Intel admits it 'fumbled' with Arrow Lake but is confident about upcoming Nova Lake SKUs

[Redaktion]

Arrow Lake was a clear miss from Intel and the company has also admitted that it did not have a good offering in 2025. That being said, it is more hopeful about its Nova Lake chips coming next year.

Nova Lake lineup is shaping up to be a much better upgrade considering past couple of generations. The CPUs seem to be on track for next year but there isn't an exact release window as of yet.

Nova Lake desktop CPU is most likely not coming in 2026, but 2027. So what they gonna offer us until then?


My thoughts:

Arrow Lake is the first desktop CPU from Intel which could provide a good iGPU (iGPU tile up to 8 XE1 cores, and probably also 8 XE2 cores), theoretically making a good APU for advanced multimedia, video editing, up to AAA gaming at low settings, satisfying a lot of needs without any dGPU.

But instead of making the best out of it, they act like the whole thing is crap, and come up with their shitpost of "wait", just wait", "next one is best", "will take leadership again"... I'm dumbfounded...
