History
Golden Cove was originally unveiled by Intel at their 2018 architecture day. Golden Cove is intended to succeed Willow Cove in the 2021 timeframe.
Process Technology
Intel has confirmed that the Golden Cove architecture will be fabricated on their Intel 7 process (previously 10 nm Enhanced SuperFin (ESF)).
Architecture
