During the financial results, Intel revealed new details of its expected future launch, Meteor Lakeindicating that the 14th Generation of Intel Core processors had already reached the power-on phase (‘Power-On’), which implies that the company can already start producing engineering units ahead of a future mass launch, which is still set for 2023.
Remember that the processors Meteor Lake they would arrive with a chiplet design with several dies or “tiles” with different manufacturing processes. Specifically, it is indicated that the computing tiles (the CPU and logic cores) will be manufactured by Intel using its manufacturing process. Intel 4previously known as 7nm, but being comparable to TSMC’s 4nm, it received that name.
“Intel 4 Meteor Lake has already successfully booted up on Windows, Chrome and Linux. How quickly the team has been able to reach this milestone is a significant sign of the health of both Meteor Lake and our manufacturing process technology.” Intel 4,” said Pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intel.
In regards to the graphics chip tile Intel Xe, which will offer hasta 192 Execution Units (1536 cores), it is indicated that they will use the manufacturing process of 3nm by TSMC (N3), while the SoC or I/O die in charge of connectivity (DDR5/LPDDR5, PCIe 5.0, USB 4.0, etc) might use a more mature manufacturing process such as TSMC 4nm (4N), and included go 5nm They are also not ruled out.
Remember that the CPUs Intel Meteor Lake will offer completely new high-performance cores (P-Core) baptized as Redwood Cove, which will continue to be accompanied by the Gracemont cores to maintain the hybrid design of having powerful cores and low power consumption cores for depending on what tasks under the same package. In this case, the barrier of 24 cores might be overcome that will impose Raptor Lake.
