As a veteran "hit worker", my favorite thing to do in my spare time is to surf the Internet. Every other year or so, the computer chip will usher in an overall upgrade, but for many small whites, what is 14 nanometers to 10 nanometers, the main frequency is improved, the architecture is upgraded, and the clouds are in the fog, what is this? In fact, these are quite similar to running a company, to put it bluntly, it is to recruit people, work overtime, and improve management.
Isn't it you every day?
Inside the chip are actually a multitude of transistor switches, and their size is very small, all measured in nanometers. An area the size of a fingernail can hold hundreds of millions of switches. The essence of the chip's work is that these transistors are constantly turned on and off. They are like employees of a company, and only when everyone works hard can the company thrive. Take the 12th generation Intel Core processor to see how to correspond one by one.
Why is the 12th generation Intel Core processor architecture faster
If you want to improve the efficiency of the company, the most direct way is to recruit more people, but the area of the chip "company" is so large, so engineers rack their brains to let each transistor "lose weight" and reduce the size, so that more employees can be recruited. For example, with the advancement of technology, the process of transistors has gradually shrunk from 22 nanometers to 14 nanometers, and from 14 nanometers to 10 nanometers. Of course, it is not enough to recruit people, but also to let them touch the fish less and work more overtime, for the transistor is the frequency of the switch is faster, which is the "main frequency".
Advances in chip production processes
But sometimes, recruiting people to work overtime does not have the expected effect, at this time it is necessary to start from the "management", for the chip, it is "architecture". We have all heard of single-core, multi-core processors, single-core is like a traditional workshop, from beginning to end is a person doing, and multi-core is similar to a modern management system, there are administrative, commercial, operational, several departments synchronous operation, can greatly improve operational efficiency.
For management, it is more important to let the right person do the right thing, someone is a social cow, then let him run the business, there are also people with strong logical thinking, then go to be a programmer. The 12th generation Intel Core processor also uses this, dividing the processor's multi-core into "different functions of the core", such as the i7-12700H to divide up to 14 cores into 6 performance cores (P cores) and 8 energy efficiency cores (E cores).
The P-core is more powerful and specializes in handling tricky, complex projects such as playing large games and video rendering. Although the E-core does not have as strong execution, it can perfectly cope with a large number of daily tasks, such as writing documents, chatting, and listening to songs. The 12th generation Intel Core processor also has an intelligent hardware thread scheduler (ITD) that can properly assign different tasks to different cores. In the 12th generation of Intel Core processors, the performance of each of the 14 cores itself is stronger than that of the 11th generation, and then through such an efficient "execution + allocation", the actual performance of the 12th generation Of Intel Core processors is 70% higher than that of the previous generation, and the energy consumption allocation is more reasonable, so that the battery life is also improved.
If the data processing of the 12th generation Intel Core processor is compared to busy urban traffic, the size of the core can be regarded as "6 special vehicle highways" and "8 ordinary vehicle auxiliary roads" and "6 + 8 architecture" are used together, so that those more urgent and important fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances can pass faster and unimpeded. How exactly does this "transportation hub" work? Just take a look at the animated video below.

How "Wi-Fi 6+ICPS" can make the internet speed fly fast
With competent employees and an efficient organizational structure, it's time to solve the problem of the product line, and only when the raw materials are obtained can the employees process them into commodities, for example: the conveyor belt is the circulation system of this production line. In the data ocean, we have to upload and download all kinds of data, and this conveyor belt is Wi-Fi. If the online game latency is high, the Internet video card into ppt, nine times out of ten is the pot of network speed, in this case, it is difficult for qiao women to cook without rice.
But Inlt does not express concern about this, along with the 12th generation of Intel Core processors released along with the third generation of Evo standards, including "Wi-Fi 6 + ICPS" this pair of good CP, to ensure smooth pipeline. If you compare the ball to data and the transparent pipe to the "conveyor belt", the following video shows how the "Wi-Fi 6 + ICPS" pair of good CP can improve the transmission efficiency.

Wi-Fi 6 itself is equivalent to having more "channels", each "channel" carries a larger cargo capacity, and each conveyor belt performs its own duties to keep production organized. In addition to the original 2.4GHz and 5GHz pipelines, Wi-Fi 6 has also opened a 6GHz "dedicated line", which further avoids the situation of insufficient pipelines. Wi-Fi 6 theoretically reaches a transmission speed of 9.6Gbps, while Wi-Fi 5 has only 6.9Gbps
In addition to excellent production line hardware, Intel also has advanced "automated provisioning technology", which is ICPS (IntelConnectivity Performance Suite), which can dynamically lay out the current network environment and allocate network bandwidth to different software that is more suitable for the current working state of the computer.
ICPS's selection process for Wi-Fi signals
In the initial Wi-Fi signal selection, ICPS will prioritize different network data to ensure the data transmission speed and stability of the most critical software. At the same time, it will also detect the status of different network signal access points, evaluate the five dimensions including signal strength, device congestion, wireless technology, wireless frequency band, and security, and comprehensively score and recommend to users, rather than the traditional priority to use the nearest Wi-Fi hotspot, and intelligently select more stable and better performance access outlets.
The ICPS is sequenced for Wi-Fi signals, and you can see how it evaluates and scores each signal
In practice, users can manually prioritize network traffic in several different application categories to achieve a high degree of intelligence and customization.
Prioritization in ICPS
Computer performance is getting stronger and stronger, maybe in the future...
With the new technological innovation and application, the 12th generation Intel Core processor has advanced a lot in processing speed or network communication. Not only is the strength of the chip hardware further improved, but also through the unique "heterogeneous" architecture to take into account the performance and endurance, the "Wi-Fi 6 + ICPS" scheme also makes the computer in the network transmission faster.
Intel Evo super thin and light, thin and light performance, face value uncompromising endurance
In addition, the Intel Evo certified ultra-thin and light book also has a variety of innovative experiences such as super AI experience, ultra-fast wake-up, ultra-endurance, super-port, and super-speed connection. Not only is the value higher and the portability is higher, but it also allows us to "be one step ahead" in work and entertainment.
The demand for work is rising, and the "organizational structure" of the processor is constantly evolving from single-threaded to multi-threaded, from single-core to multi-core, and now "P/E core". In the future, perhaps we can also see "quantum processors" that use quantum technology to increase computing power, and "brain-like processors" that achieve ultra-low power consumption modeled on the structure of human brain neurons. At that time, it may not only be playing games and watching videos, but the computer may even become a smart butler like "Jarvis"!
