Breakdown Diagram of Intel Rocket-Lake S Die

Breakdown Diagram of Intel Rocket-Lake S Die

Intel yesterday 'somewhat' introduced Rocket Lake-S 14nm fabricated desktop processors. The processors are due for release somewhere in March. Alongside the presentation, a die shot was shared by Intel, and that one got dissected on social media creating an interesting picture of the processor die.

@Locuza_ on Twitter took the photo of the die and started dissecting the parts and blocks, obviously showing the eight Cypress Cove CPU cores and iGPU based on Xe. Cypress Cove cores have 512 KB of dedicated L2 cache. The shared L3 cache is 16 MB, spread across eight 2 MB slices. A big chunk of the silicon collateral goes to the Xe iGP ( Gen12 Xe-LP GT1 integrated graphics) with its 32 EUs (execution units) and thus 256 Shader processors. IO wise, there are 28 CPie gen 4.0 lanes, of which 20 can be used on the user end. Have a peek:

Considering how drastically different the dies look, that seems promising to me that this isn't just yet another refresh of the same old thing.

I love seeing CPU dies, they look like aerial views of massive cities, incredible complexity.

Me too. The movie "Blackhat" had some interesting scenes where the camera "flew" inside a chip and you could see all the interconnections. It was cool the first couple of times but got cheesy from repetition.
