YouTube channel AdoredTV has details about Intel's future Grand Ridge architecture. This is an upcoming Atom architecture intended for 5G base stations. It's the successor to Snow Ridge and it has some interesting features, the leaked slide below reveals Grand Ridge will not only have PCI Express 4.0 support but also support for dual-channel DDR5 memory (up to 5600MHz). Grand Ridge will use up to 24 Gracemont CPU cores, which will be clocked at up to 2.6GHz.

A roadmap from Intel showed Gracemont for 2021 but Intel's recent announcement that its 7nm process is broken too likely means a delay as Gracemont was supposed ot be made on 7nm HLL+ process technology.
