Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs Get Preliminary Support In HWiNFO

wccftech.com:

The latest version of HWiNFO has added preliminary support for Intel's next-generation Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs.

HWiNFO recently updated to version 7.40 and the company has given a list of changes that we can expect in the upcoming version (v7.41). In the list of upcoming changes, the company plans to give preliminary support to Arrow Lake-S, a future Intel desktop CPU lineup that is planned for launch in 2024.

The newest "upcoming changes" for HWiNFO are listed below. We have highlighted the section discussing Arrow Lake-S:

While this list does not give us any initial information about the new desktop CPUs, it could be speculated that the application can single out the product ID's architecture & any CPUID info that might be associated with the Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop chips.

Last week, we reported that the Intel Meteor Lake-S desktop CPUs for the 800-series have been canceled, & in its place, Arrow Lake-S desktop processors would be supported for the Z890, B860, W880, and Q870 chipset motherboards.

The 15th Gen Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs will bring back the 24 cores that we get on Raptor Lake CPUs today. The Arrow Lake-S top die will utilize up to 24 cores which will be a combination of 8 Performance Cores and 16 Efficiency Cores. Following is the full list of SKUs to expect from the lineup:

The difference with the Arrow Lake-S lineup is that all of the configurations feature the top 24 core die and the only difference is the TDP itself. It is likely that lower core count SKUs will be derived from these dies. Intel also seems to have retained the 4 Xe Cores from the Meteor Lake lineup but we expect these to feature a brand new Arc graphics architecture. The 14th Gen Meteor Lake chips are based on a TSMC 5nm GPU
