![]() ![]() New design of the existing core on the existing die size. Oh and Devil's Canyon was just a "Haswell Refresh". These are designed with more High Availability features and while they usually have slower cores, they have more of them than the EP line and the system is designed to take hits like a failing DIMM and keep right on going without crashing the OS. XXX-EX is the 2/4/8+ Socket "Big Iron" type server. I call it the poor man's 4S because its not the. XXX-EP4S is a newish 4 Socket design based on the 2 Socket proc. These processors run like 85% of servers in the Enterprise (big companies). In a 'tock' launch, a new microarchitecture is introduced, but the size remains. XXX-EP is the 2 Socket (Dual Processor) Server and High end Workstation processor. When Intel shrunk the 22nm Haswell to a 14nm Broadwell design and added new instructions, that was a 'tick' launch. XXX-E is the Workstation version and is usually half of a. These processors are often $500 to $3000 a piece so Intel is basically using the normal desktop version to flush out any bugs before they put this new design into a server. Moving to a 3-year cadence makes much more sense as Intel has already been slipping into a 2.5 year Tick Tock cycle since the launch of Haswell/Haswell. Then some time after that, could be months or sometimes an entire year, the server and "Workstation" market get the same new core. So you will see average (<$1000) desktops and most laptops get whatever the new processor is first. In Intel’s Tick Tock strategy of alternating major microarchitecture changes and ports to new process nodes, Palm Cove was meant to be the Tick following Skylake. Oh and to the OP Arty, The Desktop and sometimes Laptop processors from Intel (lately anyway) lead the pack. Palm Cove (also commonly known as Cannon Lake) is Intel’s 10 nm die shrink of the Skylake core. This means Die Shrink but usually Same socket as prior gen This means new Architecture and usually a new socket.Ī t I ck is an Incremental upgrade. New instructions are often added during this cycle stage.Haswell was the Tick, Broadwell will be the TockĪ t O ck is an Overhaul. The new microarchitecture is designed with the new process in mind and typically introduces Intel's newest big features and functionalities. Tock - With each tock, Intel uses the their latest manufacturing process technology from their "tick" to manufacture a newly designed microarchitecture.At this phase, only lightweight features and improvements are introduced. TICK Pentium 4 ( Cedar Mill) Pentium D (Presler) TOCK Core 2 07/2006 11/2008 New microarch.: 256-bit (FP) AVX, ring bus, integrated GPU 01/2011 01/2010 32nm RS 45nm RS 22nm TICK Penryn Family TOCK Nehalem TICK Westmere TOCK Sandy Bridge TOCK Haswell 04/2012 New microarch. During a tick, Intel retrofits their previous microarchitecture to the new process which inherently yielded better performance and energy saving. ![]() Each new process introduces higher transistor density and a generally a plethora of other advantages such as higher performance and lower power consumption. Tick - With each tick, Intel advances their manufacturing process technology in line with Moore's Law.Intel no longer uses this model, instead they use the Process-Architecture-Optimization (PAO). Intels slide deck also explains that its 14nm production, due to begin in 2013 for the Broadwell family, will take place in its D1X Oregon, Fab 42 Arizona and Fab 24 Ireland facilities following. Under the tick-tock scheme roughly every 12-18 months the Intel alternated between "Tick" and "Tock". As reported at The Motley Fool, Intel’s latest 10-K / annual report filing would seem to suggest that the ‘Tick-Tock’ strategy of introducing a new lithographic process note in one product. Tick-Tock was an aggressive development model introduced by Intel for their mainstream microprocessors in 2005 and phased out in 2016 whereby microarchitecture changes were in-sync with their process shrink. ![]()
