The new CPU appeared with 16 cores and 24 threads

With the processors of the Alder Lake S series, Intel will turn the processor landscape upside down in the second half of 2021.

Alter Lake S CPUs for the LGA socket will use two different cores of the x86 architecture for the first time, based on a principle similar to the Big Little CPUs of the ARM architecture. With energy saving, especially efficient cores and powerful cores, CPUs generally have to deliver even better performance.

A processor of the Alder Lake S series listed on the Geekbench is listed with 16 cores and 24 threads, indicating that not all CPU cores with hyper-threading technology can process up to two threads per hub, but only eight high-performance cores are fitted with SMT, and eight cores without SMT Do.

A maximum of 17.6 GHz should indicate a reading error in the boost mode listed on Geekbench, with a base frequency of 1.38 GHz the 2.2 GHz increase seems more realistic than reality. With 996 points on the single-core benchmark and 6,931 points on the multi-core benchmark, it is not possible to read more accurate speculations about the performance of processors with higher clock rates.
