Ice Lake (microprocessor)

Ice Lake is Intel's codename for the 10th-generation Intel Core mobile and 3rd-generation Xeon Scalable server processors based on the Sunny Cove microarchitecture. Ice Lake represents an Architecture step in Intel's process–architecture–optimization model. Produced on the second generation of Intel's 10 nm process, 10 nm+, Ice Lake is Intel's second microarchitecture to be manufactured on the 10 nm process, following the limited launch of Cannon Lake in 2018. However, Intel altered their naming scheme in 2020 for the 10 nm process. In this new naming scheme, Ice Lake's manufacturing process is called simply 10 nm, without any appended pluses. Ice Lake CPUs are sold together with the 14 nm Comet Lake CPUs as Intel's "10th Generation Core" product family. There are no Ice Lake desktop or high-power mobile processors; Comet Lake fulfills this role. Sunny Cove-based Xeon Scalable CPUs (codenamed "Ice Lake-SP") officially launched on April 6, 2021. Intel officially launched Xeon W-3300 series workstation processors on July 29, 2021. Ice Lake's direct successor in mobile is Tiger Lake, a third-generation 10 nm SuperFin processor family using the new Willow Cove microarchitecture and integrated graphics based on the new Intel Xe microarchitecture. Ice Lake-SP was succeeded by Sapphire Rapids, powered by Golden Cove cores. Several mobile Ice Lake CPUs were discontinued on July 7, 2021.
