Intel’s CPU Roadmap Update: Arrow Lake and Panther Lake Cancellations Signal Major Changes Ahead for Desktop Processors

Pretty much as a desktop fan (LGA1700) should be. Fern Lake (Heart 12000) Meteor Lakebut in the end it only stayed in notebooks and desktop computers got it Bird Lakethat’s what it once looked like with the upcoming LGA1851 socket. Intel was originally supposed to release forty percent Arrow Lake (8+32) and should continue Panther Lake. But not everything went according to plan and Intel only managed to complete the 24-core version (8 + 16) Arrow Lake. So the plan was to release the arrangement Arrow Lake with 24 cores and lag Panther Lake to resolve the 40-core version when released.

But problems with Panther Lake has been more fundamental than expected last year. So Intel canceled its desktop version. This year, information leaked that the 40-core version was canceled as well Arrow Lake. He was replaced with a 24-heart one Arrow lake update., which was supposed to offer slightly higher tempos and minor improvements.

We learn from the Panzerlied leak that this situation is no longer current. Arrow lake update it was canceled and it looks like Intel po Arrow Lake it won’t release anything new for desktop for a generation New Lakeexpected around 2026. This would be strange for two reasons. For one thing, that was expected New Lake it will be intended for the successor to the LGA1851 socket, which would mean that only one generation of processors can be installed on these boards. Furthermore, it would mean that they would Arrow Lake it remained on the market as a current product for about two years, which is quite unusual for Intel.

Intel could address the socket situation with a redesign New Lake for socket LGA1851. The question is how he will handle the gap that seems to be two years. The editors of the VideoCardz website believe that it may leak New Lake already in 2025 and thus stay with the usual annual period. The second possibility, just as part of the savings, is that the period will be extended. After all, he works for AMD, and as part of drastic measures, such a move would not be surprising. For example, by publishing Raptor lake update / Core 14000 didn’t help Intel in any way, and basically nothing would have happened if it hadn’t happened.
