What am I missing? What is the 'small' / 'big' core distinction ? No avx512 (but still vnni?) ? Low number of floating point units? No vectorized fp, but all-in

What am I missing? What is the 'small' / 'big' core distinction ? No avx512 (but still vnni?) ? Low number of floating point units? No vectorized fp, but all-in on integer units?
Is it a pentium m/core save out of the pentium 4 moment? Is there a plan to put more of those small cores together? I mean I'd be pretty interested in a 256 core machine with 'only' skylake per-core performance...
- websg-x 5y agoit small in size，around 1/4 the size of big "Golden Cove" core. Gracemont is a big architecture enhancement over Tremont Core, which is nurtured by the legendary Jim Keller. No avx512, but not skimpy in floating point. The rumor is that Intel "Sierra Forest" will contain huge amount of small cores.
- touisteur 5y agoAh thanks. Although even without so many cores, I got ideas on how to saturate all those new ports. Am I reading that those cores have an awful lot of execution ports? I hope Intel settles down soon to actual product lines I'm having a very hard time predicting anything right now... As are most of the oems we buy from...
- skavi 5y agoAny source on Keller having a significant role on Gracemont?
