Intel's Arrow Lake-H chips leverage effiecient architectures from Lunar Lake to deliver performance and battery life that is worthy of the best laptops in the market.
Intel continues to use Lion Cove and Skymont core architectures which Arrow Lake-H shares with Lunar Lake but gets a larger core count, higher power budget, and beefier integrated graphics based on Intel’s Battlemage architecture.
The base power is 45W, but Intel allows the chip to boost up to 115W for short periods of time. The core split is interesting, too.
Intel is still coming out on top in apps generally favouring a thread advantage, probably due to its lead in single-core speed.
Intel is providing a slight edge in Photoshop and there is a massive boost in Premiere.
I got nearly 21 hours of battery life out of the MSI Prestige 16, which is the kind of efficiency Intel is offering here.
Intel's battery life holds up equally as well as its performance, which is impressive in light of the larger power budget.
Arrow Lake-H feels like everything coming together, and for a company that’s been promising that everything will come together soon for years, that’s a big win.
These new processors will be available in laptops towards the end of this year.
Intel’s approach in Arrow Lake-H proves its form over force mentality in the technology world.
