Intel "Tiger Lake" Microarchitecture Features HEDT-like Cache Rebalancing?

[erek]

With its "Skylake" microarchitecture, Intel significantly re-balanced the cache hierarchy of its HEDT and enterprise multi-core processors to equip CPU cores with larger amounts of faster L2 caches, and lesser amounts on slower shared L3 cache. The company retained its traditional cache balance for its mobile and desktop processor derivatives. This could change with the company's "Tiger Lake" microarchitecture, particularly the "Willow Cove" CPU cores they use, according to a Geekbench online database listing for a prototype quad-core "Tiger Lake-Y" mobile processor.

Well, we will have to wait and see if this does anything. If these processors are just a rehash of Skylake with enhanced cache then they are doing nothing to correct the security flaws in the architecture. I really can't get excited about anything from Intel until it's a completely brand new, ground up, design. This just sounds like more of the same bullshit and Intel punching out garbage on a failed process node that was supposed to have a shitload more density than anything in the 7nm range from other Fabs, yet it won't because that's why Intel has had so many issues with 10nm in the first place.

This is all smoke and mirrors until the tech actually manifests.
