Alleged Intel Alder Lake CPU photo surfaces online
Yeah, that's the one with a baffling 1700 pins (LGA100), the processor has dimensions of 37.5x45mm and is bigger than most Intel CPUs.
The photo would be an engineering sample states Videocardz, and only the bottom of the processor can be seen (no details or specifications). Earlier this year, documentation about the lga1700 socket appeared on Intel's website, including references to Alder Lake.
Intel would be fabbing Alder Lake processors on 10nm process and is that series with CPU cores configured in a big.Little design (energy friendly+performance cores). That would be eight big Golden Cove cores and eight low-power Gracemont cores. Alder Lake would also support DDR5 and possibly PCIe 5.0 as well. Alder Lake might see some announcements next year, but that would be at the end of 2021. 14nm Rocket Lake is up first and gets a lga1200 socket.

So they are finally preparing to move to a smaller fab process but CPU is getting bigger.
Kind of irony.

Sad thing about this statement is Intel skipped it and their mobos still seem to have a premium in the majority of cases where as u have the option to take it or leave it with AMD.
As for this little big design I really want to see how this is going to be leveraged I can see mobile benefiting from it but I fail to see a real use for it for the vast majority of desktops. Just seems like it will fill some kind of a niche.

I agree, it's annoying. I've still stuck with Intel, mostly for gaming performance and familiarity, but its things like this that keep stacking up against them. When single threaded performance is worse, and multi-threaded, and the cost is higher, etc it will become really hard to stomach sticking with them.

Different size probably need new heatsink.
So if you are on gen 10, you will have to change everything. Just a year after.
Or stay on amd.

I wish Intel would have logical names for their cpu like core 1st gen, core 2n gen, core 3rd gen and so on instead of rocket lake, magical lake, fairy lake, i don't know wtf this lake is anymore ...
