Resource Videocardz reported that he received an interesting photo from a reliable source. The picture shows some data about the upcoming Rocket Lake processors. There are quite normal solutions with 6 and 8 cores, as well as with 12 and 16 threads. But there is also a version with 8 cores and 12 threads.
This may be a simple typo, but it is possible that we are talking about half-threading. How this will be implemented is unclear. However, it is possible that we are talking about a heterogeneous processor, which will be built according to the big.LITTLE scheme.
In this case, it is possible that the “small” cores will not receive multithreading, while the “large” ones – on the contrary. In any case, it’s worth waiting for confirmation from other sources.
The leak also mentions processors. Comet lake refresh. Apparently, the company plans to update the younger models of Core i3 and Pentium.
