Intel announces the roadmap of processor products in the next few years
Intel unveiled roadmaps for various processor products at its 2022 investor conference recently, naturally, it also includes the next plans for consumer-grade processors, and Intel also demonstrated the Raptor Lake processors scheduled to be released this year. As in the previous news, this processor has 8 P-Cores and 16 E-Cores, doubling the number of E-Cores compared to the current Alder Lake processors.
Raptor Lake still uses the Intel 7 process, but will have better product capabilities and will be compatible with the existing LGA 1700 platform. The expansion capability should be the same as the current Alder Lake. The P-Core architecture will be upgraded to Raptor Cove, while the E-Core architecture will remain the same as Gracemont, and the GPU will also maintain the existing Xe architecture. It is expected to launch in the second half of this year.
Next is Meteor Lake in 2023 and Arrow Lake in 2024. These processors will all be packaged in 3D Foveros, and the computing core of Meteor lake will use Intel 4 process, which is also Intel’s first production process using EUV lithography technology. The GPU module uses the TSMC N3 process, and the SoC-LP module responsible for I/O uses the existing more mature process.
Arrow Lake’s computing core will use the more advanced Intel 20A process, more tiles may be added, and the GPU and SoC-LP modules may remain unchanged. Next is Lunar lake, which will use the Intel 18A process, and nothing else will be said.
