Acer has unveiled the world’s first gaming PC based on Intel’s new generation Arrow Lake-S processors. The system is called Predator Orion 7000. Intel will probably also mention this gaming build next month when it introduces its new Arrow Lake-S chips, but Acer couldn’t resist announcing the PC earlier.

The manufacturer’s press release does not indicate that we are talking specifically about Arrow Lake-S processors, but there are no other “new generation Intel processors” in the desktop segment this year. At the same time, mention of Arrow Lake is found in the description of the computer in Acer advertising materials.
Acer also indicates that this will be the first desktop platform to offer an integrated NPU. Thus, Arrow Lake-S, following the mobile Meteor Lake and Lunar Lake, will also receive a built-in AI accelerator.
The Predator Orion 7000 is equipped with a Cyclone X 360 suit LSS. The PC will be able to offer the flagship GeForce RTX 4090 video card, up to 128 GB of RAM, a hard drive of up to 4 TB and an NVMe drive of up to 6 TB.
One of the unique features of this PC is a hot-swappable NVMe drive slot without the need to remove the side cover of the case.
The manufacturer did not announce the cost and date of availability of the Predator Orion 7000. But this will not happen until mid-October, when the official launch of Arrow Lake-S processors is expected.
