Intel’s Arrow Lake-S engineering samples have shown a performance increase of up to 15% compared to Raptor Lake CPUs, according to recent reports. Early samples of the Arrow Lake-S CPUs have demonstrated a 3% improvement in single-core performance and a significant 15% boost in multi-core performance at 250W.
These performance figures are based on real engineering samples (ES2) rather than estimates, and the benchmarking was done against similarly specced Raptor Lake (13th Gen) chips. The TDP of the Arrow Lake-S CPUs is expected to be lower than the Raptor Lake-S Refresh CPUs of the 14th Gen.
In terms of specific performance gains, the Arrow Lake-S CPUs show a 3% increase in single-core tests and a 15% increase in multi-core tests. These improvements are not related to IPC but rather throughput.
Further enhancements are expected during the Qualification Sample (QS) review phase, which could result in a 5% boost in single-core performance and up to 20% improvement in multi-threading. The top-of-the-line Arrow Lake-S configurations have been seen to reach frequencies of up to 5.7GHz.
Looking ahead, rumors suggest that Arrow Lake-S CPUs could see a significant boost in single-thread performance and multi-threading, making them a strong competitor against AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 9000 CPUs based on the Zen 5 architecture. Intel is aiming for an October 2024 release for the Arrow Lake-S CPUs.
Comparisons between the next-generation AMD and Intel desktop CPU platforms reveal differences in CPU brand, architecture, CPI, core count, thread count, L3 cache, GPU integration, memory support, platform support, socket support, TDP, and launch date. The AMD Fast Granite (Ryzen 9000) CPUs are expected to launch in July 2024, while Intel’s Arrow Lake CPUs are set for release in October 2024.
Overall, the performance improvements in Intel’s Arrow Lake-S CPUs indicate a promising advancement in processing power and competitive positioning in the CPU market. With continued development and optimizations, these CPUs are poised to offer strong performance benefits for users.
