I was expecting Intel to have better efficiency with a slight hit to performance. The efficiency, while better, still isn't great. The performance is a disaster. Seeing Arrow Lake lose to Zen 3 and Alder Lake in some of the tests is insane. Not previous gen architectures, chips from two gens ago. Arrow Lake wasn't ready to launch. I thought Zen 5 was bad in that regard but reviewers getting BSOD while doing fresh Windows installs for Arrow Lake... Damn!
