An Intel roadmap has just been leaked, which revealed some interesting information regarding its upcoming chip lineup. Apparently, the company is working on a energy efficient processors that will likely rival Apple‘s ARM based M1 chipsets.

Intel

According to AdoredTV (Via 9To5Mac), a leaked major roadmap for Team Blue has hinted at the Intel 15th Gen CPUs that will reportedly be called “Arrow Lake”. This roadmap also showcases how the chipmaking giant wants to surpass the Cupertino based company. The brand plans to place a larger focus on its upcoming mobile processor lineup over its more powerful desktop chips. These are expected to have an emphasis on energy efficiency while still offering improved performance.

For this, Intel will be collaborating with the world’s largest contract chipmaker, TSMC. It will reportedly combine its resources for the latter’s advanced 3nm process node technology. Notably, TSMC is also the primary chip supplier for Apple and its custom Silicon. Furthermore, the new Arrow Lake processors are expected to arrive with multiple cores for that are dedicated for performance and efficiency. In other words, similar to mobile chip architecture, future notebooks may be able to perform lighter tasks with a lower power draw.

Apple M1

While this means that Intel is taking Apple more seriously as a competitor, it seems like it is still a few steps behind the iPhone maker right now. This roadmap is showcases a 2023 launch, but, Apple already has three variants of its M1 available in the market at the moment. Additionally, the brand is also working on the next generation successors for these chips. So, Intel’s new chip could essentially still be catching up to future Apple Silicon as well. Keep in mind that this is just our speculations, so take it with a pinch of salt.
