Wildcat Lake (WCL) Specs

Intel Wildcat Lake (WCL) is upcoming mobile SoC replacing Raptor Lake-U. WCL consists of 2 tiles: compute tile and PCD tile. It is true single die consists of CPU, GPU and NPU that is fabbed by 18-A process. Last time I checked, PCD tile is fabbed by TSMC N6 process. They are connected through UCIe, not D2D; a first from Intel. Expecting launching in Q1 2026.

As Hot Chips 34 starting this week, Intel will unveil technical information of upcoming Meteor Lake (MTL) and Arrow Lake (ARL), new generation platform after Raptor Lake. Both MTL and ARL represent new direction which Intel will move to multiple chiplets and combine as one SoC platform.

MTL also represents new compute tile that based on Intel 4 process which is based on EUV lithography, a first from Intel. Intel expects to ship MTL mobile SoC in 2023.

ARL will come after MTL so Intel should be shipping it in 2024, that is what Intel roadmap is telling us. ARL compute tile will be manufactured by Intel 20A process, a first from Intel to use GAA transistors called RibbonFET.

No one said Intel will be a leader but it'll be much closer this time, within 10%. That's the whole point. SPR is their weakest point in servers.
Intel is all in, two big dies glued together with interposer - thats pretty much all they could do without minding expenses and they are still losing to Amd cheap small chiplet products. Intel is so deep in shit they should sell whole server division to save rest of them.

What threat? Intel dictates the path that x86 vector-ISA will follow.
This AMDs dominance is due to SW stack matured by Intel and the community if MI300 could run cuda nvidia wouldn't have a moat as Big

There's more to it than simply being able to 'run' CUDA. NVIDIA literally set the larger trends that were ultimately adopted in GPGPU computing.

Their current success is a continuation of that.
Why else would OpenCL be nonexistent today?

An analogy with Raytracing in video games: RT games are dime a dozen these days. They are all based on DX12. Because it's being pushed by Microsoft.

There is only one RT game that isn't DX12, and that is Doom Eternal.

On that Royal thread I mentioned the other day. Looks like someone from that team posted in there. First of all what a name lmao. And two in my read they seem to poo poo it a bit (the conversation has more above and below).

Haven't seen the AVX-512 benchmarks for Zen 5, have you? Or the fact that Zen 5 is doing AVX-512 workloads better than Intel without consuming extra power or downclocking like crazy?

Yes, Intel will probably shift the goal with AVX10 but other than introducing few new instructions, they can't do anything to stop legacy AVX-512 workloads from running on Ryzens or Turin Epycs with better thermals and power usage, making them super attractive to anyone depending on these workloads.

You're talking as if Xeons cannot run AVX512. And downclocking with AVX-512 has been solved on Intel since Ice Lake.

The same AVX that AMD Copied they may have better hardware i can bet half of AVX-512 software is intel developed software 🤣 your hardware is sand if it doesn't get supported intel will just use underhanded technique to block them from using intel software they have done it in the past

Don't know a single case of that happening so far. Do enlighten me if there is some AVX-512 software using the same instructions available on AMD hardware but still won't run.

?

Why is the most powerful automobile ICE made by Bugatti when the first to put the ICE in a car was Diamler?
And we can do this all day long then. Point is, Intel lagged behind. They ARE in trouble. Now they don't have enough resources to do both server and client. So what are they gonna choose?

I don't know either 🤣 i will wait for them to pull it you can't change the underhanded technique intel nvidia had used over the years

Ehh tbh I think their lineup for next year with Panther Lake and Clearwater Forest/Diamond Rapids are pretty solid. Much much more compelling on the server side than anything on offer now (including 6th gen Xeon).

AMD has survived worst tbh
AMD wasn't full of absolute morons working against each other.

Intel's teams and management are used to having too much resources at their disposal. AMD has ALWAYS been lean. They don't know what excess is.

Going from having anything available to limited resources doesn't immediately lead to better execution. It will actually cause a lot of teething pains as they discover how to do things with limited budgets and those unable to thrive in such an environment will quit and leave gaping holes in skills and expertise.

Their stupid Meteor Lake hot lots fiasco is a direct result of them thinking they can do anything with their resources, in other words, waste investor money!

Such a shame because on the engineering side they’re quite competent.
