Here you will find all the information regarding Intel Alder Lake processors. These Intel processors would be the company's first 10nm-based desktop processors. They are scheduled for 2022 and would integrate new RAM memory standards and a new architecture.

09/08/2020 - They could have support for DDR5
It is expected that in 2021 DDR5 RAM memories will begin to be implemented in the server and data center market. Then this standard of memories will reach the general market, something that has always been given with the latest standards. The first Intel processors to support DDR5 would be the Alder Lake processors.
It should be noted that Intel and AMD have not yet confirmed that future processors will support DDR5.
Videocardz has been the one who has indicated sources that point to Intel's Alder Lake-S supporting DDR5. These processors wouldn't hit the market until 2022 at the earliest. Also, these processors will arrive with the LGA1700 socket and a very different internal architecture. These would be the first processors to integrate efficient cores and power cores.
05/08/2020 - They would arrive with a maximum configuration of 8 BIG cores and 8 SMALL Cores
These new Intel processors are based on a new structure of efficient cores and power cores. An architecture quite similar to the big.LITTLE used by ARM for its SoCs. A new core configuration that would be based on the company's 10nm lithography.
Alder Lake is expected as an innovative processor design and one that leaves behind the monolithic design used today. This monolithic design is causing major problems for Intel, causing delays in the manufacture of processors with their most modern lithographs. In addition, the design of processors with monolithic DIE represents a strong outlay in terms of R + D + i.

21/07/2020 - Alder Lake will use Core cores and Atom cores in a hybrid system
Alder Lake is finally 'confirmed', according to a company employee, that it will be based on a modular design. These processors would have high-performance Core cores and high-efficiency Atom cores. They would thus be the first desktop processors to use this structure and the second for the company after Lakefield.
These new processors would arrive with the LGA1700 socket and would support PCIe 4.0 and DDR5. They would also implement iGPU Gen12, although it is not confirmed.

17/07/2020 - Your iGPU can be seen at SiSoft Sandra
Just yesterday, without going any further, new data was leaked regarding Intel Alder Lake processors. Said information pointed to the number of Small Cores and Big Cores that different families would have. These new processors will integrate Intel Xe graphics, of which we know quite little. Through a leak of some engineering model of these processors we have learned data from the new iGPUs.
Through SiSoftware Sandra we know some data of an Intel HD Graphics that will be integrated into the Intel Alder Lake-S. This integrated graph will have 32 Execution Units or what is the same, 256 Shading Units. Perhaps the most interesting thing about this graph is that it will work at a frequency of 500MHz and using 6.3GB of DDR4 RAM. This Intel HD Graphics is possibly an engineering sample, so the data can vary greatly.
16/07/2020 - Possible configuration Intel Alder Lake processors
Intel's Alder Lake processors will hit the market in 2021 at the earliest, with a launch scheduled for 2022. Until now, we were familiar with Alder Lake-S for desktop computers. Now the Alder Lake-P of the Atom Server family and the Alder Lake-M called Sharkbay have also been leaked for the mobile market. These processors will arrive in the following configurations:
- Intel Alder Lake-S: up to 8 Big Cores + 8 Small Cores + GT1
- Alder Lake-P: 6 BIG CORES + 8 SMALL CORES + GT2 | 2 Big Cores + 8 Small Core + GT2
- Alder Lake-M: 2 Big Cores + 8 Small Core + GT2
Indicate that the Small Cores would be the cores of high efficiency and reduced performance. The Big Cores are the power cores, which will provide the system with performance and will have a higher consumption than the Small Cores. This core configuration is quite similar in principle to ARM big.LITTLE SoCs.
[irp]13/07/2020 - Intel Hybrid Technology will be implemented that adds support for AVX-512
New documentation regarding Intel Alder Lake processors, reveals that they integrate Intel Hybrid Technology. This technology will support AVX-512, TSX-NI and FP16 instructions with some restrictions. It will only be available when Big Cores come into play, not when Small Cores are used.
29/06/2020 - LGA1700 socket confirmed for Intel Alder Lake-S processors
Internal documentation highlights that Alder Lake-S processors will use the Intel LGA1700 socket. The socket change, among other things, would be due to the 10nm lithography and the implementation of DDR5 support. Although not confirmed, these Intel processors could support the PCI Express 5.0 interface.
