Intel is purportedly designing a next-gen core architecture from the ground up under the guidance of Jim Keller. This project is called Royal Core and is reportedly being built as a «Zen 5 killer».
Intel has been having a somewhat tough time ever since AMD’s Zen came on to the scene. Team Blue is no longer the dominant player in the x86 space and it has been a somewhat equal fight with AMD mostly gaining the upper hand in nearly all of the markets except perhaps notebooks. While the chief architects of Zen were Michael Clark and Suzanne Plummer, renowned engineer Jim Keller also had a huge role in its design philosophy. Since then, Keller has left AMD and is now working at Intel. And according to YouTuber Moore’s Law Is Dead (MLID), «Jim Keller is building a Zen 5 killer» at Intel. This Zen 5 killer is what Intel is allegedly working on under the leadership of Keller and the project is called «Royal Core».
