"Intel 7" node discussion
Please discuss it here if you have any objections. Again, as I mentioned in the edit history, modern node names have absolutely nothing to do with actual transistors dimensions and it's been like that for at least five years. Artem S. Tashkinov (talk) 19:51, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

 * The Intel 7 link should not link to the 7nm page. Intel simply renamed their 10nm process as "Intel 7" to as a marketing ploy to con people into thinking it was actually 7nm. there were numerous tech articles that shined light on this obvious tactic when it hapoened. linking to the 7nm article is misleading at best and at worst wrong. Intel 7 is a 10nm fab. Period. 2600:387:F:E11:0:0:0:3 (talk) 02:00, 17 October 2021 (UTC)


 * The 7nm Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_nm_process does include this Intel node. Please discuss your concerns over there. Whatever Intel renamed or not, 1) Nodes names have long been decoupled from actual dimensions 2) Intel "7nm" node which you don't like so much has a density comparable to TSMC's 7nm node which sounds about right and indicates Intel can indeed use this naming scheme. If you go down the rabbit hole of denying only Intel this name, then deny it to TSMC as well and call the whole naming scheme a hoax. Artem S. Tashkinov (talk) 07:57, 17 October 2021 (UTC)


 * you simultaneously say that nodes have been decoupled from actual dimensions but also say that Intel 7 is appropriately linked to 7nm. so which is it? either don't link it at all, or if you're going to split hairs (which you evidently are) then at least link it appropriately. it's a 10nm fab no matter what Intel wants to name it. linking the Intel 7 (10nm process) to the 7nm process page is misleading and incorrect. 2600:387:F:E1A:0:0:0:4 (talk) 16:27, 17 October 2021 (UTC)


 * "say that Intel 7 is appropriately linked to 7nm" - never said or implied that. "it's a 10nm fab no matter what Intel wants to name it" - what does 10nm mean exactly? Start your discontent with some actual facts or proofs of your very strong position. What does TSMC's 7nm node mean exactly? "linking the Intel 7 (10nm process) to the 7nm process page is misleading and incorrect." - again, please take it to this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_nm_process - I'm repeating the same arguments over and over again, while you have none aside from very personal and subjective resentment for Intel. For the 4th time: TSMC 7nm and Intel "7nm" nodes have comparable densities and characteristics. TSMC 7nm node fares a tad better at high frequencies though (lower power consumption). The link will stay. Please use indents, : for every new comment, punctuation marks, and capitalize the first letters of new sentences. Neglecting all of this shows disrespect. Artem S.

Turning Power into Intelligence for 12th Gen Chips
Lead power management architect Arik Gihon discussed about Turning Power into Intelligence for 12th Gen Chips. Rjluna2 (talk) 20:57, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh this is a lovely sentence fragment: small Efficient-cores (or E-cores) that easily multiply to handle multiple jobs at once.   So Intel E-cores are going to convert the Earth into grey goo the first time somebody accidentally spawns infinite threads?
 * Ignoring that, this press release is a really roundabout way of not saying much.  Is there some relevance here?   Just from the article (and I don't care about game DRM which is broken on everything anyway) it sounds like the mess of having two NUMA nodes for a single processor system is going to cause tons of problems, more so if the instruction sets differ in any way.  SMP-aware software doesn't generally assume half the cores in a system are missing AVX-256 or whatever and some of it will never be updated to do so and will need to be forced to run at the least capable ISA level of the two.   --A Shortfall Of Gravitas (talk) 09:31, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

ITD support for Linux
Kernel support alone is not enough for ITD to work under Linux because the kernel needs to know how to route tasks to certain types of cores. Windows has the technology to find out what the foreground window is and prioritize tasks accordingly. The Linux kernel has zero knowledge in this regard. Artem S. Tashkinov (talk) 12:49, 25 February 2022 (UTC)


 * > Windows has the technology to find out what the foreground window is and prioritize tasks accordingly.
 * Not that this knowledge is particularly useful. As initial tests shown, it is often the case that the foreground task is less performance-hungry than the background one. For example, when you're browsing the web or reading email while compressing video in the background. I'm not sure if MS eventually fixed this or left to users to fix by manually setting process affinity. 2A02:2168:84D9:F00:25AE:3141:3059:9AE8 (talk) 10:14, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

First Socketed SoC Processors for Edge Innovation
Intel added new batch of these Alder Lake series at First Socketed SoC Processors for Edge Innovation. The product brief can be found at 12th Gen Intel® Core™ SoC for IoT Edge. Rjluna2 (talk) 17:31, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

13th Gen
Some of the 13th Gen processors (namely the 13600 and below) appear to actually use the Alder Lake architecture, while the rest (13600K and above) use the Raptor Lake design (source ). Should we move the lower ones here with that explanation? ~ JdRDMS  00:24, 13 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm 100% against that because users will be confused as they will be searching for 13th gen CPUs in the 13th gen article and they won't find them, secondly Intel has never confirmed that CPUs below 13600K/KF are not actually Raptor Lake CPUs. To be honest, no one has conclusively proved that yet. We may deduce they are based on the Alder Lake core but that's not encyclopedic enough. Artem S. Tashkinov (talk) 07:58, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Alder Lake → Adler Lake (microarchitecture) – There are lakes with this name, so that if the microarchitecture name is not alone, we should call it as the other microarchitecture, as "(microarchitecture)" Maxim Masiutin (talk) 01:09, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment the destination should be "Alder Lake (microarchitecture)" in the nomination. TSventon (talk) 09:44, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment The micro architectures are Golden Cove (P-cores) and Gracemont (E-cores). The article could be renamed to Alder Lake (Microprocessor) but I just don't seen a lot of sense in that. This idea is just wrong. Artem S. Tashkinov (talk) 10:28, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

Alder Lake-H Core-i3 iGPUs
I'm pretty sure these Core-i3 chips use UHD graphics rather than the Iris Xe they're showing in the table. Don't want to edit the page though, in case I make a bigger mess. Drunkahol (talk) 11:39, 11 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I see UHD 730 for all of them. Artem S. Tashkinov (talk) 11:51, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry, want specific enough in the message. It's the Alder Lake-P and -U chips I'm looking at. From the Intel website links in the tables, it looks like the i7 and i5 chips use Iris Xe iGPU, whereas the i3, Pentium, and Celeron use UHD. The EU count and click stored look right, but I don't think they use Iris Xe. Drunkahol (talk) 13:22, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I believe you are correct. Will have to make a separate table to make it look right. @Drunkahol Digital27 (talk) 13:27, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The last table on the page for the Low-Power UL processors adds a "Brand" sub-column under the "Graphics" section. It would be acceptable like this surely? Drunkahol (talk) 09:41, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course. @Drunkahol Digital27 (talk) 09:56, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
