Alder Lake will be announced on October 27 during the “Intel Innovation” event
Following the lead of CEO Pat Gelsinger and the tentative dates Intel has been providing, Intel will hold its Intel Innovation event on October 27 and 28, according to a press release. Everything points to the announcement of Alder Lake at this event.
As well as being the first desktop processors to use Intel's new 7-nanometer manufacturing process, they will also be the first to use a hybrid architecture that combines high-performance cores with cores with high efficiency, similar to ARM's BIG.little. In addition, this new generation will be the first to support DDR5 and PCI-Express 5.0 memory.
Intel confirmed that Alder Lake-S will feature 8 Golden Cove cores and 8 Gracemont cores
Alder Lake-S will feature 8 Golden Cove high-performance cores and 8 Gracemont high-efficiency cores, Intel confirmed this in a new render. Due to the fact that Gracemont cores do not support Hyper-Threading (HT), Alder Lake-S can only offer 16 cores and 24 threads, which is what the i9-12900K will have.
| Rocket Lake-S | Alder Lake-S | Raptor Lake-S | Meteor Lake-S | Lunar Lake-S | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Launch Date | March 30, 2021 | Q4 2021 | Q4 2022 | 2023 (?) | 2024 (?) |
| Fabrication Node | 14nm | Intel 7 | Intel 7 | Intel 4 | TBC |
| Core µArch | Cypress Cove | Golden Cove + Gracemont | Raptor Cove + Gracemont | Redwood Cove + Gracemont (?) | TBC |
| Graphics µArch | Gen12.1 | Gen12.2 | Gen12.2 | Gen 12.7 | Gen 13 |
| Max Core Count | up to 8 cores | up to 16 (8C+8c) | up to 24 (8C+16c) | TBC | TBC |
| Socket | LGA1200 | LGA1700 | LGA1700 | TBC | TBC |
| Memory Support | DDR4 | DDR4/DDR5 | DDR5 | DDR5 | DDR5 |
| PCIe Gen | PCIe 4.0 | PCIe 5.0 | PCIe 5.0 | PCIe 5.0 | PCIe 5.0 |
| Intel Core Series | 11th Gen Core-S | 12th Gen Core-S | 13th Gen Core-S | 14th Gen Core-S | 14th Gen Core-S |

Considering AMD will do BIG little Zen5(?) I am really curious about Alder Lake might
even buy one. Will wait for the DDR5 motherboards, hopefully both DDR4 and DDR5
motherboards will be available at launch and that they use 24pin so no new PSU is
needed.
Also I hope the performance rumors are true or at least close and that AMD and Intel
start beat each other when it comes to performance from now on every time both
releases a new generation.

despite all of my faint praise for Intel, i'm psyched to see these go on the market.
and relating to a story posted a few days ago these are Intel 7, not 7nm.
that confusion is exactly what was desired.

What? Alder Lake is the most exciting Intel launch in years. New Intel 7 node, DDR5, PCIE5, ATX V12, rumors and leaks showing very nice performance uplift overall (take with a grain of salt of course). You are just a cynical person, that is all.
All that slow cores-fast cores, odd number of threads still on ddr4 just feels wierd man. Im not hyped at all for alder lake.
