Intel admits ‘self-inflicted wounds’ with Core Ultra 200S CPUs not performing as well as expected – but promises fixes are coming
- Intel's Core Ultra 200S processors underperformed at launch, leading the company to pledge fixes are coming. Robert Hallock, VP of marketing at Intel, has admitted the company made “self-inflicted wounds” at launch. A detailed audit will take place as to why the launch went badly, and fixes are coming. Intel plans to conduct a full audit and present an itemised list of Arrow Lake problems. AMD’s Ryzen 9800X3D has also been released, giving Intel desktop CPUs even more competition. Intel's continued blunders with its desktop processors are causing uncertainty and a loss of confidence among users.
- Intel's self-inflicted wounds with its Core Ultra 200S launch has caused concern among PC users. Intel has admitted its performance for Arrow Lake CPUs was underpar compared to prerelease expectations. Despite the newborn Rage Lake is considerably more effective than its predecessor, AnandTech has observed a select few games where the Core Ultra CPUs were outclassed by AMD’s chips.
- Intel has said that fixes for the issues are coming. Robert Hallock, VP of marketing at Intel, has promised significant performance gains. Additionally, Intel is planning to conduct a full audit and present an itemised list of Arrow Lake problems, so users can understand every glitch, its performance cost and how it will be fixed.
- The continued uncertainty around Intel’s desktop processors is causing users to lose confidence in the company. Intel has had problems with its 13th and 14th gen CPUs manufacturing instability. With the launch of its 15th gen CPU, there are reportedly some new problems at launch. Despite Intel’s promises to fix Arrow Lake CPUs, its desktop processors may not be inspiring confidence in the PC community.
- Intel is facing increasing problems in the marketplace with the perception of the company stumbling from one issue to another. The perception is affecting trust amongst the computing public. Lunar Lake, Intel's laptop chip, has landed as a major success, but it won't eliminate concerns about Intel's desktop CPUs.
- Robert Hallock has recognised Intel's bad luck with Arrow Lake CPUs, promising significant performance gains will come with the fixes they have planned.
- Intel plans to conduct a full audit on Arrow Lake CPUs to help regain trust and restore faith with the computing public. The company will present an itemised list of Arrow Lake problems, to explain everything that has gone wrong, the performance cost of glitches and how it will address these issues. The progress reports will provide clarification on what Intel is doing to restore trust in its desktop processors.
- Despite Intel promises to fix Arrow Lake CPUs, Lunar Lake seems to be the company's biggest success. It has gained acceptance by being more efficient, which is Intel's hopes as they push forward for efficiency rather than generational performance leaps.
- Intel needs to create an effective response that will increase confidence in its desktop CPUs. While the 15th-gen CPUs are experiencing some initial issues, it has promised significant performance gains through their fixes. A full, transparent audit on Arrow Lake will address and hopefully fix the issues with Intel’s desktop processors.
- Lastly, Arrow Lake’s issues are compounded by the release of AMD’s Ryzen 9800X3D gaming chip, which presents even more competition for Intel’s CPUs. Still, Hop Hardware found tweaking the Core Ultra 9 285K flagship did witness impressive results in some games with memory tuning and Windows configuration adjustments.
