It&apos;s part of the reason I don&apos;t like to cover too many rumours, because I don&apos;t want others suffering the same potential disappointment. But these latest ones have rekindled the slightest glimmer of hope inside me.<\/p>\n<p>Here&apos;s the latest, in short. Firstly, we might now know some clock speeds of entry-level and mid-range Arrow Lake-S desktop CPUs thanks to an apparent leak conveyed by X user <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/OneRaichu\/status\/1828978653495255102\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raichu<\/a> (via <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/videocardz.com\/newz\/intel-core-ultra-5-245-235-and-core-ultra-3-205-clock-specs-have-been-leaked\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VideoCardz<\/a>). And they&apos;re decent considering other rumoured architectural and efficiency improvements.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, there&apos;s renewed reason to look towards a powerful Arrow Lake Halo mobile processor, because it&apos;s been mentioned in a shipping manifesto at <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nbd.ltd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBD.ltd<\/a> (via <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/wccftech.com\/intel-arrow-lake-halo-enthusiast-laptop-cpus-spotted-tackle-amd-strix-halo-apple\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wccftech<\/a>) and has seemingly been <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weibo.com\/7517897889\/Ouk2iFy7J?pagetype=profilefeed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">confirmed by a Lenovo PR<\/a> (via <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/videocardz.com\/newz\/intel-has-amd-strix-halo-competitor-in-the-works-but-it-wont-be-available-soon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VideoCardz<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Arrow Lake looks to be <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/intels-next-gen-arrow-lake-desktop-cpus-are-reportedly-only-7-weeks-away-from-launch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">just a few weeks away<\/a>, and I bet Intel&apos;s got its fingers (possibly even its toes) crossed for a great launch. After <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/intel-is-laying-off-15000-people-we-are-making-some-of-the-most-consequential-changes-in-our-companys-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">layoffs<\/a>, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/intel-sells-all-its-arm-shares-likely-raising-almost-dollar150-million-aka-peanuts-in-tech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arm share liquidation<\/a>, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/intel-cpu-crashes-what-you-need-to-knowmicrocode-to-blame-but-fix-incoming-this-month-alongside-two-year-extended-warranty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raptor Lake stability issues<\/a>, and a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tomshardware.com\/pc-components\/cpus\/intel-delays-innovation-event-to-2025-amid-layoffs-and-uncertainties\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dropped 2024 invitation event<\/a>, tides must <em>surely <\/em>now be ready to turn for chipzilla.<\/p>\n<p>While one can only hope, these latest rumours do point in a positive direction for a change. Let&apos;s start with the Arrow Lake-S specs. The clock speeds most relevant to gamers are rumoured to be as follows:<\/p>\n<p>We don&apos;t know precisely how the new Core Ultra nomenclature will stack the chips up compared to previous i5\/i7\/i9 nomenclature, so it&apos;s hard to know exactly which chips to compare these to. But given they&apos;re not Core Ultra 7 or 9 chips, we can probably compare them to i3 and i5 chips.<\/p>\n<p>In which case, these numbers look pretty good. The current-gen <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/intel-core-i5-14600k-review-performance-benchmarks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Intel Core i5 14600K<\/a> has a boost clock of 5.3 GHz and the Core i5 14400 has a boost clock of 4.7 GHz. Which means these rumoured Arrow Lake-S clock speeds are pretty much in-line with current-gen chips.<\/p>\n<p>If that was the whole story then there&apos;d be little to get excited about, but we must remember Arrow Lake-S is said to not only <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/intels-arrow-lake-chips-could-be-using-a-brand-new-core-layout-for-the-first-time-in-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">use a brand new core layout<\/a> but also be mostly produced on TSMC&apos;s N3 node and <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/next-gen-intel-arrow-lake-cpus-rumored-to-consume-at-least-100-w-less-power-at-high-frequencies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">consume up to 100 W less power at high frequencies<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After hearing that Arrow Lake should be a lot more efficient, I was a little worried that we just wouldn&apos;t see enough high frequencies for these fabled efficiency gains to kick in, at least not with lower-end chips. But if these clock speeds are correct, it looks like I might not need to worry after all..<\/p>\n<p>This, of course, is on top of what we&apos;ve already heard about the higher-end Arrow Lake chips\u2014which should launch before lower-end ones. The upcoming flagship Core Ultra 9 285K, for instance, is <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/wccftech.com\/intel-core-ultra-9-285k-arrow-lake-cpu-blazes-past-core-i9-14900ks-ryzen-9-9950x-benchmark-leak\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rumoured<\/a> to boost up to 5.7 GHz and perform better than the Intel Core i9 14900KS and <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/amd-ryzen-9-9950x-review-performance-benchmarks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AMD Ryzen 9 9950X<\/a> in single-threaded and multi-core workloads.<\/p>\n<p>But shimmying this down into the lower end with some decent clock speeds, too? I can be here for that.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fancy-box\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">Your next upgrade<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' >\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"tidxyoUY3P2N5A2jEhgSNK\" name=\"nvidia-rtx-4070-12.jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"Nvidia RTX 4070 and RTX 3080 Founders Edition graphics cards\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/the-latest-influx-of-intel-arrow-lake-rumours-make-me-cautiously-hopeful-about-desktop-and-mobile-processors-for-a-change.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"pinterest-pin-exclude\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\"><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-cpu-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best CPU for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: The top chips from Intel and AMD.<br \/>\n<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-motherboards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best gaming motherboard<\/strong><\/a>: The right boards.<br \/>\n<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-graphics-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best graphics card<\/strong><\/a>: Your perfect pixel-pusher awaits.<br \/>\n<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-ssd-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best SSD for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: Get into the game ahead of the rest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>And then we come to Intel Arrow Lake Halo, the spectrous mobile graphical powerhouse\u2014somewhat of a Schrodinger&apos;s chip, nebulously both in and out of existence in the minds of observers in the rumour mill.

There&apos;s been a lot of back-and-forth since then, and nobody really knows what such a chip would actually be like, but &#8220;Halo&#8221; is meant to designate, y&apos;know, a <em>halo <\/em>product, so don&apos;t blame me for feeling a twinge of excitement at potential evidence that it exists.<\/p>\n<p>Plenty to be tentatively excited about, then, or at least tentatively attentive. Imagine if Intel could be the one to bring the gaming processor scene back from the brink.
