〔記者林薏茹/台北報導〕英特爾擴大先進製程產品佈局,首度將18A製程導入主流PC處理器,並攜手台積電(2330)合作生產新一代Intel Core系列3處理器(代號Wildcat Lake),其中運算晶片採用英特爾18A製程,I/O晶片則由台積電(2330)6奈米(N6)製程生產。英特爾透過晶片面積縮減、封裝架構簡化及平台設計優化,降低先進製程導入主流市場的成本,進一步搶攻主流筆電及邊緣運算商機。
英特爾今(10)日公布新一代處理器架構,展示3款針對代理式AI及企業級工作負載設計的新架構,包含主攻主流個人電腦與邊緣運算的Wildcat Lake、鎖定AI推論市場的GPU D系列(Crescent Island),以及下一代Xeon處理器Diamond Rapids。其中,Wildcat Lake採用Intel 18A製程,結合新一代運算核心、低功耗設計及多晶片封裝,也是英特爾首款採用UCIe介面的處理器。
英特爾表示,過去主流處理器通常採用較成熟的製程,以兼顧效能與成本,但此次Wildcat Lake直接導入最新18A製程,關鍵在於透過精簡運算核心及功能配置,讓運算晶片面積較前一代縮小38%,台積電N6製程生產的I/O晶片面積也縮小15%,藉此降低整體平台成本。
Wildcat Lake封裝架構也同步調整,捨棄原先成本較高的Foveros封裝,改採有機基板多晶片封裝(MCP),將原本3顆晶粒簡化為2顆,並透過UCIe晶片互連技術整合不同晶粒。英特爾指出,新架構可使封裝尺寸縮小,主機板占用面積減少30%,有助於OEM廠商縮小產品設計空間並降低材料成本。
此外,記憶體配置也是降低成本的重要環節。英特爾將記憶體通道由雙通道改為單通道設計,使主機板層數可由8層減少至6層,同時減少記憶體走線、連接器及相關零組件成本。透過運算晶片、I/O晶片、封裝及記憶體配置等多方面調整,讓18A先進製程有機會進一步擴大至價格敏感的主流PC市場。
在產品效能方面,Intel Core系列3處理器整合新型CPU核心、Xe3顯示核心及NPU,支援最高40 TOPS的平台AI運算效能,其中NPU最高達17 TOPS。英特爾公布的測試數據顯示,相較五年前的電腦,新處理器單執行緒效能最高提升47%、多執行緒效能提升41%,GPU AI效能最高提升2.8倍。
除了主流筆記型電腦,Wildcat Lake也將應用範圍延伸至機器人、智慧建築、銷售時點情報系統(POS)終端及智慧計量設備等邊緣運算場景,透過兼顧效能、AI算力及能源效率,擴大產品應用市場。
