Intel Arrow Lake Targets +5% In Single Core Performance, +15% For Multicore
A user by the name of uzzi38 on AnandTech forums has leaked what looks to be internal slides from Intel themselves, which discusses on the upcoming Arrow Lake architecture. The slide is intentionally obfuscated for the most part, though there’s one crucial piece of information that the user has chose to publicize.
Intel Arrow Lake will be succeeding the upcoming Raptor Lake Refresh (14th Gen) processors, slated for late 2024 release. It’ll make the transition from the current LGA1700 to the new LGA1851 socket, and with it comes the 800 series motherboard chipsets. According to the leaked slides however, there are some performance targets already set internally by Team Blue.
In the slide above, the visible text reads “up to ~1.15 (times) MT / 1.05 (times) ST perf gain” – so that indicates 15% more multicore performance and a small 5% improvement on each core thanks to the new core architecture on both P-cores and E-cores (which is codenamed Lion Cove and Skymont respectively). This generation will also be using Intel 20A process node, which is three generations ahead of the current Intel 7 node.
Another notable information is the presence of Battlemage, which is set to be the basis for this generation of onboard graphics. Currently, Intel’s desktop processors still rely on the aging UHD Graphics, so the introduction of Xe into desktop chips should bring in some modern-day media capabilities, even if it may not be designed with gaming in mind (as that’s the role of discrete GPUs).

Pokdepinion: Targets seem conservative this time around – though there’s a good chance Intel may end up surpassing it by the time it launches.
