Intel’s third generation of processors with its own – nanometer technology is expected in appear: Alder Lake. Samples are currently being sent to partners, as Intel boss Bob Swan revealed in the analyst conference on the latest business figures. Intel plans to distribute pre-production models of the server processor Sapphire Rapids by the end of the year – Sapphire Rapids-SP follows Ice Lake-SP.

According to previous leaks, Alder Lake appears for both notebooks and desktop PCs. The latter get the 11. Core generation Rocket Lake-S, which Intel inserts with another 12 – nm infusion, but apparently only has a low priority. In the analyst conference (webcast, transcript at Seekingalpha ), Intel managers do not mention Rocket Lake-S with a syllable.

The release plans appear mixed up: In spring 2021 stands for notebooks Tiger Lake-H (45 – Watt class, 10 nm) with eight CPU cores on; for desktop PCs said Rocket Lake S generation. Their lifespan should be comparatively short if the first Alder Lakes are to appear by the end of the year. In the 12. Core generation combines Intel’s large cove cores with economical atom cores for hybrid operation, analogous to big-little ones in smartphones and tablets.

TSMC too after 2022 an option from 2023 Intel wants to return to a more predictable cadence of ideas, but does not rule out the use of third-party manufacturing processes. Due to delays in its own roadmap, Intel is ceasing 2021 to produce large projects at TSMC, including parts of the server multi-chip GPU Ponte Vecchio.

Beginning 2020 Intel decides which production technology for the 2023 er and 2024 er products should be used: ” probably a mix to make sure we 2023 and 2024 have a predictable cadence of leadership products like us believe they 2020, 2021 and 2022, “said Swan.

” Leadership products “sound very optimistic due to AMD’s strong competition
