Intel Arrow Lake-H spotted with 14 cores
Intel is currently sending pre-qualification samples of Arrow Lake mobile chips to its global centers. The company is on the verge of unveiling its Meteor Lake architecture next month, and Arrow Lake is projected to follow suit in the coming year.
The sample that was spotted by @harukze5719 is said to feature the same configuration of CPU cores as the flagship Meteor Lake. This means 6 P-Cores and 8 E-Cores. The chip is listed with GT2 graphics, which is the same descriptor as for Meteor SKUs. Arrow Lake-H is a product codename that suggests we are looking at a next-generation mobile platform for gaming.
These series are targeting the 45W TDP power segment and will be offered as a replacement to 14th Gen Core-H series. Meteor Lake, on the other hand, is more of a premium product and from what we have seen so far, its primary target are lightweight laptops for content creation. Another difference is that the Meteor Lake lineup is almost entirely designed for sub 30W TDP (with the exception of Core 9 Ultra SKUs), while Arrow Lake-H would target higher power.

As previously reported, Intel Arrow Lake will feature the revised GPU architecture from Meteor Lake, which is Xe-LPG+ based on discrete Xe-HPG Alchemist for gaming purposes. However, the CPU core architecture is entirely different, relying on Lion Cove and Skymont. The Intel 20A node for the CPU tile should be included with this product.

Intel Arrow Lake should launch no sooner than next year, and it will be offered alongside Lunar Lake at some point. The latter is targeting a different market segment with premium graphics performance and low power 8-core CPU configuration, it should replace the Meteor Lake-U lineup. Arrow Lake is more a top-to-bottom offer that will be used across all types of systems, including desktops.
