The next main series of CPUs for entry-level workstation users and high-end PC gamers is called Intel Arrow Lake-S. We have seen the performance estimates of an Intel Arrow Lake-S desktop CPU compared to those of a 13th Gen Raptor Lake-S desktop CPU back in July. Early estimations indicated an average increase in multi-threaded performance of 14% and a 2% boost in single-core (IPC / Clock Normalized) performance. It is expected that the final performance will be slightly better than what we had seen, but it doesn’t seem like there will be a significant improvement.

Similar performance data for Intel’s Arrow Lake-S desktop CPUs is shown on a slide that was leaked by Uzzi38 over at the Anandtech Forums. The PowerPoint describes Arrow Lake-S as the upcoming generation of desktop and entry-level workstation platforms, targeting the market for the highest possible gaming performance.

The Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs offer a 15% increase in multi-threaded performance and a 5% rise in IPC, according to the stolen slide. The new P-Cores and E-Cores, which are based on the Lion Cove and Skymont architectures, are also mentioned.

The exposed slide was published in September, so it might be a little dated. Since there is still a year left in the launch of these chips, we can still anticipate some tiny improvements. As with other launches, we have observed that the final performance numbers wind up being somewhat better during the manufacturing and production cycle than what is claimed at launch.

New graphics cards built on the Battlemage1 architecture are also mentioned in addition to the Intel Arrow Lake-S desktop CPUs. That explains why Intel is placed next to the Ultimate Gaming sector given that the Battlemage portfolio is anticipated to target the high-end market.

The 8 P-Core and 16 E-Core architecture, which is also the highest you can get on a 13th Gen and 14th Gen Raptor Lake chip, is now the most prominent core combination available for the Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs. There is still a year until the release of the Arrow Lake-S desktop CPUs, and Intel may not make any announcements on them until a few months before the launch.
