Leaked Schematics of Intel’s New Arrow Lake-S Desktop Processors Show Two Direct M.2 Connection Paths with CPU for Ultra-High-Speed SSDs
Last Monday (1st), the schematics of the new processor were leaked Intel Arrow Lake-S for Desktop presented the communication paths with the processorshowing two direct paths PCI Express M.2. The new processor has 32 PCI Express lanes: 16 PCIe5 for graphics cards; 8 for the DMI 4.0 bus with Intel 800 chipset; and two M.2 lanes with 4 lanes each, one PCIe5 x4 and the other PCIe4 x4.

In general, additional slots and interfaces are integrated only into the chipset, share total bandwidth of the 8 DMI 4.0 tracks and generating performance bottlenecks depending on the number of connections in simultaneous use.
The new feature enables you to build motherboards with more versatile and faster storage solutions, such as dual slots for SSD high speed or more Thunderbolt 4 Interfaces and USB 4 Controllers with dedicated connection to the CPU.
No DDR4 and PCIe 3.0 lanes
The new processor completely abandons the DDR4 and PCIe 3.0 rails, opting only for the newest and fastest standards. This means that owners configurations up to the 14th generation that still used DDR4 you will need to update the full kit to access the 2nd Gen Intel Core Ultraremembering that the Intel retired the Intel Core branding and restarted the count from Meteor Lake.

Furthermore, the chipset will only feature Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, which are also more modernbut it keeps some SATA 6Gbps ports, to use cheaper solutions than NVMe SSDs for general storage. Of course, so many improvements should also mean an increase in the price of motherboards, in addition to the same Arrow Lake-S processor with a new architecture and the new Lion Cove and Skymont cores, which are more expensive to produce.
