Intel's Lion Cove P-Core and Gaming Workloads


Lion Cove is Intel’s latest high performance CPU architecture.

Compared to its predecessor, Raptor Cove, Intel’s newest core can sustain more instructions per cycle, reorganizes the execution engine, and adds an extra level to the data cache hierarchy. If games were approaching DRAM bandwidth limits, latency would go much higher as requests start piling up at the ARB queue and subsequent points in the chip’s interconnect. The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D I previously tested on has 96 MB of L3 cache on the first die, and has lower L3 latency than Lion Cove in Intel’s Arrow Lake platform.
