It’s no secret that Nvidia practically owns the dedicated graphics card space. Both AMD and Intel continue to provide alternative paths to consumers but neither have majorly threatened this dominance. The most recent market analysis indicates this remains the case, with Team Green actually compounding its lead. According to consultancy firm Jon Peddie Research, Nvidia controls an enormous 92% of the AIB (Add In Board) GPU market, as of Q1 2025.

I’ve never held a can of LN2 (liquid nitrogen) in my hand, much less used it cool computer components in service of breaking world records.

Computex 2025 came and went without any mention of an Arrow Lake Refresh from Intel. In spite of an official word from Team Blue, rumours surrounding the prospective processor launch continue to mount. Now, yet another leak indicates that “new” CPUs from the company are en route, perhaps even imminently. X user momomo_us shared a block diagram of a Socket LGA1851 motherboard running the W880 chipset, sibling to Z890 and B860, which contains an explicit reference to ‘Arrow Lake S Refresh’.
