About this product

Intel's top Arrow Lake desktop chip — 8 performance cores plus 16 efficient cores in a hybrid layout, with an NPU dedicated to AI workloads. Strong all-round performer for productivity-heavy users; gaming is competitive but generally a step behind AMD's X3D parts. LGA 1851 socket — note this is a new platform, so it requires a new motherboard. DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 throughout.

Strong for content creation

Renders are fast and the NPU is genuinely useful for some Premiere Pro AI tools. Gaming is fine but my mate's 9800X3D pulls ahead in CS and Spider-Man 2.
