Processador Intel Ice Lake (? geração)

Mais uma vez, isso vale 0, os processos e especificações não existem num vácuo, existem para fabricar produtos, e acho que já todos sabemos o que a Intel fabricou até ao momento em 10nm... e vamos ver se os Ice Lake virão com as especificações anunciadas ou não!

O que interessa no final é: area/power/performance e claro o preço!
 
A Intel apresentou hoje os resultados do 3º trimestre, mas não encontro grandes menções ao processo 10 nm. A unica coisa mais ou menos interessante foi:

The status of the 10-nanometer process would likely be of central importance to analysts on the call, along with the CEO search, the opportunity for growth in the data center market and gross margin potential in 2019, analysts Stacy Rasgon and James Williams at Bernstein Research wrote in a note to clients on Monday.

"We have repositioned some 10-nanometer to 14-nanometer, and we are making progress with our 10-nanometer process technology," Intel chief financial officer Bob Swan said on a conference call with analysts after the earnings release. Intel shares sold off some following the remarks.

With respect to the 7-nanometer process, Swan said Intel has obviously been investing there and that the rate of investment it makes to "prove out" the technology would factor into capital expenditures next year, along with growth in 14-nanometer process and the rate that it scales the 10-nanometer process.

Muito vago.
 
A Microsoft não vai deixar cair Intel.
A Intel comprou a Altera, uma empresa de FPGAs e a Azure estava a usar exclusivamente Altera, nesse segmento. A Azure está a usar as FPGAs da Altera para SDN (Software Defined Network).

Algumas placas da Microsoft/Azure:

Agora a Microsoft vai deixar de usar exclusivamente Altera e passa a usar também Xilinix, a outra grande marca de FPGAs.

Mas isto só está relacionado com o mercado de FPGAs e não tem qualquer relação com o Ice Lake.
 
Intel 10nm "Ice Lake" to Combine "Sunny Cove" CPU Cores with Gen11 iGPU
Intel's upcoming "Ice Lake" die could be the company's biggest processor innovation in a decade, combining new clean-slate design "Sunny Cove" CPU cores, and a new integrated graphics solution based on the company's Gen11 architecture. "Sunny Cove" introduces significant IPC (single-thread performance) gains over "Coffee Lake," introduces new ISA instruction sets, including AVX-512; and a brand new uncore component; while the Gen11 graphics core is Intel's first iGPU to reach the 1 TFLOP/s mark. Intel demonstrated the ultra-low power "Ice Lake-U" SoC platform in its 2018 Architecture Day briefing.

Intel Unveils a Clean-slate CPU Core Architecture Codenamed "Sunny Cove"

Intel Gen11 iGPU Roughly as Fast as Radeon Vega 8 (Ryzen 3 2200G)
 
Parece que os rumores que existia um "Lakefield" que será o "Big.Little" da Intel, estavam correctos.

ntel today unveiled a killer new product with which it hopes to bring about as big a change to mobile computing as Ultrabook did some eight years ago. This effort is a combination of a new mobile computing form-factor codenamed "Project Athena," and an SoC at its heart, codenamed "Lakefield." Put simply, "Lakefield" is a 10 nm SoC that's integrated much in the same way as today's ARM SoCs, which combine IP from various vendors onto a single PoP (package-over-package) Foveros die.

The biggest innovation with "Lakefield" is its hybrid x86 multi-core CPU design, which combines four Atom-class low-power cores, with one Core-class "Sunny Cove" core, in a setup akin to ARM's big.LITTLE. Low-power processing loads are distributed to the smaller cores, while the big core is woken up to deal with heavy loads. The SoC also integrates a Gen 11 iGPU core, partial components to accelerate 802.11ax WLAN, 5G, an PoP DRAM and NVMe storage devices. The reference motherboard based on "Lakefield" is barely larger than an M.2 SSD!

Uma reference board do Intel Lakefield, supostamente, para portáteis:

Acho bastante curioso, porque em área, não deve andar longe de um Raspberry Pi. :)

Ou seja, usando o estilo de arquitectura ARM (big/small cores) conseguem fazer uma máquina bastante capaz, de um tamanho reduzido. Não inesperado, mas bom de se ver.
