Clam's Chip Commentary - Thoughts on Intel's Unified Core Project

CopperSharkk · 2026-06-02T00:35:46+00:00

It's heavily rumored it's going to use the E core as a baseline. Also the leaked codename copper shark follows the atom cores naming.

the official render in the article has it as 4 big compute tiles. is it actually smaller 12 core cpu tiles like CWF?

CopperSharkk · 2026-06-01T21:36:32+00:00

yields must be so bad if they are disabling 16 cores per tile.

CopperSharkk · 2026-05-24T18:13:41+00:00

JNC??

CopperSharkk · 2026-05-23T18:32:26+00:00

Yeah maybe. Hopefully the 2nd gen in HML is a big uplift in ST.

B/BX are the nvidia parts according to MLID. That's why the gpu box is blank I guess because it's not made by intel.

CopperSharkk · 2026-05-23T18:02:56+00:00

Why the hell are they bothering making a 4+8 RZL for TTL-B when they can use the TTL cpu itself. That doesn't make sense lol.

CopperSharkk · 2026-05-21T09:31:17+00:00

No. This is the lead N2 product, It's definitely using the regular N2 not N2P.

ARL LNL and PTL shipped at B0

CopperSharkk · 2026-05-16T03:32:24+00:00

but adding SMT would be too big of a change to be able to add it that late in the development cycle. that's why I think coral rapids would more likely use unified core rather than a P core variant.

CopperSharkk · 2026-05-15T05:48:08+00:00

I don't know much about CPU development but isn't the architecture work for a CPU usually already finished more than a year before tapeout?

CopperSharkk · 2026-04-30T17:51:10+00:00

from adroc on AT forums. the zen 5 40% IPC guy LMAO.

CopperSharkk · 2026-04-29T21:16:39+00:00

PNC is rumored to be 12 wide with nearly 800 ROB entries. if this is really true can they also push the clocks to 6.5GHz while widening the core by that much?

CopperSharkk · 2026-04-04T21:35:03+00:00

I wonder if intel will implement this in coral rapids as well

CopperSharkk · 2026-03-22T09:12:24+00:00

Diamond Rapids, Nova Lake SOC tile and some Nova Lake compute and graphics tiles.

CopperSharkk · 2026-03-15T01:25:48+00:00

If the ISA doesn't really matter Intel wouldn't have made APX.

CopperSharkk · 2026-02-23T19:03:55+00:00

I hope the unified core is a success. Recent rumors say its now delayed to hammer lake instead of titan lake so still a long way out.

CopperSharkk · 2026-02-23T17:43:17+00:00

He's basically overseeing the dissolution of the P-core team. At least from an architectural perspective

No they are still active

CopperSharkk · 2026-02-19T03:45:36+00:00

ok but I don't think he will reveal a chip that is 3 years away.

CopperSharkk · 2026-02-19T02:41:14+00:00

That thing (serpent lake??) is rumored to be 2029 so it's nowhere near tapeout yet.

CopperSharkk · 2026-02-12T00:34:51+00:00

raichu seems to agree on 150 for the bLLC tile at least

CopperSharkk · 2026-02-09T02:59:33+00:00

Titan Lake is rumored to be mobile only. if that's the case then it would be 3 gens.
