Intel has announced its brand new Core Ultra "Meteor Lake PS" & Core "Raptor Lake PS" CPUs for Edge, utilizing the LGA 1851 & LGA 1700 socketed platforms.

Intel Goes All In On The Edge With New LGA-Socketed CPUs In Core Ultra "Meteor Lake PS" & Core "Raptor Lake PS" Flavors

We were expecting to see the new PS series launch soon and it looks like they are finally here. The chip was announced by Intel during Embedded World 2024 as its new Edge portfolio. The PS lineup of chips is made for emerging AI workloads and comes packed with Intel's Arc iGPUs and the Intel AI Boost NPUs, delivering great versatility on the LGA socketed platform.

Starting with the Intel PS Core Ultra family, what we are looking at is essentially the same Meteor Lake CPUs that launched for mobile a few months back but in LGA socketed flavors. These will be the only socketed Meteor Lake CPUs available as the DIY segment will be getting the Arrow Lake-S treatment.

Coming to the specifications, there are at least 9 SKUs mentioned which include four Meteor Lake PS 45W and five Meteor Lake PS 15W chips. The top chip is the Intel Core Ultra 7 (Series 1) 165HL & packs a total of 16 cores and 22 threads in a 6+8+2 (P/E/LP-E) configuration. The chip features 24 MB of L3 cache, a clock speed of up to 5.0 GHz, and can scale up to 65W. The Alchemist Arc iGPU is equipped with 8 Xe-cores of 128 execution units running at 2.3 GHz and supports up to 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes.

The most important part is that this is the first time that Intel is publicly confirming the LGA 1851 socket which will power its next-gen desktop CPU platforms such as Arrow Lake and beyond. The CPU socket is listed with support of up to DDR5-5600 memory, TBT4 IO, and has dimensions of 45 by 37.5mm. According to Intel, the Core Ultra "Meteor Lake PS" CPUs offer up to 5.02x faster GPU performance, 3.13x faster AI performance, and 3.85x lower power for AI and graphics workloads vs the previous generation.
