In an exclusive interview with Hot Hardware, Intel acknowledged that its recently launched Core Ultra 200 desktop processors, codenamed "Arrow Lake," have significant performance issues. However, Intel announced that a set of fixes are being developed. As our review confirmed, the launch of these new processors fell short of both consumer expectations and Intel's own projections, particularly in gaming performance, despite showing promise in productivity, content creation, and some AI workloads. In a discussion during a recent livestream, Intel's Robert Hallock, VP and general manager of client AI and technical marketing, addressed these concerns head-on, describing the Arrow Lake launch as "disastrous" and attributing the underwhelming performance to inadequately optimized systems.
 
Robert HallockI can't go into all the details yet, but we identified a series of multifactor issues at the OS level, at the BIOS level, and I will say that the performance we saw in reviews is not what we expected and not what we intended. The launch just didn't go as planned. That has been a humbling lesson for all of us, inspiring a fairly large response internally to get to the bottom of what happened and to fix it.
 
Additionally, Hallock indicated that users can expect these updates to begin rolling out by the end of the month or shortly after that. The tech community awaits independent verification of these performance improvements, which could restore confidence in Intel's Arrow Lake platform and potentially reshape the current CPU performance hierarchy. Given that the promise is a "significant" performance uplift, we expect to see some interesting numbers as Intel's cores are performant from the microarchitectural standpoint. The mix of Windows and BIOS updates will be interesting to measure in the coming weeks. Here is the link to the video interview of the Hot Hardware crew and Robert Hallock.
 
In my personal opinion proper beta testing would have caught most of these issues prior to release.

Which is pretty strange they wouldn't think of testing for a good while or waiting for Microsoft and MB manufacturers to have the needed BIOS. You think the CPUs will do well? Oh, I'm sure they'll do just fiiiiiiine. lol. It's almost as if they didn't expect the community to do extensive testing and went purely by engineering expectations.

It's issue it no HT, they will be able to improve its performance yet due to hardware limitations it will still never be as good as a 12th-14th gen i9 thats been tuned/tamed with the proper cooling and the right ram.

 
Guessing they'll just up the voltage and increase the operating temperature... and hope the chips don't start killing themselves with voltage spikes, again.
