Meteor Lake is Intel's codename for the first generation of Intel Core Ultra mobile processors,[3] and is scheduled to be released to the market on December 14, 2023.[4]
Description
According to Intel Technology Roadmaps and Milestones published on February 17, 2022. Meteor Lake will feature XPU (Intel's device abstraction for CPU, GPU, FPGA and other accelerators) enhancements with integrated AI and a tiled GPU architecture that, according to Intel, should deliver discrete graphics-level performance.[2] These statements were later confirmed on May 23, 2023 with additional details that emphasized Intel's collaboration with Microsoft on support of the new processor in Windows 11.[5]
Intel will use several lithographic processes in the Meteor Lake processors.[6] The compute CPU tile will be manufactured using the Intel 4 process, the compute GPGPU tile TSMC's N5 process, the SoC and I/O tiles TSMC's N6 process. The tiles will be connected by Intel's Foveros[3] packaging technology.[7]
On June 15, 2023, Intel announced that beginning with Meteor Lake it will use new branding for the Intel Core Processors:[8]
- Letter i dropped from tiering (e.g. Intel Core 5 processor);
- New processor numbering (the preferred method is to put the processor number after the word "processor", such as Intel Core 5 processor ##xx).
In this announcement, Intel mentioned that Meteor Lake will be exclusively mobile architecture for laptops, and processors on this architecture will be referred to as Core Ultra, while regular Core (desktops) will be on the Raptor Lake Refresh architecture.[9]
Features
A multi-chip module architecture with four tiles: compute (CPU), compute (GPGPU), SoC and IO.[10] Whereas a Platform Controller Hub was included in the package of previous generations of laptop processors to provide I/O functions, those are integrated into the processor itself.[11]
