Intel is set to announce its new desktop CPU series, “Arrow Lake-S,” in two days. This series will not only feature a new name but also an entirely new architecture. The CPU architecture will be upgraded to Lion Cove P-Cores and Skymont E-Cores, similar to those featured in Core Ultra 200V, also known as Lunar Lake.
IPC Performance Gains Revealed in Leaked Information
Intel is currently briefing the media on the new series, and one of the slides has been leaked.
This slide appears to showcase the IPC (Instructions Per Cycle) gains for both types of cores. The right side focuses on the IPC gain for Lion Cove over Raptor Cove, indicating a 9% increase. The left side claims that Skymont has a 32% higher IPC compared to Gracemont. Skymont’s significant gain is also attributed to increased L2 cache bandwidth.
Lion Cove Features: Large LLC and L2 Cache
Lion Cove includes 36MB of shared LLC (Last Level Cache) and uses a 16.67 MHz clock frequency, likely referring to improvements in instruction handling or scheduling. The leaked slides also mention an improved memory system, with enhanced internal memory enabling 3MB of L2 cache per core.
Summary
These are just some highlights from the new presentation that is already circulating online. More details are expected to leak soon, including final SKU names and pricing. Intel’s new desktop CPU series “Arrow Lake-S” promises significant performance improvements with Lion Cove and Skymont, making its upcoming announcement highly anticipated.
