![]() ![]() The company is thus looking to 2024/2025 for ‘unquestioned CPU leadership performance’, which traditionally means the fastest processor for single thread and multi-thread workloads. On top of this commentary, Pat Gelsinger also stated that Intel’s CPU roadmaps are already baked in through 2021, 2022, and 2023. ![]() Pat stated as part of the call that Intel will look towards a confirmed yearly process node improvement, and as a result, there might be a lot of Ticks in the future, with a push to more Tocks as well. ![]() Part of this is re-establishing discipline in Intel’s ranks to continually provide both microarchitecture updates and process node updates on a regular expected cadence. Today CEO Pat Gelsinger stated that at Intel’s core it has to re-establish the Tick-Tock model that enabled repeated leadership in the CPU ecosystem, buoyed by a healthy CPU roadmap. That policy was scuppered when delays to Intel’s 10nm forced Intel into more of a Tick-Tock-Optimization-Optimization-Optimization model. Each generation would alternate between the two, allowing Intel to take advantage of a familiar design on a new process node, or using a mature node to enable a new performance-focused design. This means that for every product generation, the leading edge compute hardware was either a Tick (process node enhancement), or a Tock (microarchitecture enhancement). In the past, through the 1990s, 2000s, and into the 2010s, Intel’s manufacturing philosophy was known as ‘Tick-Tock’. One of Gelsinger’s mantras seems to be that unquestioned leadership products bring unquestioned leadership margins for those products, and for Intel to execute, it needs to return to its days of old. This architecture is still four years away from us but early information tells us that this processor architecture will have a native eight-core design, a whole new cache architecture, "revolutionary" energy saving technologies, the FMA (Fused Multiply-Add) instruction set and possibly on-package vector coprocessors.As part of today’s announcements, during Intel’s Q&A session after the prepared remarks, CEO Pat Gelsinger explained how Intel is going to revive its fortunes when it comes to its leading edge compute products. This 22nm architecture is expected to replace the Sandy Bridge architecture in 2012. Little is known about this chip expect that it should arrive in 2011. According to Intel the introduction of AVX will enhance the performance of certain matrix multiplication instructions by 90 percent.Ī 22nm shrink of Sandy Bridge. Also new is the addition of Instruction AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions) which might be as significant as the introduction of SSE in 1999. Sandy Bridge (formerly also known as Gesher) will have up to eight cores on the same die, 512KB L2 cache and 16MB 元 cache. This 32nm architecture will succeed the 45nm Nehalem architecture in 2010. In 2011 you can expect the 22nm Ivy Bridge and one year later you can expect the new 22nm Haswell architecture. Most of you will probably already have heard about these upcoming processors but what's new here is the information about Intel's future 22nm processors. Currently Intel is introducing the 45nm Nehalem "tock" and in 2009 you can expect a 32nm shrink of Nehalem codenamed Westmere.Ī new architecture will arrive in 2010, that tock will introduce the 32nm Sandy Bridge. Each tock is the introduction of a new architecture while each tick is the introduction of a smaller production process. One of the more interesting things is a roadmap of Intel's Tick Tock development model until 2012. French computer site Canard PC published a bunch of information about Intel's plans for the future. ![]()
