Meteor Lake

In a new video, Intel has demoed the video playback capability of its Meteor Lake iGPU and its Low-Power E-Cores.

More details regarding the Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPU platform and the Z890 motherboards have been revealed.

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.

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.

Intel has confirmed that it will be bringing Meteor Lake CPUs to its desktop platform in 2024 amidst various cancellation rumors.

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 “Meteor Lake” processors for laptops will launch on Dec. 14, but under the umbrella of the new “Core Ultra” brand, according to company CEO Pat Gelsinger. 

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 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.

You're going to hear a lot about Meteor Lake in these next few days and weeks; these new chips are some of Intel's most exciting in a good while. I say that even despite their intended use as low power processors in ultra-thin laptops, not even gaming PCs. Some of the new features stuffed into these disaggregated chips could come in handy for the next-generation of gaming processor.

We've heard plenty over the past year or two, in broad terms, about Intel's upcoming roadmap for its silicon, its fundamental changes to its processor branding, and the new lingo (Intel 4, Intel 7) under which it will be referencing its future manufacturing processes. Here in September, Intel is peeling back another layer from the covering over its next-generation processors, code-named "Meteor Lake."

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. (See our larger explainer for an architectural overview of what's new with the coming Meteor Lake chips.)

When Intel’s “Meteor Lake” processors launch, they’ll feature not just CPU cores spread across two on-chip tiles, alongside an on-die GPU portion, but also the company’s first-ever Neural Processing Unit (NPU) devoted to AI workloads.

Intel's taken inspiration from Apple's M1 and M2 chips with a new Meteor Lake chip that includes LPDDR5X inside the chip package. The neatly compact processor has been teased with two Samsung memory packages loaded onto it—a bid to improve performance and reduce a device's overall footprint.

Intel has given a close-up of its next-gen Meteor Lake client and Granite Rapids data center CPUs which utilize advanced packaging technologies.

HWMonitor, a highly popular hardware monitoring application, has added support for Intel's Raptor Lake Refresh and the Meteor Lake CPU lineup.

Intel Meteor Lake CPUs aren't just going to make use of AI to make user experiences better but also improve its own internal capabilities.

An alleged Intel Meteor Lake-S Desktop CPU which is centered around the LGA 1851 socket has been pictured in the wild.

Intel has confirmed to unveil its next-gen Client CPU roadmap along with the upcoming Meteor Lake "Core Ultra" chips at Innovation 2023.
