In brief: New leaks have revealed that Intel's 15th-gen Arrow Lake chips show promising improvements in CPU performance over their 13th-gen counterparts. There's also an expected uplift in iGPU performance of over 200% in 3DMark when compared to the current Core i9-13900K flagship.
What just happened? A whistleblower has leaked files from a Moscow-based defense contractor that allegedly show how the company works with Russian military and intelligence agencies to support them in hacking operations, training operatives, spreading disinformation, and scanning the internet for vulnerabilities.
Forward-looking: Performance information continues to flow as we close in on Intel and AMD's next-generation release dates. Both platforms are expected to significantly improve clock speed and instructions per cycle (IPC) over their predecessors. PassMark's latest single thread CPU benchmark seems to support those expectations, with Intel's 13900K sitting at the top of the charts.
