Intel's Power Problem Is ALMOST FIXED for Arrow Lake!

In the last several years, intel has kind of taken the crown from AMD. A total win. They’ve been innovating so much that really, there’s no competition. I mean they’re so good at this one specific thing that… Oh wait I should clarify, I’m talking about power consumption. Ever since the… I want to say 9900K? We’ve seen their flagship go over 150, 200, and even 250 watts bone stock. Heck with the extreme profile from Intel, their latest model, the 13900KS can reach up to 320 watts. Insane.

Now, of course, intel wants to fix that, and almost 2 years ago, they explained how. Essentially, right now, power and interconnect wires in their CPU dies are kind of intermingled in a single layer. And this unfortunately creates interconnect bottlenecks. Interconnects are what allow one part of the actual CPU transistors to talk to another part. The CPU transistor layer is what’s at the bottom here.

Their solution? PowerVia. Rearrange everything and make it a sandwich, kinda… So they want to take the power layer, stick it at the bottom of the transistor layer, and add the interconnect on top. By doing this, they can actually add more interconnects, thanks to the relocation of the power layer, intel achieved an increase of 22% in clock speeds and far less power leakage.
