Intel Comet Lake surfaces in Linux drivers - Intel going for 10 cores for desktop procs

Intel Comet Lake surfaces in Linux drivers - Intel going for 10 cores for desktop procs

New pending desktop processors from Intel under codename Comet Lake-S, seem to get a maximum of 10 cores. The decacore proc will follow the Core i9 9900K, and is a modified version of the Skylake architecture. 

To avoid any confusion, these are being produced at 14 nanometers. The discovery was made as some entries surfaced in Linux drivers now another infusion of Skylake architecture is mentioned for the first time. The drivers list CML processors, which is the abbreviation for Comet Lake in Intel's nomenclature. The procs get GT1 and GT2 integrated graphics units (ninth generation of Intel's integrated graphics chips) and that indicates a fourth gen Skylake architecture.

INTEL_CML_GT2_IDS(&intel_coffeelake_gt2_info),
INTEL_CNL_IDS(&intel_cannonlake_info),
INTEL_ICL_11_IDS(&intel_icelake_11_info)

{ CPUID_COMETLAKE_U_A0, "Cometlake-U A0 (6+2)" },
{ CPUID_COMETLAKE_U_K0_S0, "Cometlake-U K0/S0 (6+2)/(4+2)" },
{ CPUID_COMETLAKE_H_S_6_2_P0, "Cometlake-H/S P0 (6+2)" },
{ CPUID_COMETLAKE_H_S_10_2_P0, "Cometlake-H/S P0 (10+2)" }

 

The indications that desktop procs will get up to ten cores and notebooks up to six cores. Interesting is the CML-S which has a design with ten cores, ie a Decacore for desktop systems. The processor would follow the eight-core Core i9-9900K (test) and, as usual, use an optimized Skylake microarchitecture.

Comet Lake seems to be a reaction to the launch of Zen 2, aka Ryzen 3000. There are expected models with eight, twelve and sixteen cores coming towards the PC mainstream segment.

Just change the name to what it should be for Intel cpu's as of late. Muddy Lake. Intel can't get out of it's own way to make 10nm wafers. And all this Muddy Lake problems will be passed on to you the consumer. The old magician trick of misdirection with rebranded cpu's and look 10 cores over here, is getting old.

The 9900k already runs damn hot pulling over 200 watts at stock clocks, so this CPU is going to be fun to cool. I have a feeling when AMD lands Zen2 intel will sell virtually zero of these 10 core chips. AMD should be really close in IPC, have a more efficient CPU partly due to 7nm and have more cores. Until 2020 when Intel moves to 10nm+ AMD should own the desktop market. Plus Intel is having a hard time making enough CPU's so this summer AMD will lend them a helping hand with that issue.

So this is how Intel fights with AMD 7nm Zen2? Hah.


Intel is dead.
