Internal leak from Intel shows Arrow Lake could see a 21% performance increase over the Core i9 13900K

pcgamer.com:

Performance projections leaked to Igor's Lab show what Intel's internal expectations are for its next two generations of processors. The numbers highlight an up to 21% performance uptick for 2024's Arrow Lack CPU, over the current top 13th Gen CPU and a massive boost to its gaming graphics performance, too. 

Though the upcoming Raptor Lake refresh, or 14th Gen of Intel's desktop processors, don't look anywhere near so comparatively impressive. We're talking a 4% improvement, at best.

Tested against the Core i9 13900K as a baseline, next year's Arrow Lake chips not only look to be up 21% faster overall—in a selection of integer and floating point benchmarks—but also smash their predecessor with around double the iGPU performance in 3DMark Time Spy. 

That's quite a performance boost for Arrow Lake's tiled GPU, but just as was the case for the Core i9 13900K that came before it, the chip isn't exactly focused on gaming. Double the UHD 770's Time Spy figure would put it around 2,000 marks, which is around two-thirds the performance of AMD's impressive Radeon 780M GPU in the Ryzen 7 7840U used in modern gaming handhelds. 

We are still looking at a 240% increase over Raptor Lake's iGPU performance for Arrow Lake, though, which is pretty spicy.

Alongside these performance numbers, it's been found that upcoming Arrow Lake-S and Lunar Lake chips will support a few important instructions, including one particularly interesting extension meant for bashing out the kinds of calculations needed to run some pretty powerful AI applications. We'll be seeing a big focus on neural networking, then, along with some impressive improvements in efficiency, security, and overall performance from the upcoming chips, including the Raptor Lake
