Intel Beast Lake: 10 performance cores and huge clocks to beat AMD's X3D CPUs?
Rumor has it that Beast Lake CPUs, potentially due in 2026, could offer monstrous performance for single-core and take the gaming crown from X3D.

MLID tells us that the purported Beast Lake silicon is in early development - it might arrive in 2026, at the earliest - and the leaker isn't even sure if it's a new architecture or just some kind of "side project" we're told.
Beast mode?
Even if Intel is mulling over such a Beast Lake range, as MLID contends, we should remember that it's only experimenting with the idea at the moment, so there's always the possibility that this will all come to nothing and end up scrapped.
MLID also mentioned Panther Lake, the next-gen after Arrow Lake, and how this is supposedly now using a new architecture for the performance cores (Cougar Cove, which may mean it's renamed to Cougar Lake, in fact).
Whatever the case here, we can expect a big performance uplift compared to Arrow Lake - and the latter is already promising seriously major gains itself.
MLID reckons Panther (or Cougar) Lake will offer a 30% to 40% increase for single-core performance, and 15% to 20% for multi-core, in comparison to Arrow Lake. That's with the flagship, which is likely to be an 8+32 (performance/efficiency) configuration processor in both cases for these generations (although Arrow Lake may yet be 8+16 at the top-end).
Intel wants to get Panther Lake to market in good time, we're told, and the schedule calls for a late 2025 release, so a year after Arrow Lake which is due late in 2024. Panther Lake will use the same socket as Arrow Lake, so it won't require a motherboard upgrade.
Overall, Intel's strategy for desktop CPUs is to have these massive gains in future generations down the road - Arrow Lake, Panther/Cougar Lake, and maybe Beast Lake - while settling for treading water in the near term with a simple Raptor Lake refresh which won't be very exciting later this year (Q3 in theory).

=============================================

Intel秘密研發超大核:單核性能原地起飛!
Meteor Lake、Arrow Lake、Lunar Lake、Panther Lake、Nova Lake……Intel未來產品的這些代號,相信大家都聽說過,現在又有了新的變化。
比如說Panther Lake,原本規劃在2025年底發布,應該是第16代Core,封裝介面延續Arrow Lake 15代的LGA1851。
不過根據模擬測試,Panther Lake IPC性能提升幅度還不到10%,即便疊加更高頻率也不理想,因此已經被取消,改為使用Arrow Lake Refresh臨時頂替——怎麼這麼熟悉的操作?
但是,轉機又來了,Intel還在開發新的Cougar Cove大核心架構,對比Arrow Lake預計可帶來30-40%的單核性能提升,非常理想。
同時,同樣的8+32大小核心組合下,Cougar Cove也可以帶來15-20%的多核性能提升。
因此,Intel可能會推出一代新的“Cougar Lake”,來取代Panther Lake。
現階段,Intel正在投入大量資源全力推進Arrow Lake,意圖利用它奪回性能王者地位,Cougar Lake則有望在此基礎上攀登新的高峰。
然後還有一個新的名字“Beast Lake”,正處於早期研發階段,會全力提升單核性能,為此正在研究多種方案。
比如說全新的“超大核”(Extra Big Core),或者在旗艦桌面型號上首次使用超過8個大核心。
如果使用超大核,也有多種規劃,比如直接做10個超大核,或者4個超大核+32個小核,後者的可能性更高。 |
