"Intel claims up to 20% single-thread performance uplift"
"Alder Lake processors will be twice as fast in multi-threaded workloads"
"The slide also confirms that Alder Lake will support PCI Express Gen5 and Gen4. There is also a confirmation on DDR5 and DDR4 support, the platform will actually support both memory technologies at the same time. For mobile Alder Lake, Intel also confirms LPDDR4 and LPDDR4 support. We have recently revealed that Raptor Lake, a successor to Alder Lake will extend the memory support to LPDDR5X."
Interesting, That means if you were to buy Alder Lake, you may not need to buy new RAM modules so at least there's some cost savings!
