Intel's Arrow Lake CPUs are slated to arrive in October this month. The top-spec model will feature a 24-core CPU, followed by a 20-core SKU, 14-core CPU, and finally, a 10-core processor. Depending on the model, you could get a 4/3/2-core iGPU or none at all. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Entire-Intel-Arrow-Lake-lineup-leaks-with-a-total-of-18-SKUs-spread-out-across-125-W-65-W-and-35-W-tiers.863696.0.html
After having seen the AMD ZEN 5 tests in both CPU, iGPU and NPU, it will seem very difficult to me that Intel can surpass it, at most it will equal in the CPU and NPU, but in the graph AMD is far above Intel and even more so after having seen the AMD Radeon 890M test: +35% graphics performance over the Intel Arc 140V
After having seen the AMD ZEN 5 tests in both CPU, iGPU and NPU, it will seem very difficult to buy any older AMD. In the graph AMD ZEN 5 is far above AMD ZEN 4 and even more so after having seen the AMD Radeon 890M test: +35% graphics performance over AMD Radeon 780m and 880m. Which makes prior ZEN 4 chips trash. No one should buy any of the outdated AMD and Radeon trash anymore. Only ZEN 5 with 890m. Everything else is trash. If you have anything ZEN 4 or Radeon Phoenix, then throw it away, because it's trash already.
Good to see notebookcheck still persisting with the fantasy Arrow Lake is coming out in October. It's December and only for a few SKU's. All 18 SKU's will not be available until months later in Q1 2025.
