https://www.igorslab.de/en/exclusive-data-to-intel-alder-lake-s-hot-fight-with-amd/ "The revision B0 of this ES is still quite early and the base clock is also still quite low with only 1800 MHz. More interesting are the Turbo Boost limits of the big cores, where 1-2 cores are already supposed to reach 4.6 GHz, with 3-4 cores it’s still 4.4 GHz, with 5-6 cores 4.2 GHz and with all 8 cores then 4 GHz. The small Atom cores clock with up to 3.4 GHz with <=4 used cores, otherwise only with 3 GHz. According to the initial information, the new desktop CPUs will support up to dual-channel DDR5-4800 memory and the DDR4-enabled motherboards will support modules up to 3200-MHz. Supposedly, only the high-end Z690 motherboards will offer DDR5 support The CPU will have 16 PCIe Gen5 capable lanes and in addition 4 lanes in PCIe Gen4 standard. TDP of 125 watts. PL2 of a whopping 228 watts" Not feeling Alder Lake S bois. |
Looks like a catch-up from Intel CPU tbh. More cores for better multi-core performance. I wouldn't be surprised if it just matched Alderlakes performance in gaming.
Saying that, this the right step in direction for power efficiency using big little . That PL2 is yikes though..
