One of the things Intel is revealing at today's 2018 Architecture Day is a new platform codenamed "Sunnycove". No official word yet about what Sunnycove is, but it's believed to be another derivative of the Skylake core instead of a completely new design.

The chip giant has a working system on display and promises Sunnycove offers "up to 75 percent" higher 7-Zip performance. Sunnycove has new ISA capabilities including vector-AES + SHA-NI, and is capable of accelerating most common cryptographic algorithms.

No further details yet.
