Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs Deliver Up To 5% IPC & 15% Multi-Threaded Performance Uplift

wccftech.com:

Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs will be the next major family for high-end PC gamers and entry-level workstation users. While we wait for the chips to launch in 2024, there are several reports & leaks that tell us what to expect.

Back in July, we got to see the performance estimations of an Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPU that was put against a 13th Gen Raptor Lake-S Desktop CPU. The early estimates showed a 2% gain in single-core (IPC / Clock Normalized) and a 14% gain in multi-threaded performance on average. We had predicted that the final performance would improve by a little bit but it looks like it won't be a big increment over what we had already seen.

A slide leaked by Uzzi38 over at the Anandtech Forums shows us similar performance figures for Intel's Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs. The slide mentions Arrow Lake-S as the next evolution of the desktop and entry-level workstation platform, aiming the ultimate gaming performance segment.

According to the leaked slide, the Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs offer a 5% IPC increase and a 15% increase in multi-threaded performance. There's also mention of the new P-Cores & E-Cores which we already know are based upon the Lion Cove and Skymont architectures. The CPUs will also feature up to 50% larger L2 cache as we reported earlier.

Now the leaked slide was posted in September and it could be a bit old. We have seen with other launches that the final performance numbers end up slightly better during the manufacturing and production cycle than what's reported at launch and since there's still a year left in the launch of these chips, we can still expect some minor improvements. Some of the key features on the Intel Arrow Lake-S desktop CPU lineup include:
