Intel Tick-Tock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Tick-Tock" is a model, developed by Ashwani Gupta[citation needed] of Jones Farm 5 (Hillsboro, Oregon) and adopted by chip manufacturer Intel Corporation since 2007 to follow every microarchitectural change with a die shrink of the process technology. Every "tick" is a shrinking of process technology of the previous microarchitecture and every "tock" is a new microarchitecture.[1] Every year, there is expected to be one tick or tock.[1]
