Intel's Arrow Lake, part of the 15th Generation processors, is set to succeed both the 13th Generation Raptor Lake and 14th Generation Meteor Lake, with availability expected by the end of 2024. The processors will utilize the new Intel 20A process node, equivalent to 2nm, a significant improvement over the current 7nm (Intel 4) used in Meteor Lake. Leaked information suggests a 5% boost in single-core performance and a 15% improvement in multi-core performance.
Expected enhancements include more efficiency cores, potent integrated graphics, and support for faster memory, possibly DDR5-6400. The initial launch may feature a maximum of 24 cores (8 performance cores, 16 efficiency cores), with a rumored refresh doubling efficiency cores to 32, totaling 40 cores. Intel is reportedly abandoning hyperthreading for this generation, relying on strong multi-core performance. The integrated graphics might be based on Arc Alchemist architecture.
While the Arrow Lake processors are anticipated by the end of 2024, widespread adoption in laptops may not occur until 2025. These details are subject to updates and additional rumors as more information becomes available.
