Intel’s Surprise Ryzen Killer: Alder Lake Hybrid Processors Offer Biggest Performance Leap In 14 Years

by

If what Intel told me this week is true, it could have a killer CPU in the wings that will offer the biggest leaps in architecture and performance we’ve seen since the revolutionary Core micro-architecture back in 2006.

After its virtual Architecture Day held online for journalists this week, I spoke to Raja M. Koduri, Intel’s senior vice president, chief architect and general manager of its Architecture, Graphics, and Software divisions about a range of topics, which you can read more about in this article. However, the main takeaway is that it’s Alder Lake CPUs, which are currently penciled in for a 2021 release, could massively improve the company’s fortunes, especially on desktop PCs.

Intel Core i9-10900K Review

by

The Core i9-10900K is the tip of Intel’s spear in its newest 10th Generation Core (“Comet Lake-S”) lineup of desktop CPUs. As a top-of-the-line 10-core processor (the estimated selling price is $488 for the bare chip), the Core i9-10900K posts great scores in gaming with our standard test GPU (even setting a record one title, Counter Strike: Global Offensive). But it doesn’t quite match up with AMD’s competing 12-core Ryzen 3900X in content-creation and highly multi-threaded tasks. The need for a new motherboard to upgrade to Comet Lake-S only adds to the real-world cost of the Core i9-10900K, and its thermal demands left us wanting.

They enable you to take something apart and put it back together (in the case of tools such as screw drivers etc.). Test equipment and tools help you create. Testing also collects data.
