Due to shifting demand, Intel has discontinued its Foveros-based Lakefield processors which were heralded for their “hybrid technology” when they were first unveiled back in 2018.
At that time, the chip giant positioned Lakefield and the Foveros technology powering these processors as an answer to Arm s big.LITTLE because these chips have one main CPU core paired with several lower-power cores.
Specifically Lakefield processors feature one 10nm Sunny Cove CPU core paired with four Tremont Atom-based cores. While the bigger Sunny Cove core is used to tackle heavy workloads that require a lot of power, the Tremont cores are used to more efficiently handle background tasks.
