The SiSoftware benchmark database regularly becomes a source of information about certain processors that have not yet been officially presented. This time, a record was found here about testing a new Intel chip of the Tiger Lake generation, for the production of which the long-suffering 10-nm process technology is used.
To begin with, we recall that Intel announced the release of Tiger Lake processors at a recent meeting with investors. Of course, no details about these chips were reported. However, the appearance of an entry about one of them in the SiSoftware database indicates that at least Intel already has Tiger Lake samples and is actively developing them.
The processor tested in SiSoftware has only two cores and extremely low clock speeds. The base frequency is only 1,5 GHz, while in Turbo mode it rises to just 1,8 GHz. The chip has 2 MB of L256 cache, and each core has XNUMX KB of LXNUMX cache.
Judging by the characteristics, this is only an engineering sample of the Tiger Lake processor for compact mobile devices with minimal power consumption. Perhaps this will be one of the youngest chips in the new generation, belonging to the Core-Y, Celeron or Pentium family. At the moment, it is not even known if it has support for Hyper-Threading.
As a reminder, 10nm Tiger Lake processors should follow the long-awaited Ice Lake processors in 2020 and become their successors. They will be built on the fresh Willow Cove architecture and will receive integrated graphics with Intel Xe architecture, that is, the twelfth generation. Initially, new items will appear in the mobile segment.
