Processeur Intel Core Meteor Lake
The codename “Meteor Lake” is confirmed by Intel documents. It is associated with the 14th generation Core from the firm, which is scheduled to launch this year.
The information has been unearthed in the list of Intel Core processors supported by OneVPL Intel GPU Runtine. The fourteenth generation Core is cited along with the name Meteor Lake. The latter has been known for several months but the file is not yet very clear. It surfaced as early as last year but adjustments have since been made.

Mobile versions of these Meteor Lake processors are normally expected to release in mid-2023. The schedule for Desktop versions is more vague (Meteor Lake-S). If the appointment was originally announced for the fourth quarter, indiscretions have hinted at the delay pushing Intel to work on a Raptor Lake Refresh range in order to occupy the stage until 2024. It is important to note that these information comes from rumors and unconfirmed leaks.
Meteor Lake processors are eagerly awaited as they will introduce many improvements and upgrades over their predecessors. It is to be expected
- Improved IPC performance,
- Improved energy efficiency,
- Better integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies,
- PCIe 5.0 and DDR5.
The most recent leaks indicate that these processors will support 20 PCIe 5.0 lanes of which 16 will be dedicated to GPU and 4 to storage. For comparison the Core of 13th generation manage 16 PCIe 5.0 lanes. Intel would also have planned a new chipset, the Z890 which will normally offer 4 additional PCIe 4.0 lines. It will be associated with a new socket, the LGA-1851. The latter is supposed to be used by the Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake chips.

We do not have details around the RAM. It is possible that the Z890 will come with native support for DDR5 with a frequency higher than 5600 MHz but this remains to be confirmed.
