How close are Intel to releasing anything that's a "next gen" core design and not just incremental design change or node shrink? When will Intel's "Zen2" arrive

How close are Intel to releasing anything that's a "next gen" core design and not just incremental design change or node shrink? When will Intel's "Zen2" arrive? Are there any rumors?
- abarringer 6y agoSemiAccurate thinks no where on the horizon. They have a good track record on these things. See this for example. https://www.semiaccurate.com/2020/11/12/intel-delays-a-mainstream-server-platform-once-again/ https://www.semiaccurate.com/2020/11/12/intel-delays-a-mains...
- jeffbee 6y agoNo need to go by rumors. Intel themselves have announced that Ice Lake SP won't happen until mid-2021. They showed off some stuff at SC'20 last month, but since it's possible that Zen3 EPYC "Milan" will launch at the same time or even before, it's impossible to say what their competitive position will look like when they finally ship it.
- acomjean 6y agoHopefully they get it together. Competition is good for us consumers. They could end up being a low end x86 vendor.
- khyryk 6y agoAlder Lake will be a big-little design on 10nm, probably coming in Q3 2021.
- kllrnohj 6y agoOn the server? Unknown. Anywhere at all? They already did - two iterations, in fact. Ice Lake uses the new Sunny Cove uArch and Tiger Lake uses the successor to Sunny Cove called Willow Cove. And Tiger Lake is fine but not great: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16084/intel-tiger-lake-review-deep-dive-core-11th-gen https://www.anandtech.com/show/16084/intel-tiger-lake-review... Rocket Lake is supposedly a "backport" of Sunny Cove to 14nm for desktop, coming Q1 2020.
