Intel has provided performance patches for its Arrow Lake CPUs, which are said to address the majority of the concerns noted by the chipmaker. The Intel Core Ultra 200S processors, which were released in October, were criticized because benchmark test results did not match the company's claims when the chips were first announced. After analyzing the problem, Intel claims that it discovered five flaws that might have caused the performance issues, the majority of which can be fixed by installing the freshly available patches.
Intel resolves four out of five issues affecting Arrow Lake CPUs
Intel reveals in a blog post that it has found five issues affecting the performance of its Core Ultra 200S processors, which were introduced in October. The chipmaker has uncovered the fundamental cause of these performance difficulties and is already releasing software fixes to address four of the five reported faults.
According to the chipmaker, their firmware for the Arrow Lake CPUs lacked a Performance & Power Management (PPM) package, and the Application Performance Optimizer (APO), which allows for real-time thread scheduling optimization, did not function. Both of these vulnerabilities have been addressed in Windows 11 build 26100.2161, which is part of the KB5044384 upgrade.
Meanwhile, Intel reports that Epic Games is releasing an upgraded Easy Anti-Cheat driver that resolves the blue screen of death (BSOD) issue that affected the new Core Ultra 200S CPUs when a game using the Easy Anti-Cheat service was opened.
The most recent BIOS upgrades for Intel Z890-based motherboards will also address another issue that afflicted reviewers' PCs: several performance parameters were wrong. Intel claims that BIOS upgrades will now use the best settings for improved performance.
Fix for the fifth performance issue is expected to be out in January
The fifth problem identified by Intel is linked to optimizations that were not ready for release when the previous four solutions were published. These optimizations are part of a new firmware image that Intel is presently testing, and the chipmaker expects BIOS images for impacted motherboards to be ready in the first half of January 2025.
At CES 2025, Intel will also present a complete issue-by-issue A/B study, as well as information on the performance of its chipsets. With the four updates now available to consumers, the business claims to have restored "complete and intended functionality" to its chipsets.
