Succession

Alder Lake (ADL) is Intel's successor to Tiger Lake, a 10 nm microarchitecture for mainstream workstations, desktops, and mobile devices.

Process Technology

Intel is planning Alder Lake to be built on an improved Intel 7 node (previously 10nm Enhanced SuperFin (ESF)). This will be the case for both the powerful Golden Cove cores, and Gracemont cores.

History

In January 2021 Intel teased Alder Lake in their CES 2021 speech. On the July 26th's Intel Accelerated webcast, CEO Pat Gelsinger hinted at the Alder Lake lineup being released at a future event called "Intel Innovation" which aired between October 27-28th.

Architecture

Key changes from Tiger Lake

  • Core
    • Hybrid Golden Cove (big core) & Gracemont (small core) microarchitecture
    • At least 20% IPC improvements
    • Intel 7 node
  • Memory
    • Support for DDR5
    • Speeds of at least 4800MHz, up to 5600MHz
  • Improved power delivery system

Die

Alder Lake comes in four die variants depending on the market segment.
