We've seen the last of Intel's 14nm Skylake architecture with the release of Comet Lake CPUs with the chip giant now focusing on next-gen cores to be utilized in its upcoming desktop and mobility families. Skylake lasted several generations and got various iterations on refined 14nm processes but the next-generation 10nm and 7nm lineups are going to bring incremental IPC gains. Rumors on what to expect from Intel's next-generation CPU cores have been posted by MebiuW who just a few days ago gave us a first look at AMD's next-generation Warhol & Raphael desktop processors.

The rumor doesn't actually come from MebiuW but from a Weibo user in China who has seemingly hinted at the IPC gains of Intel's next-generation cores. We know that after Skylake, Intel's roadmap includes three major core updates. These include Sunny Cove which is featured on Ice Lake CPUs, Willow Cove which will be featured on the upcoming Tiger Lake CPUs & lastly, we have the Golden Cove cores which will be featured on Alder Lake CPUs. There's also the post-core-architecture CPUs that will feature the Ocean Cove cores and are due for 2022-2023.
