Intel has unveiled its next-generation client architecture, code-named “Elder Lake”, as the first performance hybrid architecture. Chipmaker announced Elder Lake As a part of Architecture Day 2021 where it showcased new architectural innovations in hardware. According to Intel, Elder Lake integrates a performance-core and an efficient-core to deliver significant performance across all types of workloads.
Intel worked on and developed Intel thread director With a view to make the core work seamlessly with the operating system. The thread director is built directly into the core and Intel says the operating system is designed to put the right threads on the right cores at the right time.
The company said that Elder Lake will provide the performance to support all client segments, from ultra-portable laptops to enthusiast and commercial desktops.
Intel also provided some details on its two new x86 central processing unit architectures, the next generation of data center processors; infrastructure processing unit architecture; and the upcoming graphics architecture.
Coming to the Infrastructure Processing Unit Architecture, or IPU, Intel unveiled two of them: mount evans and Oak Springs Valley. Mount Evans is the first ASIC IPU by the chipmaker, which is designed to deal with complex and scattered data centers, while Oak Springs Canyon is an IPU reference platform built with the company’s Xeon D processors and Agilex FPGAs. The function of the IPU is to reduce overhead and free up performance for the central processing units.
