There were a variety of reasons for this, but the transition from monolithic to tiled processors was probably going to be painful either way considering the essentially world-beating performance of the Core i9-14900KS. There's been a lot of talk about Intel's upcoming Nova Lake processors recently, but the next big CPU release from Team Blue is in fact likely to be a refresh of Arrow Lake.

We've heard a fair bit about this refresh already, but not much of interest until now. ZDNet Korea confirms earlier reports that Arrow Lake Refresh (ALR) will use the same LGA 1851 CPU socket as the extant Core Ultra desktop CPUs, and also says that the chips will "slightly ...
