    Starting to look like M2 will be based on the A16, not A15

    Posted: 12 Apr 2022 11:47 PM PDT

    • M2 Pro/Max is reported to have 12 CPU (8/4) cores instead of 10 (8/2), which hints at a newer architecture than A15. A15 did not have an increase in CPU cores.
    • Usage of 4nm, which is what the A16 is expected to use. This means both M2 and A16 will be using the exact same node, which probably helps in development and testing.
    • 2-year update cadence to M series seems likely at this point. Basically, M series will always skip one generation of the A series. M3 would be based on A18. Makes a ton of sense because these chips are much more complicated to design and manufacture than the A series. Pretty hard to design a new M Ultra every year.
    • All rumors point to a second-half 2022 launch for the new M2 Macbook Air which aligns with the 2-year cadence.
    • The A series could be adopting a cycle of a big performance increase generation followed by an efficiency generation. A14 was a big perf increase. A15 was mostly an efficiency increase + higher GPU core count. M series might always be based on the big perf increase generation.

    Also note that the M2 GPU cores are rumored to increase by 2, following the A15 increase. This likely means the A16 will not have an increase in GPU cores. Instead, the A16 could see an increase in CPU cores based on the M2 rumor.

    How would Comet Lake have performed if its L3 cache was doubled or tripled instead of Intel launching Rocket Lake?

    Posted: 12 Apr 2022 07:59 PM PDT

    Given how an 8-core Rocket Lake die was about 30% larger than a 10-core Comet Lake die, what if the extra die space was used for more L3 cache?

    https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-rocket-lake-delidded

    By way of reference, using similar measuring techniques, the 10-core Comet Lake chips are around 22.4mm × 9.2mm, or 206.1 mm2. (Intel didn't disclose the actual die size.) That makes Rocket Lake about 34 percent larger than Comet Lake, despite having two fewer cores.

    A 10900K with doubled L3 cache or a 10700K with tripled L3 cache going up against the 11900K would have been interesting.

    As a historical comparison, back in 2015, Intel launched desktop Broadwell CPUs with 128MB eDRAM L4 cache (significantly slower than SRAM cache): https://www.anandtech.com/show/9320/intel-broadwell-review-i7-5775c-i5-5675c/2

    The i7-5775C had a base clock rate of 3.3 GHz, turboed up to 3.7 GHz and a 65W TDP. The i7-4790K it was being compared against had a base clock rate of 4 GHz, turboed up to 4.4 GHz and a 88W TDP.
