Intel ‘Ice Lake’ 10nm PC processor, ‘Lakefield’ hybrid 10nm CPU architecture, Project Athena for advanced laptops with 5G and AI announced

Intel at the CES 2019 announced Ice Lake, next-generation 10nm PC platofrm, Project Athena, an innovation program to deliver a new class of advanced laptops with 5G and artificial intelligence, and previewed a new client platform code-named Lakefield. The Intel 'Ice Lake' mobile PC platform will be the company's first volume 10nm processor built on Intel’s new Sunny Cove CPU microarchitecture detailed last month. Ice Lake is the first platform to feature the all-new Gen11 integrated graphics architecture, support Intel Adaptive Sync technology, enabling smooth frame rates and capable of more than 1 TFLOP of performance for richer gaming and creation experience. It is also the first to integrate Thunderbolt 3 and the new high-speed Wi-Fi 6, based on the 802.11ax standard w as a built-in technology, as well as feature Intel DL Boost instruction sets to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. This promises incredible battery life to enable super-thin, ultra-mobile designs with world-class performance and responsiveness. Devices are expected to ship sometime later this year. The new Intel client platform, code-named 'Lakefield' that was previewed at the event features a hybrid CPU architecture with Intel’s new innovative Foveros 3D packaging technology. It has five cores, combining a 10nm high-performance Sunny Cove core with four Intel Atom ...
