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:
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
