Intel Alder Lake - This is What you NEED to Know!

The new CPU architecture from Intel called Alder Lake is right around the corner with the release date of the new processors coming up. Think of this video is a primer about Alder Lake performance and efficient cores (or P-Cores & E-Cores), memory compatibility, CPU cooler mounting, Intel Thread Director, Windows 11 performance, PCIe Gen 5 and MORE!

TIMESTAMPS
0:00 - Intel Alder Lake
0:52 - P Cores vs E Cores
3:46 - Intel Thread Director is IMPORTANT
6:08 - DDR4 vs DDR5 Memory
7:40 - PCIe Gen5 Support Explained
8:21 - New Socket means New COOLERS
10:08 - Alder Lake, To be Continued

It never ceases to amaze me that as a species we’ve been able to take sand (and other materials) and turn it in to something so unbelievably complex.

[AlexTaguchi]

Hybrid architecture is likely the future. Not every thread needs 4+ghz. If the thread director and win11 continue to improve their ability to prioritize workloads, this seems like a great way to be efficient.

[animegeek]

Not worried about building anymore. Prices don’t justify the gaming performance you get these days. Not to mention we just keep getting more power hungry parts which shoots up the energy bill. Just not worth the money in 2021:

[UpstageBeast]

Hmmm interesting. I'm not really a first-adopter kinda person, but will be interested on how other people's experience/ reviews of this new Intel thing pans out.

[sinz]

I could of sworn I heard “demon tree” not “Dimitry”. 😂

[turbofanlover]

Gonna be interesting. I'll wait a few years before I build my new Intel rig, though. Let the tech evolve for a while, I say.

[TREPLE]

Thanks, this was very informative and well presented

[zarent]

The biggest reason why I'm so hyped for Alder Lake is that Intel is finally trying heterogeneous processing that has been introduced by ARM for a decade now in the form of big.LITTLE and now DynamIQ. More combined power for less energy or workload dependant.

[digiboiwand]

I was expecting Mike but then Snows shows up. Trippy Sunday!

“If there is a task it gets assigned to one of these cores”, this is not entirely true. The task is assigned to a thread. That thread can shift cores because of temperature or branching logic in its code. The improvements in instructions per cycle take advantage of multiple cores and where the instructions and data are stored in the CPU’s cache.

[shammyh]

Wanna explain how a Gracemont core can be faster than a Skylake core? Maybe per watt at the low end? But at the high end, that's definitely not possible.

[rna]

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but I feel like this is something of a coded message for anyone who might be tempted to preorder on Oct 27-28 before the actual reviews come in. As one such person though the only thing I really feel like I got out of it was maybe "DDR4's fine right now, don't sweat getting one of the DDR4 boards."

[Wakabatan]

Going to give it a chance once the 14th gen is here lmao

[PPC]

At this point Alder Lake has leaked so much its now an Alder Puddle

[emp]

I don't know... I feel we'll be running in task scheduling between P and E issues at the beginning. This feels like something that needs some time to iron kinks out and do what it's meant to.

[studiovulcan]

Kiinndaaaa down for this. High key really down for this. Please be the next step in computing.

[subrezon]

Intel retained cooler compatibility for over 10 years now, I don't think it's fair to nag them about changing cooler mounts, especially when cooler manufacturers are providing adapter kits for existing coolers.

[d.oconnor]

Oh.. I can see this P and E core scheduler being a huge problem

[DaveModer]

Really good video! Quite technical but completely understandable! 🤓

[mattfarrar]

I had been on an 8700k for a while I was waiting for Alder Lake but having to get a new cooler, ram, Mb CPU and m.2 drive it's just far too much to spend to get the most out of it at the moment so I picked up a 11700k and MB on sale instead.
