Two years ago, Intel released a Core i9-9900KS processor, which for the first time achieved an octa-core factory rate of 5.0GHz and controlled the thermal design power consumption at 127W.
And now, the KS series, which disappeared for two years, will return with the 12th generation of Core.
According to VideoCardz, Intel will launch the i9-12900KS model, which is currently being tested with partners.
It is reported that the current 12th generation Core's strongest i9-12900K is 8 large cores and 8 small core designs, with a frequency of 3.2-5.2GHz. According to the news, the i9-12900KS full-core frequency has been increased to 5.2 GHz, but the full core here should refer to the P core, that is, the performance core.
Today's 12900K can only touch 5.2GHz with a single core turbo frequency, the highest is 4.9GHz if the 8 large cores are fully open, and the small core is 3.7GHz when it is fully open.
Of course, as a processor of the KS series, it will of course choose a special physique, and therefore, its maximum power consumption and average power consumption may also increase. In addition, the price is probably around 5500~6000 yuan (the price of i9-12900K is 4999 yuan).
In addition, in a recent interview with the media, Sanjay Natarajan, general manager of Intel's logic process development, confirmed that Intel has confirmed that the EUV lithography process can reach the point of being used for production, and Intel will quickly turn to the process, EUV can simplify many processes, reduce the 30-step process to 3-step operation, and reduce the possibility of error.
Sanjay Natarajan confirmed that Intel's first-generation EUV lithography processor will be shipped in 2023, the desktop version is Meteor Lake, and the server side is Granite Rapids processor.
Regarding the metaverse of the recent fire, Intel has also recently proposed its own unique concept.
Intel summarizes the technical cornerstone of the metacosmum into three layers, the highest of which is the meta-intelligence layer, which provides a unified programming model, open software development tools, and software development libraries to make it easier for developers to deploy complex applications.
In the middle is the meta ops layer, which acts as a computing infrastructure that focuses on providing users with available computing power beyond local computation.
At the bottom is the meta compute layer, which provides the raw computing resources needed to implement the metacosmic experience.
Raja Koduri, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics Division, said in an interview that achieving the imaginative virtual experiences in Avalanche and Player One would require 1,000 times the current level of computing power.
For the past five years, Intel has been quietly working to prepare the computing architecture, which is necessary to build the metaverse, especially to provide Petaflop-level computing power (petaflop-level computations per petaflop) with a latency of less than 10 milliseconds in real-time applications.
