Intel has been a leading player in the technology world for years, but the competition between it and its competitors is getting fiercer. In this serious competitive environment, the first information about the new generation Royal x86 microarchitecture, which will be Intel’s biggest weapon, has been leaked. It is claimed that Intel’s new architecture is a project initiated by famous engineer Jim Keller and will be used in the Nova Lake platform to be released in 2026. Jim Keller had previously achieved great success with AMD’s Zen architecture, so the Royal Core project is of great interest. Here are the details…

Intel’s new Royal x86 microarchitecture: Will it revolutionize performance?

Intel has been using the “ Cove ” core name since the 12th generation Alder Lake series . For example, the new Core Ultra 200V (Lunar Lake) laptop processor and the Core Ultra 200 (Arrow Lake) desktop processor use the Lion Cove microarchitecture. However, the company will be leaving the long-standing Cove naming system behind and pursuing a performance-oriented strategy with this new architecture.

One of the most notable changes is the abandonment of hyper-threading technology. Hyper-threading is known as a technology that allows a core to perform two tasks at the same time. However, Intel plans to leave this technology behind with its new architecture, offering higher single-core performance and energy efficiency. Instead, Intel is said to have developed a new structure called rentable units , which will distribute the tasks of the cores in a more optimized way.

In addition to Royal Core, Intel is also developing another architecture called Cobra Core . Cobra Core is said to reuse hyper-threading technology and offer higher multitasking performance with four cores capable of processing.

These projects have the potential to make a big splash not only in Intel’s competition with AMD, but in the tech world in general. However, we’ll have to wait a few more years to see the results of the projects.
