What is “RaptorLake-Refresh”? It is the “next-generation” (14th gen) Core architecture, refreshing the current “RaptorLake” (13th gen) and thus the 4th generation “hybrid” (aka “big.LITTLE”) arch that Intel has released. As before, it combines big/P(erformant) “Core” cores with LITTLE/E(fficient) “Atom” cores in a single package and covers everything from desktops, … Read more…
What is “AlderLake”? It is the “next-generation” (12th) Core architecture – replacing the short-lived “RocketLake” (RKL) that finally replaced the many, many “Skylake” (SKL) derivative architectures (6th-10th). It is the 1st mainstream “hybrid” arch – i.e. combining big/P(erformant) “Core” cores with LITTLE/E(fficient) “Atom” cores in a single package. While in … Read more…
What is “RocketLake”? It is the desktop/workstation version of the true “next generation” Core (gen 10+) architecture – finally replacing the ageing “Skylake (SKL)” arch and its many derivatives that are still with us (“CometLake (CML)”, etc.). It is a combination of the “IceLake (ICL)” CPU cores launched about a … Read more…
What is “TigerLake”? It is 3rd update of the “next generation” Core (gen 11) architecture (TGL/TigerLake) from Intel the one that replaced the ageing “Skylake (SKL)” arch and its many derivatives that are still with us (“CometLake (CML)”, etc.). It is the optimisation of the “IceLake (ICL)” arch and thus … Read more…
What is “IceLake”? It is the “real” 10th generation Core arch(itecture) (ICL/”IceLake”) from Intel – the brand new core to replace the ageing “Skylake” (SKL) arch and its many derivatives; due to delays it actually debuts shortly after the latest update (“CometLake” (CLM)) that is also called 10th generation. Firstly … Read more…
What is “CometLake”? It is one of the 10th generation Core arch (CML) from Intel – the latest revision of the venerable (6th gen!) “Skylake” (SKL) arch; it succeeds the “WhiskyLake”/”CofeeLake” 8/9-gen current architectures for mobile (ULV U/Y) devices. The “real” 10th generation Core arch is “IceLake” (ICL) that does … Read more…
