May 11, 2024 – Some surprising leaks about Intel’s future Arrow Lake CPUs have shown some changes that were not expected.
The Surprising Changes in Arrow Lake
According to the leaks, Intel is getting rid of the new cores that came with Meteor Lake³. Also, the Arrow Lake CPUs won’t have an Arc iGPU³, which is strange since powerful GPUs are becoming more common in CPUs² these days.
Is Hyperthreading Coming to an End?
One of the most surprising things that the leaks have shown is that the Arrow Lake CPUs may not have hyperthreading . This feature has been a part of Intel CPUs for 22 years and lets each core run two sets of instructions at the same time². Not having hyperthreading could have big effects on how well multithreaded programs work².
How Well Arrow Lake Does with AI and Games
The leaks show that the Arrow Lake CPUs will have great AI and game performance, even with these surprising changes. The CPUs are based on Xe-LPG Intel Arc Alchemist hardware that is already out there, and they will have up to 128 processing units².
Bottom Line
The news about Intel’s Arrow Lake CPUs have been very interesting; they show that Intel may be changing the way they create CPUs. While we wait for the official release, these leaks give us a tempting look at what Intel’s next-generation CPUs will be like.
