We have some very fresh new information on the next generation of 12th Gen Core Alder Lake-S processors. It is confirmed from trusted sources that Intel Alder Lake-S is 20% more powerful in mono-core than Comet Lake-S. Below are given the test results.
A slide sourced from Intel and discovered by Videocardz gives us a little glimpse of what we can expect from the 12th Gen Intel Core. According to the slide, the Alder Lake-S processors are going to offer 20% more performance on a single core. Although it was not specified as to which generation, we imagine they are referring to Rocket Lake-S, which would fit in perfectly with a 20% performance jump. They also ensure that multicore performance is going to double, but it may only be on certain specific tasks.
Among other specifications, they also reveal that the Alder Lake-S processors will use the 10nm process node "Enhanced 10nm SuperFin", which would help provide higher performance and more energy efficiency.
Alder Lake-S is going to use the Golden Cove and Gracemont cores, which are high-performance and low-performance cores, respectively.
Another of the most important revelations of this slide is the confirmation that the Alder-Lake-S processors will have support for DDR5, LPDDR5 memory and also for the new PCI Express 5.0 connection interface. The latter is what is most surprising and shows that the PCI Express 5.0 slots will arrive, possibly, in the year 2022.
PCI Express 5.0 connectivity within Alder Lake-S consists of 16 lanes and PCI Express 4.0 connectivity will have 4 lanes, with an 8-link DMI. With this in mind, PCIe 5.0 connectivity would be available for the PCIe x16 slots, but not for the M.2 slots.
The Alder Lake-S processors will use the new LGA 1700 sockets, replacing the LGA 1200 socket. We expect their arrival at the end of this year 2021.
