The 14th generation Intel processors for desktops, the Raptor Lake Refresh, is a minor update to the specifications of the 13th generation without much other news than slightly higher clock frequencies. But the next generation is already waiting around the corner with bigger changes, and now new details have leaked about Arrow Lake-S, as the fifteenth generation desktop processors will be called. The data comes from internal Intel documents that have been published on X by the account Yuuki_ansreports WCCF Tech.
Arrow Lake-S is manufactured using Intel’s 20A process and uses the new Lion Cove and Skymont architectures for P and E cores, respectively. Previous leaks have revealed that Intel has increased the amount of L2 cache by 50 percent to 3MB per core, and the new documents confirm both that and that the new family of processors will come in models with up to 8+16 cores just like the 13th and 14th generation.
According to the new information, the Arrow Lake processors will support up to DDR5-6400 memory and completely lack support for the cheaper DDR4 memory. The number of PCI Express lanes will increase to 20 Gen 5 and 28 Gen 4, plus 16 SATA lanes, 2 USB 4/Thunderbolt, 10 USB 3.2 Gen 2, 14 USB 2.0 and built-in support for Wifi 7.
A minor quibble is that the documents still refer to the “15th generation” even though Intel has implemented a name change to Core Ultra. This may mean that they are out of date and that Intel may have changed details of specifications since the documents were written.
