Design
    
Tremont is 3rd generation out-of-order low-power Atom microarchitecture designed for the entry level desktop and notebook computers. Tremont is built on the 10 nm manufacturing process and supports up to 24 cores.[5] It includes the Intel Gen11 graphics architecture from Ice Lake.
Tremont microarchitecture provides the following enhancements over Goldmont Plus:
- Enhanced branch prediction unit.
- Increased capacity with improved path-based conditional and indirect prediction.
 - New committed Return Stack Buffer.
 
 - Novel clustered 6-wide out-of-order front-end fetch and decode pipeline.
- Banked ICache with dual 16B reads.
 - Two 3-wide decode clusters enabling up to 6 instructions per cycle.
 
 - Deeper back-end out-of-order windows.
 - 32 KB[lower-alpha 1] data cache.
 - Larger load and store buffers.
 - Dual generic load and store execution pipes capable of 2 loads, 2 stores, or 1 load and 1 store per cycle.
 - Dedicated integer and vector integer/floating point store data ports.
 - New and improved cryptography.
- New Galois-field instructions (GFNI).
 - Dual AES units.
 - Enhanced SHA-NI implementation.
 - Faster PCLMULQDQ.
 
 - Support for user level low-power and low-latency spin-loop instructions UMWAIT/UMONITOR and TPAUSE.
