Willow Cove is the successor to Sunny Cove, a high-performance 10 nm x86 core microarchitecture designed by Intel for an array of server and client products, including Tiger Lake.
History[edit]
Willow Cove was originally unveiled by Intel at their 2018 architecture day. Willow Cove is intended to succeed Sunny Cove in the 2020 timeframe.
Process Technology[edit]
Willow Cove is designed to take advantage of Intel's 10 nm process (10nm SuperFin).
Architecture[edit]
Key changes from Sunny Cove
- Expanded L2 Cache (512KB 8-way → 1.25MB 20-way)
- 50% Expanded L3 Cache (8MB 16-way → 12MB 12-way)
- Memory Subsystem with more bandwidth and LPDDR5 support
- New Total Memory Encryption(TME) feature
This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
New instructions[edit]
Willow Cove introduced a number of new instructions:
- Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) enhancements
-
MOVDIR- Direct stores - Additional AVX-512 extensions:
-
AVX512_VP2INTERSECT- AVX-512 Vector Intersection Instructions
-
