Intel kicked off the Arrow Lake party with a mix of "K" (unlocked multiplier) and "KF" (unlocked multiplier + disabled onboard graphics) models, and namely the Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K and 265KF, and Core Ultra 5 245K and 245KF. Eventually we will seen non-K models make a debut, evidence of which can be...

As is customary whenever a company like AMD or Intel launches a new processor lineup, someone is going to rip off the integrated heatspreader (IHS) to expose the die area. That's precisely what has happened with a purported Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) processor, and what makes this especially interesting is...

Memory overclocking can have a huge effect on application performance, depending on the app in question. One of the key features of Intel's new Arrow Lake processors is that they can support stratospheric memory transfer rates. However, that may only apply to the high-powered "K" series processors, at least if ASRock...

AMD's eventual release of its Ryzen 9000X3D series processors with 3D V-cache is arguably the most anticipated CPU lineup launches of the year, and with good reason—the added cache is great for gaming. That said, if recent leaks and rumors prove accurate, AMD's unveiling could take attention away from Intel's Core...

With the impending launch of Intel's Arrow Lake CPUs seemingly around the corner, we are seeing many companies confirm product compatibility with the LGA1851 socket. As such, Noctua has confirmed which coolers in their line-up will be compatible and has also given instructions on how some users can get free upgrade...

In case you missed it, Intel last week officially launched its Core Ultra 200S series processors, otherwise known as Arrow Lake, for the desktop platform. The initial launch comprises five CPU SKUs in total, including three main "K" models and two "KF" variants, but could there be a faster sixth SKU waiting in the...

In case you're not aware, Intel this week officially launched its Core Ultra 200S processor series, otherwise known as Arrow Lake, which bring some exciting design tweaks and big performance and power efficiency claims to the desktop. As is always the case, OEMs and other hardware partners are quick to pounce with...

Back in late 2021, Intel's 12th generation of desktop CPUs, codenamed Alder Lake, was a revelation. After years of mostly spinning its wheels and ceding performance crowns to rival AMD, Chipzilla was finally back on top. And aside from some modest refinements like faster memory support and expanding the number of...

As if we didn't have enough leaks about Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake CPUs, today we see another online retailer listing prices. That's right, Canadian retailer shopRBC has listed pricing for five Arrow Lake CPUs. Previously we saw the supposed UK pricing thanks to the retailer LambdaTek briefly listing it on their...

For Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 200 desktop processors, perhaps more familiar by their code-name "Arrow Lake", Intel has removed Hyper-Threading from the P-cores. That makes those CPUs narrower, so they might not need as much memory bandwidth, right? Well, the Skymont E-cores are nearly three times as wide as the...

After the competent but uninspiring performance of AMD's Ryzen 9000 processors, the PC enthusiast space is looking for some real excitement to drag it out of the doldrums. Some folks are so weary of the same old stuff that they're actually excited about the PS5 Pro launch, despite it's lofty price tag. Don't fret...

We already know that Intel is absolutely looking to launch its Arrow Lake desktop processors, branded as the Core Ultra 200 series, later this year. But when, exactly? According to a social media post from HKEPC, the launch will occur on October 24th. HKEPC is a Hong Kong-based tech blog with a long history of...

After the somewhat-underwhelming launch of AMD's Ryzen 9000 processors, some enthusiasts are looking to Intel to drag us out of the hardware enthusiast doldrums. The company's upcoming Arrow Lake processors are a departure from standard practice in a number of ways, including the use of all-new CPU cores as well as...

Don't blame us for the awkward construction in the headline, because Intel has formally named the stability problem affecting its 13th- and 14th-generation desktop CPUs: "Vmin Shift Instability Issue". Non-words aside, the issue is that the company's high-powered Raptor Lake desktop CPUs have issues with excess...

In the lead up to Intel's eventual Arrow Lake launch, rumors and leaks are starting to pile up with increased plausibility, as tends to happen the closer we get to a product's official release. The latest source of leaks comes from a familiar source—Geekbench's benchmark database—and it hints that Intel's flagship...

Before the launch of AMD's Zen 5 CPUs, many people remarked that Intel's Raptor Lake woes had left AMD with a competitive "opening" against rival Intel. However, given the modest performance and efficiency gains over the previous-generation Zen 4 parts in client workloads, the narrative has now shifted, with some...

Intel is dealing with challenges on several fronts, and as a result, the Santa Clara chip maker announced it is postponing its upcoming Innovation 2024 chip event that was originally scheduled to take place September 24-25, 2024 in San Jose, California. Instead, it will now take place sometime in 2025, though Intel...

All the excitement in the enthusiast scene lately has been aimed at AMD's new Zen 5-based processors. That's "Strix Point" for mobile, comprising the Ryzen AI 300 series, and then "Granite Ridge" for desktop, making up the Ryzen 9000 series, and both are launching soon—albeit not quite as soon as intended. However...

Intel's Lunar Lake processors are expected sooner than later for mobile machines, and may just give the competition a shock when they hit. What about desktop, though? Intel's current-generation desktop parts are pretty fast, but they're besieged by reliability concerns and are extremely power-thirsty. Not only that...

There's evidence to suggest that Intel's Arrow Lake CPUs are out in the wild in engineering sample form (early ES chips recently showed up for sale in China for $14 a pop), which is to be expected at this stage. Purportedly, someone has posted a couple of benchmarks with mixed results from one of those chips, with...

On Intel's current platforms, if you want a PCIe 5.0 SSD connected directly to your CPU for the most optimal performance, it's going to split off of the PCIe x16 slot normally meant for graphics. That's because the only PCIe 5.0 lanes on the LGA 1700 platform are dedicated to that x16 slot—unlike AMD's 16+4+4...

Intel shared a lot of information with us at Computex concerning its Lunar Lake mobile processors launching soon, but had very little to say about its upcoming Arrow Lake desktop CPUs. There were a few tidbits buried in the presentations on the Lion Cove and Skymont CPU architectures that constitute Lunar Lake and...
