Rumor: Intel Arrow Lake gets up to 15 percent higher multithreaded performance

A leaked Intel slide has surfaced on the AnandTech forum. It includes some new details about Arrow Lake, including performance goals. Arrow Lake will be the fifteenth generation of Core processors and is scheduled for release next year.

The leaked slide was already shared in September on the AnandTech forum by user uzzi38but was only noticed now by VideoCardz, among others. The slide is largely censored by the user themselves, but does include the performance goals Intel hopes to achieve with its Arrow Lake-S processors for desktops.

According to the slide, Arrow Lake-S’s single-threaded performance should be five percent higher than before. For multithreaded workloads, the CPUs must be up to fifteen percent faster. Presumably those performance increases are compared to the Raptor Lake refresh, which is rumored to be coming soon. Intel would achieve those improvements with new P and E cores.

Arrow Lake is expected to be released in the second half of next year. It will be the successor to Meteor Lake and the Raptor Lake refresh. Arrow Lake is expected to be produced partly on Intel’s upcoming 20A process, which uses Gaa transistors. According to the slide from uzzi38, the CPU will also have a second generation Arc GPU integrated.
