Intel Demonstrates 10nm 116 Gbps Transceiver Test Chip on Agilex-I FPGA

Intel on Monday demonstrated a long-reach transceiver test chip operating at 116 Gbps with PAM4 modulation and built on its 10nm process. It complies with the specification for 112G PAM4 transceivers and will be used in next year's Agilex-I series of FPGAs.

Intel said the test chip’s 116 Gbps operation demonstrates the design’s added margin compared to the 112G standard. It supports existing 100, 200 and 40

Intel Alder Lake-S 16-Core Could Bring Hybrid Architecture (big.Little) to Desktop

According to a new, but unverified leak, Intel may be bringing its hybrid architecture from Lakefield to the desktop with Alder Lake-S on 10nm. In an implementation scheme that's known in the smartphone world known as big.Little, it would have eight big and eight small cores.

The leak comes via Twitter user @ momomo_us via Sharkbay , who has often published about unreleased products, but should be treated with caution. Nonetheless, it provides an interesting possibility that big.Little could come
