Intel has encountered many discomforts in the process technology in the past two years. The 10nm process is still limited to low-power mobile platforms. The performance is significantly different from 14nm. Especially when it is landed on the desktop, it is very frustrating.

    In fact, the Intel 10nm product line is still quite rich, and is being rolled out one after another. In addition to Ice Lake for the low-power mobile field, there are next-generation server Xeon Ice Lake, the first Xe architecture discrete graphics card DG1, 5G wireless base station Snow Ridge will be listed this year.

    There were rumors that Intel would skip 10nm on the desktop and continue to cross from 7nm to 7nm after a period of time, but Intel publicly denied this, emphasizing that 10nm desktop products are still on the roadmap.

    Who is it? At the media conference on the afternoon of April 9, Intel announced the identity of the first 10nm desktop processor for the first time, code-named "Jasper Lake", which focuses on the field of low power consumption and will be released this year!

    However, it should be noted that Jasper Lake does not belong to the high-performance Core family, but is based on the low-power design of the Atom Atom architecture. It is generally classified into Pentium and Celeron sequences, and it is a desktop and mobile take-all. Celeron J series, mobile terminal is Pentium N, Celeron N series.

    Jasper Lake will replace the existing Gemini Lake series. Other specifications are temporarily unknown except for the 10nm process. It is speculated that a new Tremont CPU architecture may be introduced. The same-frequency performance can be improved by more than 30% now, and a third-level cache is added. And vector unit execution efficiency, while integrating 11th generation nuclear display.

    In the future, Intel will have new Gracemont and Nextmont CPU architectures in the field of low power consumption.

    Speaking of process technology, Intel also announced more information today. The yield and production capacity of 10nm are greatly improved. This year's 10nm + upgrade version, next year there will be a 10nm ++ in-depth optimized version.

    7nm will be launched in 2021, no accident is The Xe architecture high-performance computing GPU code-named" Ponte Vecchio ", which has been officially announced before, integrates multiple chips through next-generation packaging technology, and is also the first GPU for Intel for 10 billion calculations It will be equipped with the Aurora tens of billions of secondary supercomputers of the Argonne National Laboratory under the US Department of Energy.

    Intel also revealed that 7nm will be upgraded to 7nm + in 2022 and provide a complete product portfolio, suggesting that processors and more chips will also be launched at 7nm, and will be further upgraded to 7nm ++ in 2023.

    Intel emphasized that it will unswervingly advance Moore's Law, and the process technology will also return to the two-year update cycle, which means that Intel will see 5nm in 2023!
