Intel's Redwood Cove: Baby Steps Are Still Steps
(chipsandcheese.com)
Intel’s Meteor Lake chip signaled a change in Intel’s mobile strategy, moving away from the monolithic designs that had characterized Intel’s client designs for more than a decade. But radical changes create risk. Intel appears to have controlled that risk by iterating very conservatively on their CPU architectures. I already covered Meteor Lake’s E-Core architecture, Crestmont. Here, I’ll go over the P-Core architecture, Redwood Cove.
