tick–tock model

{{short description|Production model by Intel}}

Tick–tock was a production model adopted in 2007 by chip manufacturer Intel. Under this model, every new process technology was first used to manufacture a die shrink of a proven microarchitecture (tick), followed by a new microarchitecture on the now-proven process (tock). It was replaced by the process–architecture–optimization model, which was announced in 2016 and is like a tick–tock cycle followed by an optimization phase. More generally, tick–tock is an engineering model which refreshes one half of a binary system each release cycle.

History

Every "tick" represented a shrinking of the process technology of the previous microarchitecture (with minor changes, commonly to the caches, and rarely introducing new instructions, as with Broadwell in late 2014) and every "tock" designated a new microarchitecture. These occurred roughly every year to 18 months.{{cite web

Due to the slowing rate of process improvements, in 2014 Intel created a "tock refresh" of a tock in the form of a smaller update to the microarchitecture{{cite news| url= http://wccftech.com/intel-haswell-refresh-processors-codenamed-devils-canyon-launching-mid-2014-unlocked-design-improved-tim/| title= Intel Haswell Refresh Processors Codenamed Devil's Canyon - Launching in Mid 2014 With Unlocked Design and Improved {{abbr|TIM|thermal interface material}} |first=Hassan |last=Mujtab |date=2014-03-20 |work=Wccftech.com |access-date=2017-04-29}} not considered a new generation in and of itself. In March 2016, Intel announced in a Form 10-K report that it would always do this in future, deprecating the tick–tock cycle in favor of a three-step process–architecture–optimization model, under which three generations of processors are produced under a single manufacturing process, with the third generation out of three focusing on optimization.{{cite news |url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/10183/intels-tick-tock-seemingly-dead-becomes-process-architecture-optimization|title=Intel's 'Tick–Tock' Seemingly Dead, Becomes 'Process–Architecture–Optimization' |first=Ian |last=Cutress |date=22 March 2016 |journal=Anandtech.com |access-date=23 March 2016}}

After introducing the Skylake architecture on a 14 nm process in 2015, its first optimization was Kaby Lake in 2016. Intel then announced a second optimization, Coffee Lake, in 2017{{cite tweet |author=Intel News... (official) |user=intelnews |number=829773829471744000 |title=8th Gen Intel Core on the 2017 roadmap.

=Atom roadmap=

{{anchor|atom-roadmap}}

With Silvermont Intel tried to start Tick-Tock in Atom architecture but problems with the 10 nm process did not allow to do this. In the table below instead of Tick-Tock steps Process-Architecture-Optimization are used. There is no official confirmation that Intel uses Process-Architecture-Optimization for Atom but it allows us to understand what changes happened in each generation.

Note: There is further the Xeon Phi. It has up to now undergone four development steps with a current top model that got the code name Knights Landing (shortcut: KNL; the predecessor code names all had the leading term Knights in their name) that is derived from the Silvermont architecture as used for the Intel Atom series but realized in a shrunk 14 nm (FinFET) technology.[https://www.golem.de/news/knights-landing-intel-veroeffentlicht-xeon-phi-mit-bis-zu-7-teraflops-1606-121642.html Intel veröffentlicht Xeon Phi mit bis zu 7 Teraflops] In 2018, Intel announced that Knights Landing and all further Xeon Phi CPU models were discontinued.{{cite web |url=https://qdms.intel.com/dm/i.aspx/9C54A9A7-BF37-4496-B268-BD2746EA54D3/PCN116378-00.pdf |title=Product Change Notification 116378 - 00 |access-date=25 July 2018 |website= Intel.com}} However, Intel's Sierra Forest and subsequent Atom-based Xeon CPUs are likely a spiritual successor to Xeon Phi.
