Intel Arrow Lake gains 9% performance in a year while reducing power consumption

[Redaktion]

Fresh benchmarks reveal that Intel's Core Ultra 200S CPUs have meaningfully improved since release, gaining performance while using less power. The results highlight how microcode, kernel, and compiler optimizations can breathe new life into existing silicon.

So nothing at all for Windows, which continues to suck for performance. AMD Zen 5 is even much stronger on Linux.

Yes there are indeed no benchmarks for gains on Windows to report on because Phoronix do exclusively Linux testing ......

9% is indeed not that special when the deficit was 30%-40% in gaming at launch.
Windows version updates have improved results on both as well.

Arrowlake is more competitive on mobile since laptop GPUs constrain the gains (5090M ~= 5070Ti) and the 275HX is available in many more models for lower prices than 9955HX3D, additionally as soldered BGAs both are deadends for upgrades unlike LGA1851 vs AM5
