Architecture

Airmont is for the most part identical to Silvermont with some higher number of execution units to the GPU in some of the higher-end models.

Key changes from Silvermont

  • DTLB table size doubled (128 entries -> 256 entries)
  • L2 latency increased
  • Reorder Buffer was increased (from 32 entries to 48)
  • Gen 8 GPUs
