CPU microarchitectural core vs. microprocessor/SoC die/package codenames

I added several CPU codenames and removed several die codenames, however, I believe more should probably be done such as in the P6 space (adding Pentium M vs. Banias/Dothan and Enhanced Pentium M vs. Yonah). I understand things get a bit sketchy that far back but at least for now and immediate future I believe the CPU microarchitectural cores should not be conflated with the microprocessor/SoC dies/packages. 50.53.15.59 (talk) 13:39, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Shift from SVG to Template:Graphical timeline or meta:EasyTimeline

It's too cumbersome to edit the SVG every time the diagram is changed (I wish it was editable like text). So I'm considering using the aforementioned alternate mechanisms. EasyTimeline is not easy at all though, and I don't think it supports non-linear scales. Graphical Timeline is a template monster of dimensions too. I like the EasyTimeline syntax, but the semantics (almost every attribute is mandatory) and it looks bad. --Ysangkok (talk) 00:43, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to suggest moving to mw:Extension:EasyTimeline but I agree the transition would be nontrivial (though it might prove more maintainable after such). Too bad we do not have something like mw:Extension:Inline SVG extension available. 50.53.15.59 (talk) 14:56, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

2013-08 border cell

Please add border cell (for color blind people). Visite fortuitement prolongée (talk) 20:20, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done! Pizzahut2 (talk) 16:25, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Visite fortuitement prolongée (talk) 20:12, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Vertical table format

@Dsimic: the existing horizontal table (as drawn from the original SVG) is starting to become unwieldy as Intel adds more architectures. I propose a vertical format table, but this will require some more careful editing to add new architectures in the future. See my proposed vertical format at the template sandbox, which includes a more fully fleshed-out documentation. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 15:09, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! The vertical layout you've proposed does look better, and I don't find the additional editing complexity as a potential downside. The only thing preventing me from saying "yay!" is the amount of whitespace we'd have in the infobox that way, so I'd like to hear opinions from other editors, if you agree. Thank you for preparing the proposal in the first place! — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 18:15, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cascade Lake (microarchitecture)

Where does the Cascade Lake (microarchitecture) goes in the list here? Rjluna2 (talk) 20:34, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if it should be added since it seems to be for servers. Atm the template is ordered by structure size instead of time. So if this is kept, Cascade Lake would go between Whiskey Lake and Cannon Lake. Chronological order might be less confusing though, in this case Cannon Lake would need to be moved between Coffee Lake and Whiskey Lake while making it clear that Cannon Lake is 10 nm.--Pizzahut2 (talk) 01:02, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Cascade Lake (microarchitecture) still have 14 nm process, so it is still at the Skylake (microarchitecture) section. Rjluna2 (talk) 20:56, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SoC-(Lakefield)

column 4 thru 6 are not labled, do they need 2b

Should this be on new row since it's system on chip vice just a cpu?

Redundant?

The difference between this template and Template:Intel processors seems to be minor, except that the latter covers even older architectures. So maybe Template:Intel processor roadmap should be removed or replaced with a redirect to Template:Intel processors? Pizzahut2 (talk) 16:00, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Intel processor roadmap and Template:Intel processors are a little different. In my opinion, Template:Intel processor roadmap should be keep. In my opinion, Template:Intel processor roadmap should be displayed in at least List of Intel CPU microarchitectures and Tick–tock model.

Cleanup tag

The cleanup tag on this template is causing all the articles that use it to be marked for cleanup. Is there a better way to do this? RJFJR (talk) 22:02, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, added noinclude tags.Pizzahut2 (talk) 16:24, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Add cascade lake

It is optimization of sky lake. Article exists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:6000:1405:700:5981:987C:100B:B1A8 (talk) 21:03, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

2022-02 removal of some Intel processor families

I do not want to overload the template, so i ask @Artem S. Tashkinov, Matin235, and Pizzahut2: and everybody:

Can & should the processor families which are only for laptop (such Amber Lake, Whiskey Lake, Cannon Lake) be displayed in the table?
Can & should the processor families which are only for server or workstation (such Cascade Lake, Cooper Lake, Sapphire Rapids) be displayed in the table?

To be honest it's the first time I see this template. Where is it used? I'm not against laptop and server architectures but to be honest I'd only leave basic architectures and forget about iterations, e.g. SkyLake has a ton of descendants which are still SkyLake (Kaby, Coffer, Comet, Whisky, etc.) with minor improvements.

Other processor families that are currently mentionned in Template:Intel processor roadmap and that are laptop only: Banias, Dothan, Yonah. Visite fortuitement prolongée (talk) 19:37, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adding server families could be done by adding lines, or like this

Skylake	Skylake
	Kaby Lake
	Coffee Lake, Whiskey Lake, Cascade Lake
	Coffee Lake Refresh, Cooper Lake
	Comet Lake
Cypress Cove	Rocket Lake
Palm Cove	Cannon Lake
Sunny Cove	Ice Lake
Willow Cove	Tiger Lake
Golden Cove	Alder Lake, Sapphire Rapids
Raptor Cove	Raptor Lake, Emerald Rapids
Redwood Cove	Meteor Lake, Granite Rapids

or by a dedicaced column like this

Skylake	Skylake
	Kaby Lake
	Coffee Lake	Whiskey Lake	Cascade Lake
	Coffee Lake Refresh		Cooper Lake
	Comet Lake
Cypress Cove	Rocket Lake
Palm Cove	Cannon Lake
Sunny Cove		Ice Lake	Ice Lake
Willow Cove		Tiger Lake
Golden Cove	Alder Lake		Sapphire Rapids
Raptor Cove	Raptor Lake		Emerald Rapids
Redwood Cove	Meteor Lake		Granite Rapids
