Intel's Alder Lake CPUs are set to arrive later this year and could offer much larger gains than its upcoming 11th gen chips, if a report from Videocardz is anything to go by. The rather official-looking slideshow claims that the 12th generation processors will have single-threaded and multi-threaded performance gains of 20% and 200% respectively, although it doesn’t clarify whether this is comparing to mobile or desktop 11th gen CPUs.
We're expecting impressive gains with the upcoming Alder Lake chips, thanks in part to a new, smaller 10nm process, instead of the current 14nm design that Intel's still using in its Rocket Lake chips. The new big.LITTLE design will also play a part in any gains 12th gen has over its predecessor, as it incorporates both high performance and high efficiency cores, depending on the task at hand - of which the CPU referred to in the slides has eight performance and eight efficiency cores.
While it's still early days for Alder Lake, Apple's new ARM-based silicon shows just how much a performance increase a big.LITTLE design can have. This could be a sign of things to come in future Alder Lake benchmark leaks.
