− | == Overview ==
| |
− | Alder Lake departs from all prior Intel SoCs by featuring the company's first mainstream implementation of a single-ISA heterogeneous multi-core microarchitecture. While not the first ({{\\|Lakefield}} was), Alder Lake is the first to target all market segments from mobile to desktop and workstation. The overall microarchitecture builds on its predecessor, {{\\|Tigerlake}} but expends on its by integrating two vastly different types of cores - up to eight [[big cores]] based on the {{\\|Golden Cove}} microarchitecture and up to eight [[small cores]] based on the {{\\|Gracemont}} microarchitecture. The big cores are designed to push single-thread performance while the small cores are designed to push multi-thread power efficiency. By finely orchestrating thread scheduling based on performance demand, Alder Lake is able to provide both higher multi-threading performance-efficiency and better single-thread performance.
