Intel’s next-gen desktop CPUs may run even hotter than current ones — chipmaker allegedly extends maximum temperature for Arrow Lake CPUs

12th Gen Alder Lake.

Intel has reportedly increased the maximum thermal junction (TJMax) temperature for its upcoming codenamed Arrow Lake and Panther Lake processors to 105 degrees Celsius, according to a leak by Jaykihn. Jaykihn is a blogger who seems to have access to samples of Intel's upcoming processors and not-yet-released documents.

Typically, Intel's processors feature a maximum thermal junction temperature of 100 degrees Celsius, which is the case with Alder Lake and Raptor Lake CPUs and will reportedly be the case with the next-generation Lunar Lake processors. However, the TJMax of Intel's Core Ultra (codenamed Meteor Lake) processors is set at 105 or 110 degrees Celsius depending on the version, and the company's upcoming Arrow Lake and Panther Lake CPUs will seemingly have the same maximum thermal junction temperature.
