Intel has accelerated its efforts for the next generation Arrow Lake series processors that it will launch in 2024. According to the latest information, Intel will change the core structure with Arrow Lake processors.
Core design changes in Intel Arrow Lake series
Intel switched to a hybrid CPU architecture, first with Alder Lake and then with Raptor Lake. In this context, high-performance P-cores were located in one region and efficient E-cores in another. This allowed the cores on the chip to work in isolation.
However, with Arrow Lake, Intel aims to distribute the E-core among the P-core. Instead of independent clusters, it will place E-cores between P-core clusters. According to the company, this reorganization will reduce latency between different core types.
By placing the E-cores between the P-cores, the “communication” between the cores will increase. Processes from the E-core cluster are expected to be more easily distributed to the P-core. This will also reduce the thread latency between P-core and E-core.
On the other hand, Intel’s Thread Director technology tries to distribute workloads as much as possible on energy-efficient E-Cores. However, if the performance demand on the processor increases, threads are switched to P cores.
Intel also expects the distribution of E-cores to make thermal management easier. This can prevent processors from heating up, especially in games.
