Now this will be a very nice surprise for 2021, if Intel does release their 12th Gen (Alder Lake) processor this coming October. And I would love to see the next-gen Windows in action 😀
Taken from TPU … Intel is likely targeting a Halloween (October 2021) launch for its 12th Generation Core “Alder Lake-S” desktop processors, along the sidelines of the next-generation Windows PC operating system, which is being referred to in the press as “Windows 11,” according to “Moore’s Law is Dead,” a reliable source of tech leaks. This launch timing is key, as the next-gen operating system is said to feature significant changes to its scheduler, to make the most of hybrid processors (processors with two kinds of CPU cores).
The two CPU core types on “Alder Lake-S,” the performance “Golden Cove,” and the low-power “Gracemont” ones, operate in two entirely different performance/Watt bands, and come with different ISA feature-sets. The OS needs to be aware of these, so it knows exactly when to wake up performance cores, or what kind of processing traffic to send to which kind of core. Microsoft is expected to unveil this new-gen Windows OS on June 24, with RTX (retail) availability expected in Q4-2021.
