It looks like it is the week for data on Intel’s next-gen Arrow Lake platform, which can arrive after the 14th Gen Core “Raptor Lake Refresh” household of processors which are just a few days away now. In the present day, we’re listening to about alleged energy limits on Arrow Lake, so let’s dive proper in, we could?

Intel’s next-gen Arrow Lake-S processors with 8 P-Cores are based mostly on the Lion Cove CPU structure, whereas the 16 E-Cores are based mostly on the brand new Crestmont CPU structure: a grand whole of 24 cores and 32 threads. That is no change to the current-gen Core i9-13900K and upcoming Core i9-14900K, by the best way.
Onto the facility limits: 125W baseline energy appears to be the usual for Intel’s upcoming unlocked CPUs, whereas the unlocked “Ok” collection processors have a PL1 ranking of 125W, whereas the precise SKU in query on these charts has a PL2 ranking of 177W.
Word: the PL2 ranking on this explicit CPU is way decrease than the Core i9-13900K, which has a PL2 ranking of 253W… that is an enormous 76W (or 43%) discount, as a lot energy financial savings as AMD’s intensive 75W vary of CPUs, heh.

Shifting onto the PL4 energy restrict on this Arrow Lake-S processor, which is 333W… in comparison with the 420W PL4 restrict on the Core i9-13900K, this represents an 87W discount (or 26%).
Main notice: these outcomes can be coming from very, very early engineering samples of Arrow Lake CPUs, however they may make it into the ultimate SKUs once they get launched. Why is that? As a result of the current-gen Intel thirteenth Gen Core and even the upcoming 14th Gen Core CPUs are made on the Intel 7 (10nm ESF) node, whereas the brand new Arrow Lake-S desktop CPUs might be made on the brand new Intel 20A course of node on the compute tile, which is anticipated to ship some good effectivity boosts (I assume we’ll see subsequent 12 months).
Intel Arrow Lake-S desktop CPU options:
- LGA 1851 Socket Longevity Deliberate Uptill 2026
- DDR5 Solely Compatibility, No DDR4 Assist
- Kicks off With 800-Collection Motherboards
- Assist For Up To DDR5-6400 Reminiscence (Native JEDEC)
- Elevated PCIe Gen 5.0 Lanes Via CPU & PCH
- Arrow Lake-S First Desktop Household Supported
- Arrow Lake-S CPUs characteristic 3 MB L2 Cache Per P-Core
- Arrow Lake-S CPUs characteristic refreshed Alchemist iGPUs
- Arrow Lake-S CPUs characteristic built-in LLC “Adamantine” for GPU Tile
- Arrow Lake-S CPUs characteristic 8+16, 8+0, 6+8 CPU SKUs
- Launching In 2H 2024
