Intel Arrow Lake performance is 25-35% higher, no hyper-threading technology is a highlight

Arrow Lake is scheduled to launch in late 2024, succeeding Raptor Lake Refresh. Due to Arrow Lake's major architectural overhaul, Intel decided to remove Hyper-Threading technology from these CPUs, meaning only one thread can be used per core. Still, Arrow Lake's performance is said to be 25-35% better than Meteor Lake's, with CPU performance even exceeding Zen 5 in some application tests.

However, Arrow Lake's NPU performance can only output 13 TOPS, which is comparable to Meteor Lake.

Arrow Lake related breaking information is as follows:

  • Intel 20A + TSMC N3B process node
  • Lion Cove P-Core + Skymont E-Core Architecture
  • Up to 24 cores / 24 threads
  • No hyper-threading technology
  • Features LGA 1851 socket
  • Supports DDR5-6400 memory (JEDEC)
  • Expected to launch in the second half of 2024

Lunar Lake performance is expected to exceed 40 TOPS, which is comparable to AMD's Strix products.

MLID also revealed in the video that Intel plans to release the Lunar Lake platform by the end of 2024. If AXG (Intel Graphics Group) can resolve Battlemage's driver issues, Lunar Lake may launch earlier than Arrow Lake. Intel has packed 8 Xe-Cores based on Battlemage, which is expected to perform similarly to Meteor Lake, but consume only half the power.

In addition, the mobile version of Arrow Lake will use an improved version of Alchemist, named Alchemist+.

The desktop version will continue to use the old Alchemist, the one you see in Meteor Lake.


Lunar Lake specifications are as follows

  • Up to 4 Lion-Cove P cores and 4 Skymont E cores without SMT (a hardware multithreading technology that can execute instructions from multiple threads in one CPU clock cycle)
  • 8 Xe2 (Battlemage) iGPU cores
  • Supports built-in LPDDR5x-8533 memory
  • Build CPU+GFX Tile using TSMC N3B node
  • SoC Tile uses Intel 18A process
  • Next generation NPU 4.0
  • Supports WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4
  • 40% efficiency improvement
  • 2.5 TFLOPS (12W) | 3.8 TFLOPS (peak performance)
