Leaked Intel Roadmap Reveals More Efficient Chip Than M1 Pro and Max to Launch Within Two Years (2024)

FAQs

What is the Intel processor roadmap for 2024? ›

Intel says Arrow Lake processors will arrive in the second half of 2024 and debut the Intel 20A process. Given that Arrow Lake is set to arrive later this year, we already know quite a bit about the processors. Intel says they'll use a the new LGA 1851 socket, which it will support through 2026.

Intel vs M1: Battery life

After running these tests, the difference in battery life between the Intel Mac vs the M1 Macs was impressive. For example, the Intel Mac had only 25% battery life remaining, while the M1 still had 72%. This perfectly sums up the spirit of the M1: High power with increased energy efficiency!

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger launched Intel Foundry and a roadmap for process technology that'll manufacture artificial intelligence processors for internal and external customers. The bet is that Intel Foundry can be the manufacturer for a wide range of AI systems. The goal is to be the No. 2 foundry by 2030.

Intel or AMD processor(x86) based on CISC architecture . where as Apple silicon chip is based on ARM(advanced RISC machine) which is more power & performance efficient that any Intel or AMD based system.

More details of Intel's fastest ever desktop processor have emerged from benchmark database OCCT and the Core i9-14900KS looks set to hit a staggering 6.2GHz out of the box, making it the fastest CPU the company has made for desktop PCs.

While Intel's initial timeline had chip-making starting next year, construction on the project's manufacturing facilities now isn't expected to be finished until late 2026, according to people involved in the project.

However, in general, the Apple M1 processor has been found to perform similarly to an Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processor in most tasks. In some cases, the M1 processor may even outperform these processors due to its efficient architecture and integrated graphics.

The integrated graphics in Apple Silicon are based on the company's in-house design and are known for their high performance and efficiency. It's generally acknowledged that Apple's integrated graphics offer significant performance gains over Intel's integrated graphics.

You're welcome! There are a handful of Intel Macs that can beat the original M1 MacBook Air, but they all appear to be (desktop) Mac Pros and iMac Pros. Compared to the now "antique" i9 in the last Intel-based iMac, the M1 wins hands down.

TSMC produces the world's smallest, densest, and most power-efficient chips, and it's currently one to two generations ahead of Intel's foundries in the "process race" to manufacture smaller chips. AMD's usage of TSMC's foundries notably helped it pull ahead of Intel with more advanced CPUs.

Why is Intel so far behind? ›

While AMD and Nvidia were making leaps and bounds in technology, Intel was caught flat-footed. Their transition to smaller architecture sizes was slow, and they failed to capitalize on the chip shortage, unlike their competitors.

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has confirmed for the first time that two of the company's upcoming processors will be made using TSMC's 3nm processes.

Apple's new laptops and desktop uses its own chips, instead of processors from Intel. Apple is making the move because it already makes its own phone and tablet processors, and it says it can improve laptop battery life.

That change has also opened Apple up to a new set of risks. Its most advanced silicon is primarily manufactured by one vendor, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.

The announcement was made during that year's WWDC Keynote Address. At the time Apple announced the transition, Jobs attributed the switch to a superior product roadmap that Intel offered, as well as an inability to build products envisioned by Apple based on the PowerPC product roadmap.

Meteor Lake is Intel's codename for the first generation of Intel Core Ultra mobile processors, and was officially launched on December 14, 2023. It is the first generation of Intel mobile processors to use a chiplet architecture which means that the processor is a multi-chip module.

Sierra Forest Xeon 6 processors are set to launch in Q2 of 2024, which include a chip featuring 288 E-cores. It will be the first product to adopt this new branding, which is designed to ease customer navigation between models. Meanwhile the Xeon 6 P-core Granite Rapids processors will come later.

Introducing the AI PC with Intel Core Ultra processors

This new PC experience arrives with the upcoming Intel Core Ultra processors, code-named Meteor Lake, featuring Intel's first integrated neural processing unit, or NPU, for power-efficient AI acceleration and local inference on the PC.

Intel released Xeon and mobile processors in late 2023, with desktop PC processors using Intel 4 scheduled for 2024. Intel's 4 process technology is a 7-nm geometry process, which Intel claims will increase clock speeds by 20% for the same power usage over Intel's 7 process (10 nm).
