The focus on lower power consumption is a step in the right direction for Intel, but this feels like a dejavu when you compared this with the launch of Alder Lake. Alder Lake started off fairly efficient as a new CPU design, and by the next gen, the power consumption went wild. While Alder Lake sees an overall improvement in performance as compared to Comet Lake and even Tiger Lake (on the mobile form), Arrow Lake sees performance regression or parity in a number of tests/ workload. So I do think the results are disappointing. Not to mention, you need fast DDR5 to get the most out of Arrow Lake CPUs, which actually increases the cost since anything above DDR5 6000 or 6400 will get more expensive.

Do you happen to have more data with 24h2? Currently it seems broken on all Intel chips (alderlake, raptorlake and apparently with what you just posted core ultra). Win 10 is > 10% faster than win 11 24h2 - not in all games to be fair. Is it the same case with zen 5?
