Willow Cove is a codename for a CPU microarchitecture developed by Intel and released in September 2020.
Willow Cove is the successor to the Sunny Cove microarchitecture, and is fabricated using Intel's enhanced 10 nm process node called 10 nm SuperFin (10SF).
[1] The microarchitecture powers 11th-generation Intel Core mobile processors (codenamed "Tiger Lake").
[3] Intel first described Tiger Lake and Willow Cove during their Architecture Day in 2020.
[4] Willow Cove is almost identical to the previous microarchitecture but introduces new security features, a redesigned cache subsystem, and higher clock speeds.
