Ice Lake is Intel's codename for the CPU microarchitecture to be manufactured on the 10 nm node that is expected to replace the Coffee Lake, Whiskey Lake, Amber Lake and Cannon Lake microarchitectures in 2020, representing the architecture step in Intel's "process-architecture-optimization" model.[2][1][3][4] Ice Lake will be produced on the second generation of Intel's 10 nm process, 10 nm+, becoming Intel's second microarchitecture to be manufactured on the 10 nm process following the limited launch of Cannon Lake in 2018.[2][5][6][7][8]

Ice Lake is expected to feature a Gen 11 GPU microarchitecture, support for LPDDR4 memory and AVX-512 x86 instructions, and in-silicon mitigations for the Meltdown and Spectre hardware security vulnerabilities.[9][10][11][12]

The Power Stamp Alliance released some information about Ice Lake hardware and packaging in April 2018.[13]

Features

  • 10 nm+ transistors
  • Gen 11 GPU, include 64 EU and 512 ALU
  • DisplayPort 1.4a & Display Stream Compression (DSC)
