An upcoming Core Ultra Arrow Lake-S CPU qualification sample was benchmarked and compared to Intel's outgoing Core i9-14900K. The Arrow Lake part was up to 18% faster than its predecessor but did not outperform it in all benchmarks.

Zen 5 vs. Arrow Lake should be interesting. I think I'll need to invest in some 🍿

In Geekbench, the Arrow Lake chip pulls away from the Core i9-14900K, 9% faster in the single-core benchmark...

I am almost certain the above is incorrect based on the scores shown above this message in the chart. The article needs to be revised to reflect reality of either a typo in the chart or incorrect math to show a 9% increase.

The single core geekbench scores don't add up. 2455 vs 2432 is a 23 point increase. That means the qualification chip only tested ~0.945% faster not 9% faster...

Considering these are early chips that means arrowlake is going to be very competitive with AMD 9000 in single threaded at least.

I would not trust new intel cpu tests when the chip is fresh, degradation appears in 14th gen which are not claimed to have oxidation issue and performance are impacted to keep stability. intel can sell their improvement as advertised on arrow lake chips 9 months later when they prove themselves there is no more significant degradation.

My hope is that they will have learned their lesson from this experience, and do a better job of characterizing & accommodating for degradation in future generations. Also, I think they'll be much stricter about making sure motherboard vendors color inside the lines.

However, I understand your concern and I probably wouldn't be first in line for an Arrow Lake, either. I'm not really the early adopter type, anyhow.

250w how do you turn this on?
PASS

PASS

With a power switch usually located on the case.

Some saying about a six foot pole also comes to mind, in other words, GL other people.

@helper800 that is a cheat from age of empires 2

"You need 250w of power to win something".
It's crazy!

Wow, that's a blast from the past. I played the OG age of empires games and do not remember that code, however, you may need to give at least a little more of a hint to get that one LOL.
