It is noted that this will be the largest change in the processor socket since the LGA115x. Indeed, in the new version, the chips themselves and sockets for them will become larger. This is probably a challenge for the future, since an increase in chips will allow them to accommodate more cores and systems.
In addition, Alder Lake-S chips will be the first “blue” CPUs, which are made using a 10-nanometer process technology. This will slightly reduce the backlog from AMD.
Finally, new processors should allegedly get a build of powerful cores Golden cove and energy efficient Gracemont on one substrate. Although it is not yet clear why desktop PCs have such a core allocation scheme. It is appropriate for battery power in mobile solutions, but not on desktop PCs.
The release date of Intel Alder Lake-S has not yet been specified, as well as the exact specifications.
