Intel officially launches ‘most significant' chip lineup sired in Israel
[ToI] Anything outside of China is an improvementSemiconductor giant’s new offerings include ’world’s best gaming processor’; over 1,000 Israeli engineers worked on ’largest-ever’ chip hardware development project Intel on Wednesday officially launched its 12th-generation Intel Core processors, code-named Alder Lake, designed chiefly in Israel and based on a hybrid architecture for PC users. Intel called the new lineup among the "most significant architectural innovations in a generation" when The Times of Israel previewed the processors two months ago. Alder Lake is Intel’s most intelligent client system-on-chip (SoC) architecture, according to the announcement, featuring a combination of Efficient-cores and Performance-cores for faster, better-performing PCs. Alder Lake mobile chips are also in the works. It includes "the world’s best gaming processor," the Core i9 12900K, which Intel said was "the most powerful gaming performance improvement Intel has ever achieved." "We are super proud to share this product with the world. It is a huge development and the first client product that really takes two very complex cores and combines them into the product known as Alder Lake," Guy Shalev, the design manager of Alder Lake desktop processor, told The Times of Israel in August. Raja M. Koduri, chief architect and senior VP of Intel’s architecture, graphics and software division, provided a deft analogy between the design of Alder Lake and that of hybrid cars during an internal presentation. "The fastest racing cars in the world like in Formula One use hybrid technology to achieve maximum performance. In addition to the conventional turbocharged engines that give them top speed and enough range to make it to the finish line on a tank of fuel, they add electric power to blast them out of the corners with acceleration that cannot be achieved with conventional engines," he said. Alder Lake is a high-performance hybrid processor based on two cores that activate depending on which applications are running, he explained, adding that it will "delight billions of PC users."
