Reports suggest that Intel's Arrow Lake processors will not be equipped with LP cores. These additional E-cores are integrated into the social tile in the Meteor Lake generation, which helps save energy as the compute tile with more powerful cores does not need to be activated for background tasks.
In addition to the absence of LP cores, a Bilibili user named Golden Pig Upgrade has shared more details about the next generation of Intel chips, as reported by VideoCardz. It is mentioned that Intel is planning to use the brand name Core Ultra 2 instead of the fifteenth Core i generation, a brand name that Intel has not used since last year. The Arrow Lake product line is expected to launch in approximately six months, with Intel confirming that the first Arrow Lake chips will debut this year.
According to the Bilibili post, Arrow Lake's integrated GPU will be limited to a maximum of four Xe cores, which is half of the fastest Meteor Lake CPUs. It is also noted that there will be no hyperthreading or support for DDR4 memory. However, the NPU for AI tasks will still be present, offering similar performance to the Meteor Lake equivalents.
Regarding the production process, it is reported that Intel will only enable its latest 20A node for the CPU tiles of desktop chips featuring 6 P-cores and 8 E-cores. Slower models and CPUs for laptops are said to use an unspecified TSMC process, according to sources.
