It's 2026, CES is over, and there's still no sign of Intel's Arrow Lake refresh, but one hardware channel is adamant it'll be here in the spring

After a rough few years, Intel has clearly been hoping for better times, and it's fair to say that the official launch of Panther Lake at CES 2026 was a major step in the right direction. However, while all the attention was focused on the new mobile chips, the distinct lack of anything about an Arrow Lake refresh has cast doubt over whether it will actually happen or not. One hardware channel, though, is claiming that it definitely will.

That's according to Golden Pig Upgrade on Weibo, as reported by Videocardz, which says that the launch of the Core Ultra 200 Plus range (the rumoured name for the Arrow Lake refresh chips) will arrive in either March or April (via machine translation).
