Intel chief financial officer (CFO) David Zinsner has just confirmed that “another wave” of Intel Arrow Lake CPUs is indeed on the way, plugging the gap between the company’s current Core Ultra 200-series chips and its next-gen Nova Lake processors.

With higher clock speeds, it’s possible that Intel could start to close the gap with a new Arrow Lake refresh lineup, but it’s the forthcoming Intel Nova Lake architecture that really has the potential to change Intel’s fortunes when it comes to desktop PC gaming.
