Most discussions about "Arrow Lake vs Zen 5" tend to hyperfocus on their comparable performance without addressing the 800 LB gorilla that will be in the room this holiday season - Arrow Lake will require a new platform! How much will Z890 help, or hinder, Arrow Lake’s success?

To say that Arrow Lake has a lot riding on it for Intel's future would be quite an understatement - especially when it comes to how Intel is viewed in DIY circles. Without a doubt Arrow Lake has its work cut out for it when it comes to being competitive with Zen 5...

- What if XBOX bought Square Enix this year, and then removed SE games from PlayStation...
