CPU Alder Lake will receive the performance of LGA 1700

Yesterday, we once again talked about Intel Rocket Lake-S processors, which should be released either at the end of this year or at the beginning of next. They will retain the 14-nanometer process technology and LGA 1200 performance but will be based on the new CPU and GPU architectures.

Next year, Intel will again change the socket for desktop processors

According to Intel’s numerous leaks and roadmaps, Alder Lake processors will appear in the desktop segment after Rocket Lake. These will be the very long-awaited 10-nanometer desktop processors. When they come out, it is still unclear, but supposedly next year. And if earlier there were only rumors and indirect data regarding their socket, now we can say for sure: CPU Alder Lake-S will use the new LGA 1700 socket. This means that the current LGA 1200 will last only a year and a half on the market and but “accept” only one truly new generation.

On the performance of the LGA 1700 for Alder Lake-S processors, the data was found directly on the Intel website, so now there is no doubt.

As for the features of Alder Lake, we recall that these will be the first Intel desktop heterogeneous CPUs, containing, according to currently available data, up to eight “large” cores and up to eight “small” ones. In the first case, presumably, we are talking about the architecture of Golden Cove, and in the second – about Gracemont. Also worth noting is support for DDR5 and PCIe 4.0.

Unfortunately, it is not yet clear how Intel is going to compete with AMD in the flagship segment of desktop CPUs. Already, we have 16-core Ryzen, and next year AMD can again increase the number of cores, and this is not counting the new architectures.
