Intel Shares Details on Upcoming 'Ice Lake' Chips to Follow Coffee Lake and Cannon Lake

​

as intel prepares unveil 8th-generation coffee lake processors next week, company has released basic information on upcoming 10-nanometer "ice lake" chip, serve successor 14-nanometer coffee lake , 10-nanometer cannon lake chips.

details on ice lake architecture, made on intel's 10nm+ process, have been shared on intel's codename decoder.

"the ice lake processor family successor 8th generation intel(r) coretm processor family. these processors utilize intel's industry-leading 10 nm+ process technology," reads site.

anandtech points out, intel's decision share details on ice lake odd because company has not announced or shared details on cannon lake, first chips built on 10-nanometer architecture, , intel referring ice lake successor soon-to-be-announced 14-nanometer coffee lake chips, leading confusion upcoming processor lineup , how cannon lake fits in.

intel's current kaby lake chips built on second-generation 14nm+ architecture, while coffee lake third-generation 14nm++ architecture. both kaby lake , coffee lake available both desktops , laptops, appears 10-nanometer cannon lake chips succeed coffee lake chips in laptops, while desktops won't see 10-nanometer architecture until release of ice lake.

anandtech speculates chip confusion result of difficulty behind developing 10-nanometer architecture. intel needs perfect 10-nanometer chips smaller processors before moving on larger desktop processors.

simply put, first generation of 10nm requires small processors ensure high yields. intel seems putting smaller die sizes (i.e. under 15w laptop) 10nm cannon lake bucket, while larger 35w+ chips on 14++ coffee lake, tried , tested sub-node larger cpus. while desktop sits on 14++ bit longer, gives time intel further develop 10nm fabrication abilities, leading 10+ process larger chips working other large chip segments (fpga, mic) first.

intel's 14nm++ coffee lake chips officially unveiled on august 21, , these chips see in apple notebooks , standard imac desktops in coming year, again, it's unclear how cannon lake fits lineup , whether chips available machines in time 2018 refreshes.

successor intel's 8th-generation chips, ice lake not available until late 2018 or 2019, exact timeline determined intel's success in improving 10-nanometer architecture.
