Intel works on a new architecture to replace x86

The x86 processor architecture has been present in computers for many years, specifically since 1978 although 13 years ago the x86-64 variant was introduced to improve the capabilities of modern processors. This architecture seems to have almost reached its limit of evolution, so Intel would already be working on a new architecture to succeed it.

Intel may abandon X86 architecture

The development of x86 processors has been very scarce in recent years and one of the reasons would be their great maturity, which makes it very difficult to continue evolving. Given this situation and the desire to greatly improve the efficiency of its processors, Intel would work on a new architecture more in line with current needs. The new architecture will dispense with some features and instructions that have been unused for many years and are maintained only for compatibility reasons, for example the SIMD features that ARM processors have already dispensed with.

The new Intel architecture would arrive between 2019 and 2020, with this we would have a new generation of smaller and much more efficient processors with the use of energy by reducing their internal circuitry. These new processors may not be compatible with x86 and would come after Tigerlake, the latest generation of x86-based Intel.

Intel's new architecture could help you in your particular war with ARM to conquer mobile devices, high efficiency without giving up power will be the key to success.
