I did want to lay out the upcoming CPU roadmap based on rumors and confirmations as it's going to get interesting
| Late 2021 | Early 2022 | 2022 | Late 2022 | 2023 | 2023? |
| Alder Lake S | Zen 3 V-Cache | Raptor Lake | Zen 4 | Meteor Lake | Zen 5 |
| DDR5/PCIE 5/DDR4 | DDR4/PCIE 4 | DDR5/PCIE 5 | DDR5/PCIE 4 | DDR5/PCIE 5 | DDR5/??? |
| big.LITTLE | Chiplet | big.LITTLE | Chiplet | big.LITTLE | big.LITTLE |
| Intel 10nm | TSMC 7nm | Intel 10nm | TSMC 5nm | Intel 7nm | TSMC 3nm |

Now this is based on rumours so take it with a grain of salt.
Alder Lake S will certainly be the most interesting CPU to come out for a while. First CPU that not only does big.LITTLE but also has both DDR5 and PCIE5. AMD ironically has switched places where they will be behind in RAM and PCI-E technologies for essentially an entire year. Of course, the main question will be how powerful will Alder Lake S's big cores will be. If those Big cores turn out to be slower than Zen 3 refresh which will only have big cores, then Intel will still be in trouble. Still, a ton of the interesting times ahead for the PC CPU industry!
