Arrow power limits revealed.. tsmc N3 lookinh good 43% more efficient at pl2 than intel 7 node 😃💻Alleged Intel Arrow Lake-S CPU Power Limits Revealed: 125W PL1, 177W PL2, 333W PL4 For 8+16 Core Unlocked SKU
Alleged power limits of Intel's Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPU featuring 8 P-Cores and 16 E-Cores have been revealed by Darkmont.wccftech.com
That isn’t what Intel says. Intel is using Intel 20a, which is a 2nm class node. I know that some here have indicated they are dual sourcing for compute chiplets, however they’ve all but denied this.It's dual sourced, N3(most likely B) is used for the CPU tile as well. It's understandable Intel doesn't want to confirm it though, considering how it would effect stock lol.
The power limit reduction is in line with Intel 20a. Notice that Intel (according to the earlier rumor) dropped their power limits just enough to be in line with AM5 parts.
Regardless of process, It is beginning to become clear what Arrow Lake is (I already suspected something like this was going on, glad to see I wasn’t wrong)
~5-15% performance uplift, 40%+ power reduction (huge perf/watt improvement)
Intel won’t get all the credit they deserve. They are fixing their perf/watt issues. Bravo. I look forward to further details.
