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.
Intel Shows Close-Ups of Next-Gen Granite Rapids Xeon & Meteor Lake Client CPUs Using Advanced Packaging Tech
06.09.2023 - 17:21 / wccftech.com / Sierra Forest / Meteor Lake
Intel has given a close-up of its next-gen Meteor Lake client and Granite Rapids data center CPUs which utilize advanced packaging technologies.
In a PR published by Intel, Chipzilla highlights the various chipmaking technologies that are being utilized at its Arizona and Oregon fabs for the production of next-gen chips. Intel, while being late to the chiplet era, has picked up the pace recently with its Sapphire Rapids and Ponte Vecchio not only being advanced chiplet designs but taking it to the next level through the use of Foveros and EMIB technologies. The company's disaggregated chiplet roadmap also takes shape later this fall with the launch of Meteor Lake, its first full-on chiplet design, and the first "Core Ultra" lineup for clients.
Following Meteor Lake, Intel will once again be firing up all barrels in the data center segment with not one but two distinct Xeon families, the P-Core-based Granite Rapids & the E-Core-based Sierra Forest.
Today's close-up gives us a look at the 2nd Gen chiplet-based Data Center product, Granite Rapids-SP, which will be compatible with the LGA 4710 socket (Birch Stream platform). This massive chip is composed of five chiplets with the three in the middle being an XCC Compute tile while the two on the outer sides responsible for I/O and additional controllers. Intel also shows off the organic sub-strate layer & which can be seen utilizing at least 8 EMIB interconnects for each separate chiplet.
We also get a close-up on Intel's Meteor Lake CPUs and while we have seen the die shot on several occasions, this time we get to see an interesting package that is coupled with on-die memory. This particular SKU utilizes two LPDDR5x DRAM dies from Samsung (K3KL3L30CM) on the same package & will result in some very interesting mobility solutions, especially in terms of size & compactness. There will also be the standard off-package DRAM solutions within the Meteor Lake lineup.
Intel’s advanced packaging technologies extend and drive Moore’s Law as the company aspires to a trillion transistors in a package by 2030. Intel has led the industry in advanced packaging for a couple decades. Its innovations include EMIB (embedded multi-die interconnect bridge) and Foveros, technologies that allow multiple chips on a package to be connected side by side (EMIB) or stacked on top of one another in a 3D fashion (Foveros).
As Moore's Law has been progressing, traditional scaling has been slowing down,” says Ann Kelleher, executive vice president and general manager of Intel’s Technology Development. “But as we start doing advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration, it means we can pack a lot more components into a given package and a given product.

Chiplet Chat: Q&A With Intel's Tim Wilson, SoC Design Head for 'Meteor Lake' CPUs
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.

Intel's next-gen Lunar Lake CPU demo poses more questions than it answers
We're still waiting for Intel's next-gen Meteor Lake CPUs to make retail availability. All the expectations are that those chips will be limited to laptops and the desktop will only receive a minor refresh of the existing Raptor Lake chips. But now comes news that Intel has been showing off yet another new generation of CPUs, known as Lunar Lake.

Microsoft dreamed up a next-gen Xbox, powered by Zen 6 and Navi 5, and 'performance beyond the capabilities of the client hardware alone'
From leaked court documents we now know that Microsoft dreamed up a «cloud hybrid» games console. One that would harness both the power of a local AMD Zen 6 or ARM CPU, a Navi 5 semi-custom GPU, and a cloud gaming platform to deliver «new levels of performance beyond the capabilities of the client hardware alone.»

Could we see an Intel Meteor Lake powered PC handheld? 'It's really just up to the OEMs'
The first ever PC handheld I tried out was an Intel-powered device. That was the Project UFO, powered by a 10th Gen Intel chip. Then I tried the One-Netbook OneXPlayer, fitted with an Intel Core i7 1165G7. While both times I enjoyed the concept of a PC handheld, the performance was never quite up to expectation. I've used many more handhelds since and had a much better time—though they've all been powered by AMD silicon. Intel has no major share of the handheld market these days.

Intel's commitment to building GPUs is 'pretty self evident' as Arc lands in Meteor Lake
Intel has been a genuine player in gaming graphics cards for around a year now; more or less since the release of the Arc A770 and Arc A750 graphics cards. Whether Intel will stick around in the discrete graphics card game has come into question many times since, to the almost certain frustration of those working closely on the products. Culminating in Intel's Tom Petersen telling me «we're not going anywhere» in 2022—before even the launch of Intel's first big gaming graphics cards.

Intel's 'Meteor Lake' On-Chip GPU Unveiled: Arc Hits Integrated Graphics
Intel is laser-focused on improving its graphics technology of late. Not only has the company re-entered the graphics card market for the first time in more than 20 years, with its Intel Arc "Alchemist" family of discrete graphics cards, but Intel has also pressed its on-CPU integrated graphics processor (IGP) tech harder than ever. Now, the big chip maker has revealed that it is putting much of that graphics innovation surrounding Arc to work in its upcoming "Meteor Lake" processors.
