If this is the case (which it seems to be), efficiency gains seem to be the highlight.

Intel's Core Ultra 9 285K Performance Claims Leaked, Doesn't Beat i9-14900K at Gaming

The Chinese tech press is abuzz with slides allegedly from Intel's pre-launch press-deck for the Core Ultra 2-series "Arrow Lake-S." The most sensational of these are Intel's first-party performance claims for the top Core Ultra 9 285K model. There's good news and bad news. Good news first—Intel...

But, its power draw was less - 70W or 80W, from what I read. But we will have to wait for the real world benchmarks.
 
The upcoming X3D models are on the horizon. I'm confident that the overclocked Ultras will outperform the 14th Gen and possibly the 9xxx RYZEN, but the new X3D models will take the top spot."

I will have to upgrade from an 8700k so lower power for same performance would be ok for people like me ;)
 
I don't think I would be investing in Intel's product lines unless I see some major changes to their price and warranty terms. I and my friends have gone through considerable gestures about it and with the no recall or solution to their 13th & 14th gen lineup was the final nail to the figurative coffin. The worst crime of all is the e-waste they generate by having to change socket size every couple of generations

not going to happen, Intel is full of uncles and aunties, who lost never upgraded their skills after COBOL and running the company.
They even get huge support from US govt, but these furniture's roots are so deep they earning in million but jinxed everything else.
Now they just want someone to buy them, so these guys can take their retirement money and enjoy.

Even if the qualcomm deal materialized, i guess the focus will be more on ARM side.

NVIDIA is going to have the monopoly in hardware, in less than 5yrs form now. as AMD is not even thinking to stay in the race. after nvidia captured almost 90% market.

Hoping to see new details about their media engine.
Improvement on hevc 4:2:2 10 bit hardware acceleration, added acceleration and av1 decode and encode would be awesome.
