Jeremy has been writing about technology and PCs since the 90nm Netburst era (Google it!) and enjoys nothing more than a serious dissertation on the finer points of monitor input lag and overshoot followed by a forensic examination of advanced lithography. Or maybe he just likes machines that go “ping!” He also has a thing for tennis and cars.
What with the ongoing 13th and 14th Gen CPU debacle, wouldn't it be nice if Intel had a hot new generation of desktop processors to fix everything. In theory, that would be Arrow Lake, due out later this year.
However, the big difference with Arrow Lake is that it ditches HyperThreading from its Performance cores. That means it drops eight threads from its overall thread processing count versus its predecessor. With that in mind, the slight regression in multi-thread performance does make sense. Indeed, it's actually less of a drop than you might expect from the removal of HypperThreading support.Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
These Geekbench 6 numbers indicate a single-thread uptick of just over 7%. That's hardly a radical jump. However, multiple factors are not clear. What clock speed is the new chip running at? And is that speed representative of the final product?
