Sunny Cove processor architecture:
The new processor architecture is designed to improve per-clock computing performance and power consumption under general-purpose computing tasks and includes new features that accelerate artificial intelligence and encryption.
The new processor architecture will become the infrastructure for Intel Xeon server processors and Intel Core series desktop processors later next year.
Key features of the new architecture include an enhanced microarchitecture that can perform more operations in parallel, increase critical buffers, and cache size to optimize workloads.
Contains new technology algorithms that reduce latency, architectural extensions for specific use cases and algorithms such as improved encryption performance and compression and decompression use cases.
The new processor architecture is designed to reduce latency and increase throughput, providing higher parallel computing power to improve the gaming-to-data centre experience.
Intel’s new graphics card:
Intel introduced a new 11th generation integrated graphics card with 64 enhanced execution units, which is twice as high as Intel’s 9th generation graphics card.
Equipped with so many enhanced execution units designed to break the barrier of 1 trillion floating point operations per second (1 TFLOPS), improving the overall performance of the graphics card.
Intel will begin shipping the new graphics card with the new 10nm process processor in 2019, which should be in the second half of next year.
Intel said the new graphics card architecture is designed to improve game performance while also providing 4K streaming and 8K content authoring with leading codecs.
Finally, Intel also reiterated that the company will launch a separate graphics card in 2020, and will compete with AMD and NVIDIA.
