Small cores of future Intel processors will be able to run at very high frequencies

As you know, at least the next two generations of Intel desktop processors will not increase the number of large cores.

Small cores of future Intel processors will be able to run at very high frequencies

But the number of small ones will increase. Already in Raptor Lake this year there will be 16 small cores, and in Arrow Lake their number will increase to 32.

As it became known, in addition, their frequency will also increase. And significantly. If the Core i9-12900K has a maximum small core frequency of 3.9 GHz, then the next generation of these cores will be able to operate at frequencies above 4.5 GHz.

True, one nuance remains unclear here. The source talks about the frequency of the next generation Intel Atom cores. There are two options here. Either the next generation refers to Raptor Lake processors, that is, we mean the implementation of small cores in the next generation of Intel Core. Or they mean just small cores on the new architecture. And then there is no talk of Raptor Lake, since the architecture of small cores will not change in these processors. In this case, the frequency will increase already in the Meteor Lake generation.
