Intel's representative claims that a significant portion of the company's gaming performance gap is due to software issues, rather than problems with the silicon itself, with potentially up to 30% of performance being hidden by poor optimization. Reports also mention the launch of new desktop CPUs, including the Core Ultra 200S "Arrow Lake" series, although it is unclear if these new CPUs directly address the mentioned performance gap. The new CPUs are said to offer improved performance and lower power consumption compared to previous generations.
