Details of ‘Core-1800’ Alder Lake CPU with 16 cores and 24 threads appear

Details have emerged of an engineering sample of a so-called Intel Core-1800 processor. It is a desktop CPU of the Alder Lake generation, which is made at 10nm. The chip has 16 cores and 24 threads and a TDP of 125W.

According to the detailed specifications that Igors Lab has put online, the processor achieves a Turbo Boost of 4.6GHz with up to two cores active. When all eight powerful cores are put to work, that’s 4GHz. The eight Atom cores run at a maximum of 3.4GHz, which is 3GHz when all eight cores are working.

Intel Alder Lake processors consist of powerful Golden Cove cores combined with frugal Atom cores. The former have Hyperthreading, the latter does not. As a result, the number of threads is not double the number of cores.

The processor has a TDP of 125W but also a PL2 limit of 228W. This power can be maintained for a short period of 2.44ms. The 125W PL1 limit is 56 seconds to hold. The values ​​quoted are close to those of current 14nm Rocket Lake processors. The top models of that series have a PL1 of 125W and PL2 of 251W.

It is not clear whether Core-1800 is the final name of the processor. It is a B0 revision, or an early version of an engineering sample. The clock speeds of such processors are usually lower than final products. The name seems to refer to the base clock speed of 1.8GHz, but it could be higher.

Intel has already confirmed at the beginning of this year that the Alder Lake processors will be made at 10nm and will be released later this year. The manufacturer has not released further details, but a lot of information has already leaked out. For example, the processors are known to use a new LGA1700 socket and get support for DDR5 and PCIe 5.0. The processors do not work on current motherboards.
