Intel uploaded a number of videos about its foundry business on the YouTube platform yesterday, one of which introduced Intel’s Intel 18A process non-x86 architecture reference SoC, showing Intel’s foundry’s non-x86 manufacturing capabilities.
The reference SoC, called Deer Creek Falls, has a total of 7 CPU cores and adopts a 1+2+4 triple cluster design, including 1 performance core, 2 power-optimized cores, and 4 energy efficiency cores, while integrating PCIe and memory controller IP from the ecosystem.
Intel Foundry conducted two demonstrations on the Deer Creek Falls SoC, including correctly distributing load to the right threads and Intel software tools to optimize load operation efficiency for non-x86 chips produced by Intel Foundry.
In other videos, Intel Foundry also said that its decades of expertise can be used by customers to accelerate system integration and product launch, have the ability to build server, AI, and automotive-level reference verification systems, and have heat dissipation technologies in hot spot dispersion, thermal interface materials, and package-level embedded water cooling.
