contracts.
5. ZHPAY is an independent distributor. We can help look for these tray codes without promising availability. Send your part numbers through our quote / BOM form.

FAQ

Is the Core Ultra 9 285H discontinued?

No, not by this notice. PCN 931285-00 moves tray code QQ80768063F1 (SRQAL) to Intel Embedded Architecture support; its Change Detail is "Transitioning from Intel Architecture to Intel Embedded Architecture", not end of life. Intel's spec page still shows Marketing Status "Launched" (read November 9, 2026).

Are the Core Ultra 7 255H and 265U end of life?

Not by this notice. Their tray codes QQ80768063F3 (255H) and QQ80768067F3 (265U) are in the PCN 931285-00 table; the notice changes support terms and pricing and gives no end-of-life date. Intel's 265U spec page shows Marketing Status "Launched" (read November 9, 2026); we did not read the 255H page.

What is the last order date for the Core Ultra 5 225H under standard terms?

May 21, 2027, for tray code QQ80768063F5 (SRQAM). Remaining demand is due to your Intel representative by February 5, 2027.

What happens after November 19, 2027?

That is the "Last Shipment Date Prior to Product Support Change". The notice says Intel Embedded Architecture terms, conditions and pricing go into effect for all customers after that date.

Does Intel name a replacement?

No. The notice is a support change, not a discontinuance, and names no replacement.
