Can Arrow Lake keep AMD at bay for two years?
A recent leak from MSI has unveiled some intriguing details about Intel’s upcoming Arrow Lake series of CPUs. Shared on the Korean hardware forum Quasar Zone, this slide reveals power configurations that enthusiasts and industry insiders are eager to dissect. Curiously, the slide hints at an “Arrow Lake-S Refresh,” which was rumored to be canceled not long ago.
Despite being marked with prominent watermarks stating “MSI Confidential” and “NO Public Exposure,” this document is making its rounds across the internet, sparking excitement and speculation.
Key Highlights from the Leak
On the left side of the slide, you’ll find Power Delivery Configurations for Intel’s Core Ultra 5K, 7K, and 9K families of processors. This could suggest significant performance upgrades on the horizon.
On the right side, there are notes and details referencing an RDC (Resource and Documentation Center) document labeled “#730325.” This document reportedly outlines the platform design guide for a potential Arrow Lake-S Refresh. The most notable takeaway? It seems Intel has been actively discussing this refresh with board partners. It’s clear that the product was in development, as OEMs have already begun designing power delivery profiles for these CPUs and upcoming Non-K SKUs.
With these developments, the anticipation surrounding Intel’s Arrow Lake series is palpable. It appears that the competition between Intel and AMD is heating up once again, and the landscape of desktop processors could be in for a significant shake-up.
