Intel's Arrow Lake Faces Performance Setbacks, Fixes Expected Soon

Intel's latest Core Ultra 200S chips underperform in gaming, with BIOS and OS issues identified as the cause.

Intel's Arrow Lake processors have shown disappointing gaming performance, falling short of expectations and previous-generation Raptor Lake chips.
Robert Hallock, Intel's VP, confirmed that the performance issues are due to optimization problems at the BIOS and OS levels.
The company plans to release fixes by the end of November or early December, aiming to improve gaming performance.
Intel has acknowledged the disconnect between its internal testing and third-party reviews, which highlighted significant performance discrepancies.
Despite the setbacks, Intel maintains that the structural design of Arrow Lake is sound, and the upcoming fixes should address the current issues.
