Intel has confirmed that it will be bringing Meteor Lake CPUs to its desktop platform in 2024 amidst various cancellation rumors.
The confirmation comes from an interview with PCWorld in which Intel's Executive Vice President and general manager of the Client Computing Group said that Meteor Lake CPUs are coming in 2024. It looks like Meteor Lake CPUs are once again on the table to see the light of day on desktop PCs after various rumors and leaks hinted that the CPU family was canceled & the chipmaker would instead focus on Arrow Lake for its desktop CPU lineup. Following is the interview transcript:
[PCWorld - Mark Hachman] Q- Let me ask you, is there gonna be a Meteor Lake desktop?
[Michelle Johnston Holthaus - Intel EVP/GM of CCG] A - Desktop will come in 2024.
[PCWorld - Mark Hachman] Q- So you are confirming Meteor Lake desktop?
[Michelle Johnston Holthaus - Intel EVP/GM of CCG] A - Yes.
[PCWorld - Mark Hachman] Q - Whether or not you guys are returning to an era where there is gonna be a processor family for mobile and a seprate processor family for desktop but doesn't sound like that's the case.
[Michelle Johnston Holthaus - Intel EVP/GM of CCG] A - That is not the case. I want one processor family top to bottom for both segments, doesn't everybody?

Intel Meteor Lake CPUs is very much a CCG (Intel Client Computing Group) chip so Michelle actually confirming that the product lineup is coming to desktop PCs is a huge deal. This also gives us a new perspective of how Intel will roll out its next-gen CPU platform which may include not one but two distinct product lineups in 2024.
The 1st Gen Core Ultra Meteor Lake CPUs will obviously be coming to mobile platforms such as the recently revealed laptops first starting the 14th of December so we can expect an unveiling of the new desktop parts by CES 2024 which would be less than a month away from Meteor Lake CPUs mobile launch.
Meteor Lake CPUs were previously expected to come in 6+8 configurations derived from its Meteor Lake-P siblings but whether those plans were changed and we get something new remains to be seen. The CPUs will be the successor to Intel's 14th Gen and the last LGA 1700 socketed CPU family codenamed Raptor Lake Refresh.
So far, we have heard about the Intel 800-series platform which will be based around the LGA 1851 socket and deliver major I/O and platform enhancements to accommodate the Meteor Lake and next-gen Arrow Lake-S CPUs. Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs are planned for late 2024 so Meteor Lake-S Desktop CPUs would have some time to capture the market.
Regardless of the configs, the Meteor Lake-S CPUs will be a welcome update over the Raptor Lake Refresh lineup which doesn't offer so much besides clock speed increases

Intel is rumored to launch its Meteor Lake CPU lineup with Core Ultra 7 & 5 chips first followed by Core Ultra 9 laptops in 2024.
Transcripts of analyst-facing conferences, held by multi-billion dollar organisations, are usually terminally dull affairs. But a recent Intel chat contains a wee snippet we can add to the rumour fire about when the next version of Windows is due. And in this particular case, Intel is hinting that it's definitely next year.
In a new video, Intel has demoed the video playback capability of its Meteor Lake iGPU and its Low-Power E-Cores.
Plans to release Lego sets based on Nintendo‘s Animal Crossing series have officially been confirmed.
Intel has revealed that Meteor Lake P-Cores & E-Cores are architecturally very much alike to Raptor Lake but there are some improvements with the Intel 4 process node bringing in higher efficiency.
Blizzard has clarified language from a recent Diablo 4 blog that was misleading some players into thinking there would be no quality of life changes at the start of Season 2.
In a surprisingly unsurprising development, Intel has clarified its position on the upcoming Metoer Lake architecture. It's not coming to the desktop. The problem is that only last week Intel's Michelle Johnston Holthaus, executive vice president and general manager of the client computing group, said it was. Or at least, it seemed like she did.
Intel has made some clarifications to its recent statement regarding the desktop launch of its 1st Gen Core Ultra CPUs codenamed Meteor Lake.
The on/off saga of Meteor Lake for desktops has been settled once and for all. It's been confirmed. Meteor Lake will be coming to desktops.
At Intel Innovation, a two-day event held in San Jose, Calif., the chip maker made official the unveiling of its anticipated "Meteor Lake," its next-generation architecture for client computer processors. We explained, in broad strokes, how Meteor Lake chips, which will debut Dec. 14 under the new Intel Core Ultra brand, are structured, and the general design decisions around the new chips. It's the biggest re-imagining of Intel's processors in decades. But our earlier stories are a mere distillation of many hours of briefings and deep dives, presented by Intel in the run-up to the launch, highlighting the design decisions and the underpinnings of the new silicon.
Video games are expensive. We don’t have to tell you that. But the latest generation of console platforms also saw the introduction of a new standard AAA price tag. Instead of paying the once-standard $59.99, we have to dig into our wallets a little more and fetch out $69.99. So, if you’re looking to save some money and keep your bank accounts for hitting the red, knowing what games to pick up at launch and what titles to keep on the back burner is crucial. Fortunately, there are plenty of sale events to partake in.
