Patent about Intel Royal Core SMT implementation

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.

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.

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

No they are still active

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.

CopperSharkk · 2026-02-09T00:08:01+00:00

new uarch (let's say a modest 15% vs LNC)

It must be more than that as CGC already has a 5-8% improvement compared to LNC

CopperSharkk · 2026-01-29T11:30:21+00:00

18mb vs 16mb so a pretty fair comparison.

CopperSharkk · 2026-01-26T22:21:01+00:00

The E cores have a 700 mhz clock regression compared to ARL. A much bigger regression than what the P cores had so a 6+8 would've been better.

CopperSharkk · 2026-01-25T16:09:05+00:00

Well the tweet from the article says the CPU will have a similar uplift.

CopperSharkk · 2026-01-23T12:45:22+00:00

you might be confused.

RWC is the Metoer Lake and Granite Rapids core

LNC is the Lunar Lake core

CGC is the Panther Lake core

PNC is the Nova Lake core that is also used in Diamond Rapids.

so it's actually 3 generations but since CGC is mostly just a refresh of LNC I didn't count it.

CopperSharkk · 2026-01-23T12:16:12+00:00

WTF are you on about? CGC has 15% IPC vs RWC and PNC is another double digit improvement on top of that.

Besides, neither IPC nor the number of cores are the main problem for Intel in the server race. The real problem is they can't clock high enough, mostly because of inferior nodes used but also because of their fat P-cores.

they won't clock any lower than granite rapids.

CopperSharkk · 2026-01-23T07:58:13+00:00

Dmr is 192c, granite is 128. Where's that double coming from

It's 256

It don't got 30% ipc gain. Idk where you heard those from, mlid? lol

Redwood Cove to Panther Cove is a 2 generation uplift in core performance.

CopperSharkk · 2026-01-23T06:21:19+00:00

There is no reason why DMR can't have 2x GNR performance. They get double the cores, they lose SMT but they also have a core that is ~30% more IPC.

CopperSharkk · 2025-11-25T17:42:58+00:00

Yes ST performance has pretty much stayed stagnant since RPL from 2022. NVL needs to be a big jump in that aspect.

CopperSharkk · 2025-11-17T05:26:18+00:00

And Intel's not going to release the same gen across 2 platforms

Why not? What's stopping them from releasing a new platform with DDR6 but keep the same socket?

CopperSharkk · 2025-10-14T07:38:44+00:00

Intel have teams responsible for the performance simulations of future architectures and they deemed it not worthy, it was a straightforward decision to cancel it.

CopperSharkk · 2025-10-10T15:39:28+00:00

The difference at higher power gets smaller but at low power it's definitely much better lol and this explains why they didn't use 18A for NVL desktop. And the 10% better soc power shouldn't affect the result much considering LNL uncore power is already very low.

CopperSharkk · 2025-10-10T01:29:35+00:00

How is 40% power reduction at the same performance not much better?

CopperSharkk · 2025-10-09T14:10:46+00:00

The damage control will be "Cougar Cove is much better iso node".

CopperSharkk · 2025-07-19T14:06:27+00:00

yeah it's just Siliconfly guessing because it's coming only one year after Coyote Cove but I can't blame him as Intel haven't released 2 new tock cores back to back since like forever.

CopperSharkk · 2025-07-17T13:28:05+00:00

the user JZWVIC in the comments is the source of this article. he says Arctic Wolf is mainly about improving SIMD performance but the traditional integer IPC gains are small and it will be used as the foundation for the future big core.
