A data leak details more information about Intel Arrow Lake, the 15th Gen. And it looks like it could come with a massive IPC improvement, with up to 20% higher IPC over Meteor Lake, as well as big efficiency improvements. Therefore, we will have to keep an eye on this processor, as it could give a lot of war when it comes to the market next year.
Intel Arrow Lake: what will this new microarchitecture bring?
One of the latest information leaks about the new Intel Arrow Lake CPUs, which will bring us the 15th Generation of these processors, has revealed some important details. The information has been leaked by RedGamingTech, a well-known leaker.
Among the most outstanding data is the impressive IPC gain, which would reach up to 20% higher than the 14th Gen Meteor Lake. Therefore, the new Arrow Lake designs are expected to feature a significant performance jump over the previous generation, as well as arrive with significant efficiency improvements.
Intel Arrow Lake is expected to be launched in the second half of 2024. Therefore, for now, these are only leaks, and we must remain calm so as not to take data as correct and that finally, it is not so. What is certain is that these processors will also come with the debut of the new Intel 20A and TSMC N3 manufacturing process, as they will be chiplet designs like AMD.
Reports filed by Intel itself suggest that Arrow Lake will have large IPC gains over Raptor Lake (13th Gen) and Meteor Lake (14th Gen), but they did not give specific figures. Some rumors say that it could have a 22-34% jump over P-Core Redwood Cove cores, just as a significant jump will also come on E-Core Skymont over Crestmont. But beware of these figures because they seem too high.
It will yield +20% more than Raptor Lake and Meteor Lake.
Now, Paul, known on the net as RedGamingTech brings other data, and points more towards 20% IPC gain on the P cores. However, in the case of the Arrow Lake P cores versus the Alder Lake P Golden Cove, the jump would be up to 45%. These figures seem somewhat more normal, although they are still surprising.
Furthermore, the leaked report did not provide any data on the IPC gain on the Skymont cores (E-cores), as it only mentions that they will be “extremely impressive” and efficient cores. Therefore, it would bring a good improvement in terms of performance/watt, being able to be up to 1.5 times more efficient than Raptor Lake.
With these details, the leaker also claims that ARL-S processors, i.e. desktop Arrow Lake, would reach 24 cores, 8 P-Cores, and 16 E-cores. There would also be a 40-core SKU, with 8 P-Cores and 32 E-Cores.
It is important to note that Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake are expected to share the same LGA 1851 socket, which could explain Intel’s attempts to simplify the power supply.
Unfortunately, information about the possible clock frequency still remains under wraps. But it is expected that Arrow Lake would have higher frequencies than Meteor Lake. It is rumored that Meteor Lake could have a slight reduction in frequency compared to Raptor Lake, so it is possible that Arrow Lake will have similar frequencies to the current Raptor Lake.
Finally, these figures could vary a lot as more details are known, since Raptor Lake (13th Gen) has just arrived now, and there are still months to go to receive Meteor Lake (14th Gen) and much more for Arrow Lake (15th Gen).
