On the mobile phone SoC processor, the configuration of large and small cores, large, medium, and small cores are already common. Intel is introducing this concept to the desktop and notebook fields. Lakefield with a large, small, four, and five core is just an attempt. It is expected to be available in the next year. Alder Lake 12th-generation Core will carry forward completely.
Of course, Intel will not call it big.LITTLE, but rather called “Hybrid Technology” (Hybrid Technology), which will combine various new flat and three-dimensional packaging technologies.
Earlier we have learned that Alder Lake-S series will have two combinations, one is 8+8+1, that is, 8 large cores, 8 small cores, GT1 core display, thermal design power consumption 125W Do 150W) or 80W, the second is 6+0+1, that is, 6 large cores, no small cores, GT1 core display, thermal design power consumption 80W, are new LGA1700 package interfaces.
Now, the new exposure is coming, in addition to confirming the combination of 8+8+1 and 6+0+1 of Alder Lake-S series, there are two types:
Alder Lake-P: 2+8+2, 6+8+2
Alder Lake-M: 2+8+2
It is unclear whether these two series are also the desktop version, or the mobile version or other, but it is clear that the unified are 8 small cores, GT2 core display, but the size of the large core is different.
Of course, this may not be the entire combination of Alder Lake, and other specifications are not excluded.
There are still many unsolved mysteries even in the specifications of the Rocket Lake 11th generation desktop core, not to mention the subsequent generation. The architecture that will use the large core of the CPU will be Golden Cove, and the small core is Gracemont. The core is expected to continue The 12th generation and may support DDR5 for the first time.
Interestingly, there are rumors that Alder Lake will not only have two types of CPU cores, but also two processes. The CPU part is 10nm and the GPU part is 14nm.
In the past, some great gods predicted that the 11th generation Core is two processes, but 10nm is used for the non-core part, and 14nm is used for the CPU, which is a mess.
