After years of using the same fundamental layout of processing cores in its desktop CPUs, it looks like Intel will mix things up a little with its forthcoming Arrow Lake architecture. Instead of two rows of main, or Performance-cores, followed by several banks of Efficient-cores in recent designs, Arrow Lake might switch to a repeated sequence of blocks, containing four P-cores and two banks of four E-cores. And it could all be down to the use of rentable units.
By having a single block of four P-cores and eight E-cores, Intel could have designed Arrow Lake such that each block has its own RU, creating something relatively easy to scale. The lowest tier models would have one or two blocks, with some cores disabled, whereas the highest spec processors could sport four or more blocks.
as well so a 15th Gen Core processor with eight P-cores and 16 E-cores, would only be a 24-thread chip. That's quite a drop from the 32 supported by the Core i9 14900K so I can't see Intel doing this for the high-end Arrow Lake desktop CPUs. But all of it is true and Intel has worked on improving how its P- and E-cores are utilised, then the changes will be very welcome, especially given how much Intel has improved its efficiency cores for Lunar Lake.
