Benchmarks performed on the Snapdragon X Elite dev kit show that having a lot more power doesn't always mean having a lot more speed.

Intel announced its Arrow Lake desktop chips — the Core Ultra 200S series — with significant reductions in power consumption but also underwhelming performance.

Intel is announcing three new CPUs: the Core Ultra 285K, Core Ultra 265K/KF, and the 245K/KF. You can see all the specs below, but the big new feature with Arrow Lake is a focus on efficiency. The company appears to have designed Arrow Lake to rid itself of the reputation it's garnered over the years for CPUs that run hot and require a lot of power.
