Intel Reveals Processor Roadmap Featuring Lunar Lake & Arrow Lake
Intel confirmed its plans for both consumer and server-grade processors through 2024 in a call with investors, further expressing its commitment to the new Intel 3 fabrication process. It comes at a time when the company is surging after facing significant challenges from competitors AMD and Apple. Despite the initial concerns that the company's year-over-year improvements were stalling, Intel quelled those fears with new desktop and laptop chips. These 12th generation chips are the fastest in the world in a variety of benchmarks, besting even the newest M1 Max processors.
That might just be due to the company's shift in leadership and its commitment to acquiring proven talent. Intel's CEO, Pat Gelsinger, comes from an engineering background, which may prove to be more effective in developing technology than former corporate executives. Gelsinger and company leadership have also added engineering talent externally, resulting in a more well-rounded team. Intel poached Jeff Wilcox from Apple, who spent years perfecting the system-on-a-chip (S0C) processor, which has been scaled up to produce Apple's M1 line of processors. It's an area Intel had historically fallen short to competitors, but the changes provide hope for future releases.
