From a quick read, in case anyone is wondering, this is built on the latest-gen 10nm process which is a refinement on the previous 10nm process. Intel's goal was to focus on clock increases, so the instruction per clock is apparently not much changed. From looking at the tables, the whole line of processors appear to have nicely improved one core max clock speeds, which should hopefully help single core performance, which isn't something that has been increasing much lately.

Anecdote: a family member and software dev just bought the latest macbook pro coming from about an 8 year old macbook pro. Apparently he doesn't perceive much real world performance difference between the 2 machines. He said single core synthetic benchmarks were higher, but not by much.

Is 10nm finally yielding or is this a paper launch / "10nm"? EDIT: ah, these are laptop chips, that's the catch.

Apparently this is on a next gen 10nm process that was designed to increase yeilds, but Intel would say that, wouldn't they. We'll see!

laptop chips at 50W? Someone's going to be buying a brick.

50W is peak under all core turbo and only if the laptops cooling system can handle it.

Most systems won't come anywhere near that

The chip image surprised me: where's the L3 cache? On previous generations, L3 cache was a significant amount of real estate. Is it no longer shared between cores?

L3 cache is under the "Coherent Fabric" block (it's the 12MB Last Level Cache thing).

The contrast in community enthusiasm between this and Nvidia's 3xxx announcement could not be more severe.

That was exciting. The performance gains are exciting. The product is exciting. The architecture is exciting. This is not exciting, unless I’m entirely missing the exciting part of this, which is wholly possible.

Native Thunderbolt, much faster clock speeds, and greatly improved graphics. Solid offering all around I think. Should give some competition for the Ryzen 4000-series laptop chips.

The article doesn't appear to mention the price points for these new chips. I also find it interesting that the TDP maxes out at 50W. Is Intel entirely focused on the medium/low end or is there a problem with doing higher TDP chips using the "SuperFin" architecture?

From what it sounds like, they're focusing on producing the low-mid power chips because they have a smaller die size and obviously it's easier to get yield up.

Worked swapped out my mid 2015, 2-core 16gb with a 2019 8 core, 32gb, and this machine is night and day better. It's so much faster at every task I throw at it.

This is not generally how Intel measures TDP, unless they changed something this time.
