Intel seems to be preparing multiple Desktop CPU product lines for its 15th Gen lineup which are expected to include Arrow Lake, Panther Lake & Beast Lake.
The information comes from Moore's Law is Dead and talks about what we can expect from the upcoming Intel Desktop CPU lineup. The rumor states that the Intel 15th Gen Desktop CPU lineup was going to include at least four families starting with Meteor Lake-S but recent reports indicate that Meteor Lake-S won't be hitting retail shelves and instead, the 14th Gen family will comprise of refreshed Raptor Lake chips that focus on higher clock speeds with higher power draw & support for faster memory speeds. But that will mark the end of the road for the LGA 1700/1800 platform and it's all LGA 1851 after that.
Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPU Rumors - Up To 40 Cores, 40% Higher Single-Thread Performance
So while Intel Meteor Lake-S may or may not come to the desktop platform, it means technically that the Intel Arrow Lake-S family will be the first desktop offerings for the new LGA 1851 socket platform. The CPUs are said to be on track for a Q4 2024 launch and will include up to 8 P-Cores based on the Lion Cove architecture and 32 E-Cores based on the Skymont architecture. This will give you up to 40 cores and 48 threads. Intel is rumored to leverage both TSMC 3nm and its own 20A nodes for desktop-grade chips and this is for the compute tile:
In terms of performance, MLID claims that the Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs can offer up to a 30-40% increase in single-threaded performance versus Raptor Lake. In Multi-Threaded, the CPU is said to deliver a 40% increase in multi-threaded performance on a 6+8 configuration at the same power so overall desktop performance increase might
