Intel Officially Reveals Post-8th Generation Core Architecture Code Name: Ice Lake, Built on 10nm+

In an unusual move for Intel, the chip giant has ever so slightly taken the wraps off of one of their future generation Core architectures. The Ice Lake processor family is a successor to the 8th generation Intel Core processor family. These processors utilize Intel’s industry-leading 10 nm+ process technology. This is an unexpected development as the company has yet to formally detail (let alone launch) the first 10nm Core architecture – Cannon Lake – and it's rare these days for Intel to talk more than a generation ahead in CPU architectures. Intel originally predicted that they would move to 10nm almost a year ago, at the end of 2016 and 2 years after the launch of their 14nm process. But the challenge in managing the technology required to advance to their version of 10nm has been fraught with difficulty.

Intel Atom C3955 Denverton

Key stats for the Intel Atom C3955 series: 16 cores / 16 threads, 2.1GHz. The CPU features 32W TDP. This CPU also features a full 20x high-speed I/O lanes and has 4x10GbE making it top-bin in terms of features for non-QuickAssist parts. These chips are not socketed so end customer pricing will include a motherboard at a minimum. We expect to see pricing of $700 for these in small quantities. Virtualization features such as VT-d and SR-IOV are supported on this generation. For those wondering, the maximum power consumption with 4x 10GbE links we have seen is around 53W but we will publish formal figures with our platform reviews.
