Intel's next-generation processor ``Arrow Lake-S'' has the same number of cores as the 14th generation and may not support hyper-threading

Leaked Intel documents reveal that Intel's next-generation processors, codenamed 'Arrow Lake-S,' will not have an increase in core count compared to the existing 14th generation 'Raptor Lake Refresh' processors. .

Leaked documents list Intel Arrow Lake-S with 8P+16E cores, 125W TDP, full 800-series chipset details - VideoCardz.com

Intel's next-gen Arrow Lake CPUs might come without hyperthreaded cores — leak points to 24 CPU cores, DDR5-6400 support, and a new 800-series chipset | Tom's Hardware

X (formerly Twitter) user @YuuKi_AnS , who leaked the material, deleted the post at the time of writing, but technology media VideoCardz has reposted the same content.

According to the document, Intel seems to be preparing a die containing 8 high-performance (P) cores and 16 high-efficiency (E) cores in the Arrow Lake-S series for desktops. Other patterns of 6P + 16E cores and 6P + 8E cores are also published in the document, but assuming this information is accurate, Intel's next-generation desktop CPUs will have an increased number of cores compared to the Raptor Lake Refresh-S CPU. Also, there will be no P cores that support hyper-threading, which is a standard feature of existing processors.

Hyper-threading is Intel's technology that allows two threads to run on one CPU core, but there have been rumors for some time that Intel will abolish hyper-threading and move to

a new approach , P-cores, so this document is based on these predictions. This will support this.

Additionally, we learned from the document that the Arrow Lake-S socket ' LGA-1851 ' only uses DDR5-6400 memory, as previously reported , and does not support DDR4. In addition, initial motherboards equipped with the LGA-1851 socket will have 16 PCIe 5.0 lanes for graphics cards and two 4-lane PCIe 5.0 lanes for storage. Additionally, it also supports UHB20 rate DisplayPort output and Thunderbolt 4 connector.

The chipset seems to be an Intel 800 series with a total of 24 PCIe 4.0 lanes. At least 8 of these lanes are dedicated to two M.2 drives, and 4+4+2 lanes are included for graphics cards and expansion cards.

The leaked materials include the description 'pre-release', so there is a possibility that it will not actually be released on the market with the same specifications.
