The rumor about an Intel Arrow Lake-S desktop CPU with 24 cores and 24 threads at 3 GHz allegedly comes from InstaLatX64. Although there is no official confirmation yet, it seems that the Arrow Lake-S CPUs from Intel will have up to 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores. The P-cores may not support Hyper-Threading, which could have both advantages and [...]
