Intel’s ‘Unified Core’ Ambitions With Next-Gen CPUs Remain Intact as a New Job Posting Signals Further Progress on the Concept
Wccftech • • technology
Key Points:
- Intel is internally developing a "Unified Core" strategy, aiming to move away from the current Performance (P) and Efficiency (E) core designs to a single microarchitecture platform, as indicated by recent job postings targeting pre-silicon engineering stages.
- The unified core approach is expected to maximize Performance Per Area (PPA) by overcoming scaling limitations in fitting multiple cores onto a chip, potentially improving efficiency and performance density.
- This shift follows Intel's earlier indication that the Arctic Wolf E-cores (expected in Nova Lake) would be the last generation before transitioning to a unified "big core" design.
- Similar strategies have been explored by other manufacturers, such as MediaTek's Dimensity 9300 "All Big Core" CPU and
