Spotted: 24 cores and 32 threads, Intel plans Raptor Lake designs with more E-cores this time.

    Agree 100% with both of u. I actually never liked the idea of hybrid cpus for the desktop but between the 2 options I think this could make a little more sense (depending in if the fab process can be actually tuned to hit max efficiency at different speed lvls)

    guys the little cores are no slouches and they can fit almost4 little cores on the same space they fit a big one , while there are some workloads the little cores are meh at best in the majority of workloads they are more than pulling their weight to add up perfomance . Sadly gaming is not one of the workloads they benefit from little cores , but those are cpus can do a lot more than just gaming.

    I refuse to support Intel.

    Cool story bro....

    Get a job. The best advice you'll ever get ;)

    Intel claims that the e-cores are equal to skylake cores, but they arent... watch hardware unboxed videoes.

    Sadly everyone is buying into all the bs pr... as usual...

    I think it was an Anandtech Alder Lake review where I got it. Their tests showed the E-cores performing at around 50-60% of the P-core performance. Although it changed significantly depending on what kind of process is being run on the core. But of course, I don't have one myself, so I can't speak for it personally.

    Did they test Cinebench with the cheap cores? :p

    They are equal to skylake cores.
    What you are seeing in tests for hardware boxed are issues arising from having high interconnect latency to the ring bus.
    The e cores aren't designed for low latency bound applications.

    Take applications where latency isn't an issue and you see that e-cores perform very well considering all else.

    Which basically confirms what i've been saying the entire time - the E cores are wasted die space on gaming cpu's. We would have been better off with zero E cores, and 2 more P cores. But we already gone over that in another thread :)

    E cores can be great IF and when they work for the with out issues. Those P cores could be use for games while the E cores could be use for background stuff like running the OS and other mundane stuff. we are long ways from that happen.

    Wattage is still out of control even on IDLE these new cpus pull more wattage then none P/E cores design from what i been reading, then again I think Wattage on CPU and GPU have gone to dark side aka use more power to get better performance.

    Correct for gaming there's no benefit(typically). Unless you're a streamer or something where additional cores to offload load off P cores could be beneficial.

    For most games, e cores aren't good. But multi-threaded rendering etc will benefit a lot from additional e-cores.

    Considering how MASSIVE pc gaming is now, you'd think intel could make cpu's specifically configured for it, rather than just giving us the same power saving stuff they made for mobile chips...

    I suspect they don't offer that because it would have better performance than their entry level X CPU which has 10 cores while at the same time consuming at lot more power.

    It again highlights how stuck we are in-terms of transistor size.

    This will probably push the power draw well over 300W. Those P cores are really inefficient compared to AMD's design on Ryzen it seems...

    The upcoming locked Alder Lake cpu's won't have e-cores.
    You want to know what greed looks like .. I'll show you. Greed is AMD leaving the budget cpu market so that they can get higher dividends in the high range market.
