Intel’s Meteor Lake chips will be the company’s first processors with an integrated neural processing unit for hardware-accelerated AI features. They’ll also be the first manufactured using the company’s new Intel 4 process (which is, somewhat confusingly, a 7nm process). And they’ll be the first chips to sport Intel’s new naming convention. When the new […]

Intel Alder Lake mobile details leaked: Laptop chips with 14 cores, 20 threads
Intel’s first foray into hybrid processors that combine different types of CPU cores in a single chip wasn’t all that exciting due to lackluster performance and a focus on efficiency for thin, light, and fanless computers. But it looks like the next Hybrid chip could pack a lot more horsepower. The company’s upcoming Alder Lake chips […]
Intel Alder Lake mobile chip lineup leaked (up to 16 cores with big+small designs)
Intel’s first 12th-gen Core processors for mobile devices are expected to hit the streets later this year. Based on the company’s new Alder Lake designs, the chips will be different from most previous-gen Core processors in that they’ll combine “big” and “small” CPU cores on a single chip. A leaked product slide from earlier this […]
Intel’s unpopular Lakefield chips reach end of life a year after launch
Later this year Intel plans to launch its first Alder Lake mobile processors designed to combine two different CPU architectures on a single chip. The idea is to deliver up to a 14-core processor that features a mix of high-performance and energy-efficient CPU cores. But Alder Lake-P chips won’t be the first processors from Intel […]
Lilbits 7-02-2020: Diving into Lakefield
Intel’s new Lakefield processors represent a big step for the chip maker. Like ARM’s big.LITTLE technology, these chips combine two different types of CPU core into a single package, although Intel accomplishes this in a different way thanks to its new Foveros 3D chip stacking technology. The company has been talking about Foveros and Lakefield […]
Intel launches Lakefield hybrid chips for thin and light computers
Intel’s new Lakefield processors are the company’s first hybrid processors that combine higher-performance Intel Core CPU cores with energy-efficient Atom cores. They’re basically Intel’s answer to ARM’s big.LITTLE designs. But Intel goes about things in a somewhat different way by using its new Foveros 3D packaging technology to create a single chip featuring multiple CPU architectures. […]
Samsung Galaxy Book S with Intel Lakefield is official
Samsung has introduced a new version of its Galaxy Book S laptop, and there are two interesting things about the laptop. First, it’s the first computer powered by an Intel Lakefield processor. And second, this is actually the second version of the Galaxy Book S. The original version launched earlier this year as a 4G […]
Rumor: Intel “Alder Lake-S” could be a 16-core desktop processor (with big.LITTLE-like design)
Intel’s Foveros technology allows the chip maker to deliver processors featuring CPU cores spanning multiple architectures. This allows, for example, a set of low-power, energy-efficient CPU cores to be combined with a set of power-hungry, higher-performance cores. So far Intel has only unveiled one product that uses this design — the upcoming Intel Lakefield processor […]
Intel: At least 3 PCs with Lakefield chips coming this year
Intel’s new “Lakefield” processors is the first chip manufactured using the company’s Foveros 3D technology. The company says that means that rather than laying out the components on a flat, pancake-like surface, Lakefield chips are more like a cake with multiple layers… if that cake measured just 12mm x 12mm x 1mm. The design allows […]
Intel unveils “Sunny Cove” CPU architecture for next-gen chips
Intel is outlining a few big changes coming to its chips next year. First up is the new “Sunny Cove” architecture that’ll be used to produce next-gen Xeon (server) and Core (laptop and desktop) processors in late 2019. The chip maker says we can expect higher caches, reduced latency, higher throughput, and support for performing […]
