… The Nova Lake successor and desktop chip line may use on-package memory, according to VideoCardz. The rumor doesn't confirm the memory type e.g., LPDDR5X or bandwidth, but it does raise some interesting questions about the direction Intel is taking with its future CPU designs. …
… It's not clear whether Intel would reduce the barriers to overclocking entry by expanding the scope of unlocked CPUs and chipsets or by launching more K-series models. Either way, consider us much more excited for Intel's next couple of chip generations than we've been in years. …
… Intel does note, however, that "future" Xeons will have a dual-track roadmap of products built on both its P-cores and its E-cores. …
… We re-tested that chip, just to confirm it -- our CPU wasn't stable above 4.4GHz without massive voltage increases. The chip's effective maximum speed, in other words, was just 200MHz, or 4.5%, above its Turbo Core. …
… News of TSMC's updated roadmap comes in a report from EEtimes Opens in a new window , which discusses the company's future plans. …
… We don't know when AMD will launch 5nm CPUs, but most roadmaps have suggested we won't see volume on consumer chips until Q1-Q2 2022. …
… There's also rumors the top-tier SKU will be a 16-core, 32-thread chip with a 170W TDP . That's a lot of power for an AMD chip. …
