Not to mention the fact that Lunar Lake is just around the corner, and is slated to arrive as early as 2024.

What are you smoking ? LUNAR arch lineup isn't expected before 2025 at the earliest (regardless of the 18A process' progress).

After Meteor Lake/MTL we first have ARROW Lake slated for 2024, and then comes Lunar Lake. Intel has NOT changed any plans, nor given any info on an early release of Lunar Lake. It's not coming out before 2025.

By the way, speaking of Arrow Lake-S and Lunar Lake CPU lineup, how did you guys miss this news ? Intel provided an update on instruction support for the next-gen Arrow Lake-S & Lunar Lake lineup.

According to the "Architecture Instruction Set Extensions and Future Features" doc, upcoming Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake CPU lineups will come with support for new instructions.

As per this document, we can expect the inclusion of following instruction sets, AVX-VNNI-INT16, LAM, SHA512, SM3, and SM4 instructions focused on artificial intelligence tasks. No sign of AVX-512 support on consumer-grade chips yet though.

I presume SHA512, SM3, and SM4 instructions will offer secure hashing and encryption since they are cryptographic algorithms. There is support for more instruction sets.

Intel has highlighted the changes in purple in this chart.

Meteor lake is using intel 4, not 20a. It is arrow lake that is said that will use 20a.

Driver support always Useful ! ! ! ! !
So We Will Wait ! ! ! !

What comes after Lunar Lake though?

What comes after Lunar Lake though?

NOVA Lake.

Nova Lake CPUs would bring forth brand new architectures known as Panther Cove and Darkmont to the table. The lineup is rumored to be the biggest architectural up lift in Intel's history, even bigger than the Core architecture itself which was introduced all the way back in 2006.

The CPU performance improvement is rumored to be more than 50% over the Lunar Lake chips. However, don't expect these chips to launch till the end of 2025 or even move to Q2 2026 at the earliest.

This is also the reason why Glenn Hinton returned to INTEL.

so does that mean it will be Gen 1, or Gen 15/16/17

if its not Gen 1, then it doesnt sound like it is a brand new architecture, just an up date to the current lineup, like we have had for 12 generations now

Most likely it should dubbed as 17th Gen Nova Lake series if we assume Intel follows the same cadence of nomenclature. But nothing is officially confirmed yet. I doubt they will call it GEN 1 though.

Or maybe they can call the new series entirely something else if the architecture is entirely overhauled.

Thanks for the info. That's good for Intel if they use a new arch from scratch.

they NEED a new architecture from scratch. the one that have now, is almost at the point where they cant get much more out of it.

Yeah I agree on this part
