Intel took the time at CES to offer a preview of its next major chip release: its hybrid Alder Lake chipsets, which — like its Lakefield predecessor — will utilize an approach similar to Arm’s BIG.little technology, using high-performance and high-efficiency cores in a single package to maximize both power and efficiency.
But where the Lakefield chips were largely focused on mobile devices, Intel says that Alder Lake will help serve as the foundation for future desktop and mobile processors instead, with the first products using this “most power-scalable system-on-chip” set to arrive in the second half of the year.
The 12th Gen Alder Lake chips will feature a “new, enhanced version” of the 10nm SuperFin designs already…
