MLID dropped his Alderlake & Sapphire Rapids information. Mostly tallies with existing rumours but there is some interesting information in here:

I can see at least one mistake on SPR, so grain of salt, and one thing I'm very sure is wrong. (The mistake I can see is a positive thing for SPR, that is to say what MLID is suggesting here undersells it... but that's the most I can say).
Also not 100% sure about PCIe Gen 5 on ADL.
Do you know why the industry is moving so quickly to PCIe Gen 5, when it took so long for it to move to PCIe Gen 4?I can see at least one mistake on SPR, so grain of salt, and one thing I'm very sure is wrong.

"managing, managing, managing"The reason why Apple switched. The Francois Piednoel version. Info around the 5 minute mark.

Also GenZ will run over PCIe 5.0 Physical layer, (for AMD at least, I assume it will be similar for Intel)Need it for CXL.

Acer did announce the Swift 5 "with Xe Graphics", although it doesn't mention Tiger Lake or 11th Gen by name. Interestingly it still has MX350 as an option.

Nvidia's reputation is king in the graphics world, and Intel is still in the CPU world.
I won't be surprised if they decide to forego RKL-U given how much less efficient the 14nm node is compared to 10nm+. Ideally, we will see 8 core TGL-H systems in 1H2021.The text is ambiguous enough that it could mean that there are Tiger Lake models and then there are Rocket Lake+MX350 models.
From Tom's Hardware:
Acer is refreshing its Swift 5 with Intel’s Tiger Lake processors and integrated Xe graphics. The new laptop will come out in North America in October, starting at $999.99 (as well as €1,099 in Europe and RMB 6,999 in China).

Is it that much more power efficient though? Not sure we have seen any data to prove that.I won't be surprised if they decide to forego RKL-U given how much less efficient the 14nm node is compared to 10nm+. Ideally, we will see 8 core TGL-H systems in 1H2021.

I am going off of this graphic that Intel provided, but we need empirical evidence for this, which I hope we will see soon with the release of TGL-U.
Hard to say anything from that graph though, since the scale is not show on the y axis.I am going off of this graphic that Intel provided, but we need empirical evidence for this, which I hope we will see soon with the release of TGL-U

I still go off of this image from Intel (even though the dates are now off):I am going off of this graphic that Intel provided, but we need empirical evidence for this, which I hope we will see soon with the release of TGL-U
