• Arrow Lake CPUs feature 8 Performance Cores and 16 Efficiency Cores, with no Hyper-Threading on P-Cores.
• Benchmarks suggest slight regression in multi-thread performance compared to Raptor Lake CPUs.
• New 800-series chipsets will accompany Arrow Lake, introducing LGA1851 socket and improved PCIe lanes.
• Arrow Lake expected to launch in October, with final performance yet to be confirmed.
