According to the latest job listings, we learn that Intel is planning the return of a unified core architecture, something we haven't been accustomed to in the last few years.
Starting with the 12th Generation "Alder Lake" processors, Intel began selling
hybrid core processors that combine "Golden Cove" performance cores and "Gracemont" efficient cores. These became commonly known as P and E-Cores, which are now being used across Intel products in hybrid designs or P/E-core-only Xeon processors, of course, with the latest designs and iterations.
However, as the new job listings suggest, Intel is assembling a team of engineers for its "
Unified Core" design group that will deliver the new microarchitecture to power the next generation of processors.
With a unification of the P-Core and E-Cores, Intel would have to look into other techniques for separating its product offerings. That can simply be done by using smaller cache capacities, as L2 and L3 cache occupy a huge percentage of the CPU die, just like AMD does with Zen 5 and Zen 5c.
