Alder Lake-X mentioned in AIDA64 - Intel to return to the HEDT market?
AIDA build 64 6.60.5944 patch notes indicate preliminary compatibility for a mysterious new Intel CPU platform called Alder Lake-X. This suggests that Intel is returning to the HEDT market after a long hiatus, but we don't have official information on these new CPUs.
Intel has recently started using the letter X to symbolize its HEDT platform, including the chipset and CPUs. So it's reasonable to believe Alder Lake-X will carry on that legacy. But we haven't seen an Intel HEDT CPU in years. 2019 saw the arrival of the 14nm Cascade Lake-X HEDT range, which can handle up to 18 cores.
Version: 6.60.5944 beta (Apr 08, 2022)
Release notes
- preliminary support for Intel Alder Lake-X CPU
- AX206 LCD / support for 6 pages
- workaround for Intel Skylake, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, Comet Lake BCLK measurement when OC MailBox is unusable
- fixed: sensor support for Intel Tiger Canyon NUC11TN
- fixed: fan RPM measurement for MSI MS-7D20, 7D21, 7D22, 7D23
Intel 7 node produces Alder Lake and Sapphire Rapids on the 10nm Enhanced SuperFin technology. Both CPU families feature Intel's Golden Cove cores, however Sapphire Rapids lacks Gracemont cores. It makes sense because the former targets data centers and the latter the broader public. An enthusiast-friendly variant of Intel's Sapphire Rapids platform, including an unlocked multiplier for overclocking and other features. However, if Intel does introduce Sapphire Rapids-X, Alder Lake-X and Sapphire Rapids-X will have to coexist. But it's not impossible, and it works for Intel. maybe we'll hear more about Alder Lake-X in the future, but Intel looks to be exploring a HEDT market return. Alder Lake-X will give AMD new competition, which is good.

I just hope they keep the P/E core structure intact. At first I was against it but then i realized its actually genius for
how some programs like after effects work. While you tinker inside it uses only the P cores, the moment you start
rendering it starts utilizing both the P and E. So basically instead of having a lot of slow cores or a low amount of
high end cores(like all cpus before P/E era), you get the best of both worlds.

When you think about X299 released in 2017 so thats five years. Its about time they do something about it and not let AMD has all the fun.

Only if the price point is reasonable, and, if they don't use E-cores as a way to keep up with Threadripper's core count. Unlike a lot of people here, I'm in favor of E-cores, but they don't belong in HEDT.

Intel must have been feeling pretty miserable to have been kicked out of the HEDT space entirely for a few years. Before Threadripper, there was nothing but Intel in the HEDT market. In fact, Intel was the one who defined the whole thing. Let's hope it can bring something competitive onto the table. After all, the HEDT belonging solely to AMD is no different than it belonging to Intel only, even though AMD redefined what you can expect from it performance and price wise. That was, of course, more or less necessary since AMD stretched the mainstream to the area that during Intel's reign belonged to the enthusiast HEDT.
