Discussion Arrow Lake and Temperature

[jnjnilson6]

Do you think that Arrow Lake would curb down the heat of 14th gen? (especially in the higher-end segment)

I think they are trying to create a better architecture overall. 14th gen seemed like the Pentium 4 PresHOT era all over again. Sure the chips are powerful but they do take in a lot of Wattage and the temperatures do excel.

I would like this to be an informative little discussion and that true points of view are proffered ahead within the gaudy beauty of the hardware community.
I do think they are trying to create more stable chips with Arrow Lake - less heat, wattage, lower GHz and synonymous performance. Such a shift in the aforementioned priorities over stark power seemed quite necessary and I do think this is the good way.

There is almost always a frequency reduction when moving to a smaller node, so I would call that normal. Frequency creeps back up as a particular process node gets more mature.

Though Arrowlake doesn't look like much of a regression in that regard.

They are already claiming like 100W less power, which isn't exactly something they couldn't have done with 12-14th gen, they just chose to push the limits to stay competitive. Being able to put 6Ghz on the box probably has a direct effect on sales.

I think we've seen some engineering sample benchmarks, and they look promising for at least parity with 14th gen while having that 100W reduction. Hopefully that remains through to the launch.
