12/15/2023 0 Comments Intel tick tock schedule after skylakeThis story was first published in The Australian Business Review. Kaby Lake: successor to Skylake, released in August 2016, broke Intels Tick-Tock schedule due to delays with the 10 nm process. This is apparently due to the technical challenge of reducing 14 nanometre architecture even further to 10 nm cited for the Kaby Lake processors due now in 2017. So when we finally get Canonlake, there will be two more. More 6th generation Skylake processors are expected to be released later.Īlas, Intel’s tick-tock schedule introduced in 2007 looks like faltering with the chipset maker saying it will continue with 14 nanometre architecture in 2016, representing two tocks in a row. Thats Intels plan for the future: no more Tick-Tock, its now Process-Architecture-Optimisation. The processors are part of a new Z170 chipset that Intel says offers a 40 per cent higher speed in the flow of data internally. Intel’s fifth generation processors known as Broadwell, released last year, and this year’s new Skylake processors use 14 nanometre architecture. Sandy Bridge used 32 nanometre architecture. It was used in the then new line of ultrabooks. Skylake represents the 'tock' of Intels tick-tock update cycle. The release ups the competition against chipset rival AMD which has prided itself as offering processors specifically suited to gamers.Īs for tick and tock: the computing world thought microprocessors were small when Intel released its Sandy Bridge processor in 2011. It’s one of the world’s largest computer and video games events. The announcement coincides with Gamescom underway in Cologne, Germany. The new processors will support Windows 10 as well as Windows 7 and 8.1. Intel says the six generation processors offer up to 30 per cent better performance than a 3-year-old gaming PC, and up to 10 per cent better performance than one from last year. They are the first mainstream Intel desktop processors to support DDR4 memory. It says for the average consumer, the new processors offer fast conversion of video files for portable media players or online sharing. Intel says general consumers benefit too. The processors offer broader forms of overclocking, where gamers in particular ramp up a computer processor’s speed. Continuing to follow their Tick/Tock release schedule Skylake runs on that same process node but is their new architecture. The tick-tock model, which has been in use for more than a decade, is no longer sustainable, as Intel announced in summer 2015. Broadwell, then Skylake: Intel’s tick-tock model was supposed to move on from there to the 10-nm. The company cites a potential market of 1.2 billion PC gamers globally. Intel’s Kaby Lake, the company’s 7th-generation Core microprocessor, was never meant to be. Both processors will be available through Intel resellers as of today.
