Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake-H processors for higher-end notebooks appear set to bring a new level of complexity to their hybrid core architecture. According to an Intel Linux patch noticed by Phoronix, these processors will include not only Lion Cove high-performance cores (P-cores) but also a mix of two types of efficiency cores (E-cores): the next-generation Skymont cores and the current-generation Crestmont cores.
The Arrow Lake-H series was initially reported to consist solely of Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores, and its possible that the integration of a third core type could only apply to certain models in the Arrow Lake-H stack — it isn't unheard of for Intel to carry lower-end prior-gen processors into its newer generations of processors.
