With the launch of Core Ultra 200V chips for laptops, Intel’s renamed processors have actually celebrated an auspicious debut. That’s why they wanted to take the next step out of the crisis with Arrow Lake in the desktop sector. But just days before their release, the first reports of a rather disappointing performance emerged. In some cases, there were even indications of renewed instabilities in the new chips, which had already affected the previous generation of Raptor Lake processors. In early November, Intel announced through its senior director of technical marketing, Robert Hallock, that it had been surprised by the lower performance of Core Ultra processors. In internal testing, processors achieved different values than those reported by reviewers and testers. The reasons for this are probably extremely diverse, Hallock believes. However, they are already working on firmware and software updates that would contribute to a “significant” increase in performance. However, the Intel man did not give any precise figures.
