I've heard about oxidation issues with Intel silicon, especially for their processors up to the 14th generation. I'm curious if these problems extend to the Arrow Lake desktop processors as well. Does anyone have firsthand experience with these or know about other stability issues related to Arrow Lake? I'm considering a Nova Lake processor purchase next year, but if Arrow Lake has problems, I might skip Nova Lake, as Intel tends to take several generations to resolve hardware issues based on past events, like with Spectre and Meltdown.

The Core Ultra series seems to be okay and has resolved most scheduling issues. However, honestly, I'd suggest looking into AMD alternatives right now. They're offering better performance and efficiency overall, regardless of whether you're gaming or not.
I hear you, but I have a Core Ultra, and while it might not be the best performer in games, it keeps my system cooler compared to my brother’s AMD setup. I think it really depends on your multitasking needs!
