Intel: Alder Lake platform unveiled with big news

In a few days, an event will take place that will talk about the future of Intel. This future will be made with Alder Lake whose first official information has leaked.

Alder Lake: a completely new architecture.

Coming straight from videocardz, the first slides with official information about Alder Lake have just been leaked

.

The slides add new information and confirm old ones. This generation will be the first real revolution of Intel in the field of desktop and mobile processors, Alder Lake being qualified as “breakthrough CPU Architecture”.

First of all, this 12th generation of Intel processors will use the Golden Cove architecture with 8 cores 16 threads and Enhanced 10 nm Superfins etching. The main promise is to get up to 20% more single core performance. On the multithreading side, the arrival of the Big. Little technology and Gracemont cores, adding 8 cores 8 threads, will allow multi-core performance up to 2 times higher (but 2x compared to whom? Rocket Lake? Tiger Lake?).

PCIE 5.0 and DDR5 will also be part of the game, with support for 16 lines in 5.0 and 4 lines in 4.0. On the memory side, we will be in dual channel DDR5 and DDR4, with frequencies up to 4800 mhz for DDR5 and 3200 mhz for DDR4. The high-end motherboards will use DDR5, while the cheaper versions will rely on DDR4. This way, motherboard manufacturers will be able to produce DDR4 versions, should the mass production of DDR5 not be available by the end of the year.
