Description:
Intels new 15th Gen Arrow Lake CPU laptop lineup will be taking aim at Apples powerful M1 chip equipped MacBooks.
FULL STORY ======================================================================
We now have a first look at both the specs and a likely release date for Intels 15th-generation Arrow Lake-P mobile processors , and we havent even
had a chance to test its 12th-generation Alder Lake-P chips yet.
This leak is thanks to a recently leaked roadmap of the Intel Gen Arrow Lake lineup, and it shows how Intel plans on fighting back against Apples M1 Pro/Max chips, which have so far managed to overtake Intel in integrated graphics.
It seems like Intel Arrow Lake will be based on the Lion Cove and Skymont architectures for the Performance and Efficiency cores, respectively. The investor roadmap mentions TSMC N3, which implies that the chips will use TSMC's N3 process node.
Also mentioned in the leaks is that the CPUs will use both performance and efficient cores, specifically 6+8 configurations. The core count is allegedly 14, the same as the 14th Gen chip. However, the Arrow Lake-P APUs will use up to 320 graphics execution units, which is sure to significantly bump up graphics performance for any laptops relying on integrated graphics.
Though Intel will also be releasing chips for its desktop offerings, the companys primary focus is mobile to specifically target Apples MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch . And from what we know of these rumors, Intels chip is reportedly beating out Apples M1 chips, with 14 cores compared to the latters 10 cores.
According to the roadmap, laptops equipped with Arrow Lake-P processors will be released sometime in 2024. But as these are still unconfirmed leaks, take all this with a grain of salt until Intel officially confirms it.
