Intel Alder Lake-S will support DDR5 and Rocket Lake-S will have a TDP of up to 95W
For Comet Lake-S processors, Intel has changed the socket, releasing the new LGA1200. This socket has been released only to support the Comet Lake-S processors and Rocket Lake-S, changing later. Alder Lake-S processors, theoretically already in the 10nm lithography, will use the LGA1700 socket. Now we have also learned that Alder Lake-S supports DDR5, among other new technologies.
It is currently quite difficult to know for sure what Intel will do in the coming months and years. The company is being forced to undergo a transformation in its processor segment. The reason is that AMD with Ryzen processors has shown that there is another way of doing things and that it is good for users.
- 7th generation Intel Core i9700 XNUMXK processor with eight cores,
- With Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0 Technology, the maximum turbo frequency this processor can achieve is 4.9 GHz.
- This processor also supports dual channel DDR4-2666 RAM and uses XNUMXth generation technology.
- Note: The boxed product does not include a fan or heat sink.
- WARNING! Check on the manufacturer's website if this device is compatible with your systems.
Intel Alder Lake-S will support DDR5, hence the new socket
The new leak of the details of upcoming Intel processors indicates a new socket change. We all knew that the LGA1200 would last for two generations and then the LGA1700 socket would arrive. The reason for changing the socket again is that the Alder Lake-S support DDR5 and a new socket is required. So it is confirmed that in 2022 DDR5 memories will reach the consumer segment
These new Alder Lake-S processors would support DDR5 @ 4800GT / s with one DIMM per channel. Predictably, DDR5 memories will also support overclocking, as happens with DDR4 memories. Also, rumors indicate that motherboard PCBs will have at least 6 layers
Rocket Lake-S processor TDP revealed
Along with the LGA1700 socket and the DDR5, the possible TDP of the Rocket Lake-S processors has been revealed. These processors would arrive in 2021 and will replace the Comet Lake-S that are soon to be released. The new processors based on the Willow Cove cores will be based on 14nm and will have a new range of TDP. Specifically, it has been detailed:
- Rocket Lake Core i9 8-core with a TDP of 95W. For the PL2 power level it will reach a maximum consumption of 173W and for a PL4 it will reach 251W.
- Core i7, Core i5, and Core i3 8-core, 6-core, and 4-core, respectively, with a TDP of 80W. For these processors the PL2 will be 146W, the PL3 will be 191W and the PL4 251W.
- 8-core, 6-core and 4-core processors with a 65W TDP. These would be low-power processors, those without an identifier after the number that usually have low frequencies. These would have a PL2 of 128W, PL3 of 177 and PL4 of 251.
