Intel Arrow Lake CPUs just received a huge unexpected boost to performance, but it's not yet the patch we've all been waiting for.

Intel Arrow Lake has struggled to compete against some of the best processors from both AMD and Intel, but improvements are on the way, and a completely unexpected update just gave the CPUs a major boost. Unfortunately, there’s a caveat: That boost only applies to one game.

Recommended Videos A 33% improvement is huge. According to CDProjektRed, the boost stems from optimizations made to the threading system, and Wccftech elaborates that this is related to the game’s ability to prioritize Intel’s P-cores in order to improve performance. This makes me wonder whether we might see an improvement on older Intel CPUs that also run P-cores, though, but that remains to be seen once reviewers benchmark the CPU with the new update.
