After the launch of the Core Ultra 200V CPUs (also known as Moon Lake Earlier this month, Intel is expected to launch the next generation of desktop CPUs – the Arrow Lake series. For a few months now, there has been speculation about Intel’s upcoming 15th generation processors. We have seen Specifications and benchmarks of online leaks and even price leaks of a Canadian retailer.
Furthermore, according to the latest reports from Bank lifeIt seems that upcoming CPUs might have more secure default power settings. The report says that the Intel Z890 chip-based motherboard will have a main “Intel Default Profile,” which is apparently the reference power setting. Motherboard manufacturers will be able to add other settings on their own. This means that users will be able to choose between the default profile and an “Extreme Profile.”
Intel does not want a repeat of the stability problems of the 13th and 14th generations
Considering that some of the 13th and 14th generation Intel processors are plagued with instability problemsIt makes sense that the company is cautious with newer CPUs. The company is still addressing the issue with microcode fixesextended warranties and Even replacements and refunds.
In fact, last week, Intel issued Another statement on the problem of instabilityIn it, the company clarified that the newly launched Core Ultra 200V (Lunar Lake) CPUs, as well as any future processors, will not be affected by the “Vmin Shift” issue.
If this speculation about Intel's default profile is true, manufacturers may have less freedom to tweak the settings. This may limit performance as we may not be able to run the CPUs at very high settings. However, it will also prevent CPU crashes due to an overloaded CPU.
By prioritizing stability from the start, Intel could show a renewed focus on stability and regain customer trust. Additionally, the ability to switch between default and extreme profiles will give users flexibility, making the CPUs suitable for both casual and enthusiast users. Also, considering recent issues, a default power mode could prevent instability under certain overclocking conditions.
In case you missed it, Intel is rumored to be preparing to launch the Arrow Lake CPUs (15th Gen processors) in October. In fact, according to some reports, Intel had originally planned to launch these processors on October 17, but has not yet delayed the launch to October 24.
Furthermore, there is speculation that Intel will launch five processors next month, and motherboards with Intel Z890 chips will be available for purchase before (at least) CES 2025, which is usually held in January of each year.
