Intel Overhauls CPUs: Alder Lake Architecture Explained - New Core, PCIe Gen5, & DDR5

Intel took the wraps off its latest CPU architecture for the upcoming Alder Lake CPUs. We'll explain Intel's new Performance Cores, Efficient Cores, & the interconnects Intel ADL is using.

Alder Lake is the biggest change to Intel's core architecture in about 6 years, at least for desktop, and marks a paradigm shift in how Intel is handling workloads of different intensity. The introduction of E-cores and P-cores for Intel ADL desktop CPUs allows for better efficiency, particularly in lower load work, and should theoretically help Intel with its power consumption, management, and resulting thermal envelope. This video also covers Thread Director, which is a workload scheduler to deal with these different types of cores, and other new technologies in the CPUs.
