Intel Ice Lake processors (CPUs) just came out, but we're already seeing leaks about Tiger Lake, the next 10-nanometer (nm) processors that will fill a laptop near you.
Now, there is not much detail in this tweet leaked by InstLatX64, but what is there seems incredibly solid. It's a 4-core, 8-thread processor clocked at 3.4 GHz. The big leap over Ice Lake, however, will be the 12MB of L3 cache.
# Intel TigerLake-U (Willow Cove, Gen12 GPU) 860C0 log boot CPU: https: //t.co/CS6hfAvJZE4c/8t, 1000-> 3400MHz, 12MB L3, all AVX512 *
For comparison, Ice Lake's top-end Intel Core i7-1068G7 processor has just 8MB of L3 cache. So this mysterious processor, if real, will have an additional 1MB cache per core compared to its XNUMXth-gen predecessor. Buildup of cache in the cache should result in much faster performance and might even make Tiger Lake-equipped Ultrabooks viable for gaming, but we don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves.
Speaking of gaming, the leak also indicates that this Tiger Lake-U processor will be equipped with a Generation 12 GPU. This is not surprising, but in view of the significant improvements in Intel Gen 11 graphics cards compared to previous generations, we can't wait to see what you can do.
We're still struggling to get out of this processor that really sees the light of day, if you really do, then you should take all of that with a big grain of salt. However, Intel has come a long way in iterating and tweaking its 14nm Skylake architecture, so it will be interesting to see where Team Blue is going with its 10nm process - it's just getting started.
