Intel has teased its next-generation Meteor Lake CPUs during the IDM 2.0 Accelerated keynote where the company presented its brand new process and packaging roadmap. In addition to the teaser, Intel also hinted at a possible launch date of its upcoming Alder Lake hybrid CPUs during early Q4 2021. Intel not only presented its brand new process and packaging roadmap but also teased products that will be utilizing its new nodes, mainly Intel 7 and Intel 4. First up, we have Alder Lake Client & Sapphire Rapids Data Center chips which will be based upon the Intel 7 node (previously Intel 10 Enhanced SuperFin). Intel Announces Process Roadmap Through 2025 & Beyond: New Naming Scheme,10nm ESF Now Intel 7,7nm Now Intel 4, Intel 3, Intel 20A & Beyond Based on what Intel showed during the event, it looks like we can confirm that the leaks we have seen so far are more or less confirmed. The Alder Lake CPU can be seen using a hybrid design & features 8 high-performance cores (Golden Cove) and 8 efficiency optimized cores (Gracemont). Intel also kind of hinted at the launch date of its 12th Gen Alder Lake family for 27th October and that aligns with earlier rumors that we heard about the CPUs launching around Halloween 2021. The next Intel ON series event will take place virtually in San Francisco on October 27-28,2021. Moving on, we have Intel’s Sapphire Rapids-SP Xeon CPU which is composed of four compute tiles.
