Intel will have its work cut out for it if it wants to compete with the new generation of competing processors. 2024 should be a prolific year as for CPUs and fortunately the firm responsible for the future Core Ultra 200 (Arrow Lake) has several aces up its sleeve.
Between its different mobile segments, which include the Core Ultra 200V (Lunar Lake) designed for AI and more “classic” processors of the family of Arrow LakeIntel’s catalog promises to be extensive.
The Core Ultra 200 which should be released at the end of the year, between October and Decemberseem particularly promising. The CPU desktop (Arrow Lake-S) would have a higher base frequency in order to sweep the performance of previous generation Intel Cores.
Although Arrow Lake skips hyper-threading, its new architecture consisting of P-Core Lion Cove and of E-Core Skymont should provide efficiency and increased capacities. In this regard, the recent leak of a benchmark of one of the desktop CPUs tends to confirm these improvements.
Arrow Lake unbeatable in single-threads?
It seems that the Core Ultra 200, en mono-threads benefit from a increase of more than 20% of their performance in comparison with l’Intel Core i9-14900KS. If true, this result could be particularly impressive considering that the Core i9 has taken the crown for the world’s fastest processor.
The benchmark in question comes from a user of the Baidu forum Tieba, having nothing official It is therefore appropriate to consider with caution. The scores obtained by the Arrow Lake processor, if it is indeed a CPU from this family, are nevertheless encouraging.
Anyway, in mono-threads the one gets 1143.2 points while in multi-threads the score would be 12,922.4. While the CPU tested is unknown, its score (multi-threads) places it below the current i7-14700K and i7-13700K.
It is therefore possible that the Arrow Lake in question comes from the Intel’s next 5 series. All the more so since its results denote a increase close to 30% related to Core i5-14600K.
Towards a high-performance generation of Intel Core Ultra 200
On the other hand, the fact that it is more efficient (in mono-threads) that fastest processors of the current generation is still interesting. A particularly complex task would be handled much faster by the Arrow Lake, even by those from the less advanced series.
What’s more, multi-threading has not to be ashamed of eitherin its potential category (5 series) the tested CPU would also offer a significant improvement performance. Arrow Lake-S processors are expected to be among the first Core Ultra 200 to be released. The desktop segment is expected to arrive in October while mobile CPUs could arrive early next year.
| Arrow Lake-S | Core i9-14900K | |

| Number of hearts | 24 hearts (8+16) | 24 hearts (8+16) |
| Base frequency | 3,6 GHz | 3,2 GHz(P-Core) |
| Max Frequency | ? | 6,0 Ghz |

- A bench of a potential Arrow Lake CPU allows us to see the improvements in CPUs.
- The single-threaded score is said to be more than 20% higher than the Core i9-13700K.
- In multithreads, the performance gain would be 30% compared to the Core i5-14600K
