Senior Intel Engineer Explains the Radical Shift in CPU Design

When Intel launched Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) in 2024 we gave you the technical details and followed up with a review of the Asus Zenbook S 14 which has incredible battery life. In the following month we discussed Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) and how we considered it was unfit for review in a situation that was not resolved until February 2025. On the one hand we have Lunar Lake which we like, while on the other hand we have Arrow Lake which is troubled, yet both families of processors run on Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores and have a huge amount in common.

  1. Amazing power supply, sadly backed up with an amazing price !

  2. Delta rock, very few of their OEM designs out there now, due to the price. Apple use them a lot – which will annoy a lot of the PC guys out there 😉

  3. Interested in the 850W model, but these are very expensive. People underestimate the importance of a good power supply. my last failed, taking out motherboards. Taught me an expensive lesson

  4. Got this beast for my rig a week back fully modular and performance as expected, using this for sli for 2 X 970 GTX and GTA5 runs buttery smooth at full FPS fully satisfying result. the price i got was the best check yourself out flipkat was @ 20k, snapdeal @ 21k, i got it in 18k from respawn,
