Less than a week before Intel's Core Ultra 200S (codenamed Arrow Lake) series debut, someone has already delidded one of Intel's new Arrow Lake desktop chips. Twitch streamer and enthusiast Madeness727 shared images on X of an Arrow Lake-S CPU they delidded, revealing fundamental architectural changes Intel made to its latest chips.
Madeness727's die shots represent the first die shots we have seen of Arrow Lake-S, and they are also high-resolution photos featuring great detail. The shots of Arrow Lake with the IHS physically removed showcase the most distinctive design change Intel has implemented in Arrow Lake compared to its preceding architectures: adding tiles (i.e., chiplets).
