Intel’s new Arrow Lake CPUs came out in October promising high performance at lower power levels, but reviews, including ours, noted surprisingly lackluster gaming performance. Tom Warren said of the Core Ultra 9 285K, “...in many titles, it provides worse performance than the 14th Gen chips it was designed to replace.”

In light of such performance numbers, Intel's Vice President and General Manager, Robert Hallock, announced last month that an investigation was underway. The company hopes to restore gaming performance to its original targets and share details this month.

As if Intel didn't have enough problems this year, it's recent "Arrow Lake" processors arrived with performance issues, especially in gaming.

Speaking to The Verge, Intel spokesperson Mark Anthony Ramirez said, “We expect weekly inventory of the Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition graphics card and are working with partners to ensure a steady availability of choices in the market.

While reviewers have showed the B580 doesn’t beat the 4060 and 7600 in every game, especially for gamers who still play at 1080p resolution, it does seem to pull ahead on averag

Intel's second effort at breaking into the graphics card duopoly looks promising, but the company took its time getting here.
