Intel’s New 10 Year plan is AMBITIOUS! Comet lake i5’s get Hyperthreading!

Let’s get started with intel. The company is in a bit of a rut right now, not financially, I mean intel is flush with cash, but with their everlasting stint in the 14-nanometer club, their image and future seem to be hurting. It looks like intel needs a plan, and they do have one. For the next 10 years. That’s if they actually can respect it.
anyways, intel used to follow their Tick Tock 2-year production model. And it was quite effective. One year, the tock would receive a microarchitecture change, and the next, the tick, which would receive a process node shrink. In 2016, intel doomed tick-tock unsustainable for the future and came out with a new model for CPU production called, PAO. Or process architecture Optimization. No one calls it pao btw except me.
So PAO started with the Haswell architecture more precisely with Broadwell at 14nm’s as a node shrink or “Process”. Then we had an architectural change with Skylake. And then the optimization stage with kaby lake, but then again with kaby lake R,and then again with coffee lake, I mean you know the story. Essentially, Intel wasn’t really able to keep up with PAO either.
But what is crazy is that their new plan looks very inspired by tick-tock with a 2 to 2 and a half year cycle to drop down a process node. Let’s take a look at it.
First of all, I just want to say that this specific slide has been altered by the ASML. The original one, this one, doesn’t have the numbers for the process as you can see here So it could be 6nm instead of 5 or 4 instead of 3, etc, etc. What counts is the overall plan. So, looking at it, you can see that intel expects each node to have 3 stages and that a new node would launch along with the 3rd stage. Another interesting thing is the backport opportunity. We don’t actually know what it is exactly, but it could be similar to what has been rumored for Rocket lake cpu’s in 2021. Taking a design for a cpu that is new, but use it on a larger process. Rocket lake on the desktop is rumored to have the design of the 10nm tiger lake with some tweaking but at 14nm’s.
