Month: February 2022

Lenovo’s next gaming phone is expected to be a beast with premium features including a 6.92 inch AMOLED display with a 144 Hz refresh rate and 720 Hz touch-sampling rate, dual USB-C ports, active cooling, and optional accessories including detachable game controllers.

Now it looks like the Lenovo Legion Y90 could also be the first phone to feature UFS 3.1 and SSD storage paired in a RAID 0 configuration for faster speeds.

Lenovo has posted a short teaser video to Chinese social media site Weibo confirming that the phone will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and LPDDR5 memory, as well as that dual storage system with a RAID 0 configuration that the company says improves random write performance by 50 percent.

There are some down sides with RAID 0 storage – there’s no fault tolerance or redundancy, so if one drive fails it can take the entire storage array down with it, resulting in complete loss of all your data. But for as long as it’s working, you should get a speed boost. And to be fair, most phones have just a single storage chip, which means that all your eggs are usually in one basket anyway.

More details should be available later this month – Lenovo plans to officially unveil the Legion Y90 in China on February 28, 2022. The phone will likely be called the Lenovo Legion Phone 3 Elite or Legion Phone 3 Pro if and when it goes on sale outside of China.

Intel’s 12th-gen Core processors based on Alder Lake architecture are just starting to ship, but the company is already starting to talk about its next-gen chips… and the chips after that, and all the new chips coming in the next few years.

During an event for investors this week, Intel painted a broad roadmap for what to expect from the company’s upcoming Raptor Lake (2022), Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake(2023 – 2024), and Lunar Lake (2024+) processors.

Raptor Lake (13th-gen Intel Core)

Intel expects to follow up Alder Lake with 13th-gen Core processors based on Raptor Lake architecture which will launch later this year. They’ll be manufactured on the same Intel 7 process as Alder Lake and use a similar hybrid architecture that combines Performance cores and Efficiency cores.

Raptor Lake chips will offer “up to a double digit” performance boost, suggesting that we should expect modest gains for the most part. And the chips are said to be socket compatible with Alder Lake processors, which should make it easy for PC makers (or users) to upgrade from one to the next.

Intel says to expect Raptor Lake chips with up to 8 Performance cores (with hyperthreading) and 16 Efficient cores (without hyperthreading), which means we could see chips with up to 24 CPU cores and 32 threads.

Meteor Lake (14th-gen Intel Core)

Next ups is Meteor Lake, which is set to begin shipping in 2023. Built using an Intel 4 manufacturing process, these chips will be among Intel’s first to actually make the move from 10nm to 7nm.

They’ll also use a new tiled, multi-chiplet design, next-gen integrated graphics (currently called tGPU) and feature integrated AI acceleration features.

Intel says to expect improvements to power consumption, and the tiled design will allow the company to custom build different chips for different applications depending on customer needs.

Arrow Lake & Lunar Lake (15th & 16th-gen Intel Core)

Unsurprisingly, Intel has less to say at this point about the client-side chip architecture that won’t start to hit the streets until close to two years from now at the soonest.

But Arrow Lake will be manufactured on an Intel 20A node, while Lunar Lake will move to Intel’s 18A process.

The company is promising “performance per watt leadership” with Lunar Lake, which, as AnandTech’s Ian Cutress notes, suggests that the company knows it won’t be a leader in that space for the next few years, perhaps ceding that territory to rivals including AMD and Apple.
