Hmmm you could be right. They might have even updated the tile setup to include more cores.
Goldmont-normal => 1 MB per 2 cores
Goldmont-server => 2 MB per 2 cores
Goldmont plus-normal => 4 MB per 4 cores
So, ideally the tile core count would be four cores with faster L2(independent >512K L2 per core) and slow-ish--er L3(>4 MB shared between all four cores).
Denverton = 16 cores
Snow Ridge => 24 cores // makes it an upgrade
Denverton => The Intel Atom® C3000 processor supports this transformation, and Intel is working with communications equipment vendors to increase computing, bandwidth, and storage capacity at the edge—including
5G base stations with integrated server capabilities, virtualized customer premise equipment (vCPE), software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN), and network appliances.
Snow Ridge => Intel revealed that it has developed a new 5G system-on-chip solution called Snow Ridge — but it’s not targeted at smartphones or tablets. The new chip is instead designed to be used in wireless base stations, and at the edge of 5G networks, enabling carriers to boost the “intelligence” of next-generation networks.
More cores implies more simultaneous users via Marvell's base station socs;
-> up to 12 cores running up to 1.2 GHz core frequency => Supports up to 500 simultaneous LTE users // CNF73XX
-> up to 16 cores running up to 1.6 GHz core frequency => Supports a range of user counts from 800 user picocell configuration to 3,600 macrocell mode simultaneous active users // CNF75XX
