Nice scoop from Ashraf: http://www.fool.com/investing/gener...e-name-of-intels-third-10-nanometer-chip.aspx
Seems everything is named after lakes these days
Nice scoop.
Not sure if its a coincidence or not but the "theme" for a lack of a better word seem to be related to the node that it should/would have been on
haswell, bradwell, Broadwell, all seem to be on 14-nm
Kaby Lake. Cannonlake, tigerlake all seem to be on 10nm
At least that is the feeling I get
Skylake and Kabylake are 14nm, Haswell was 22nm.
Intel's CPU naming is wholly un-creative...enough with the lakes!
The next gen Atoms are also lakes...Apollo Lake, Mercury Lake, and Gemini Lake. So. Many. Lakes.
Hence the should/would have as the 14nm got delayed. i guess that theory went out the window for haswell tho
Sure I would rather know the name of this planned 3rd generation 10nm product, than not know it(coz why not?), but what difference does knowing this make?
Knowing the name won't give us any indication about its architectural features.
I'm surprised how these product codenames seem to have become a story that media outlets are keen to publish.
Such codenames might help finding more information. For example try this in Google: myrtle site:ranker.sisoftware.netSure I would rather know the name of this planned 3rd generation 10nm product, than not know it(coz why not?), but what difference does knowing this make?

I wish they could just compress all the *lake cores to a single one. No use upgrading from one *lake to another anyway. It's even borderline worth upgrading from *bridge to *lake, skipping *well.
IIRC Intel changed their naming policies to point places (usually in Oregon) after they got sued by Warner Bros (Batman / Batman´s Revenge) :biggrin:
The key is that it's a 3rd 10-nanometer product
Yes. Same as they used to do some decades ago.So you want Intel to release one new processor every 3 years?
No, IPC and frequency.All that old performance came from frequency.
Today everything is about performance/watt.
Relax, it's just a back-up plan.
Just like they can do 7nm without EUV.
How much perf/watt have we seen on desktop? Regressing from 77W to 95W for the top end SKUs from IB to SKL. That while only seeing minuscule performance improvement.
