Intel Meteor Lake-S will be the generation to replace Intel Raptor Lake-S and is scheduled to launch in late 2023. This new family of processors from the chip giant will revive Core Gen14, and according to the information provided by Intel itself, it will use a chiplet tile design that is, it will combine different chiplet blocks that will integrate SoC, CPU and GPU elements.

Internally, the CPU will maintain a high performance core division and high efficiency core, which means that Intel is not going to change its strategy in this regard. The design that debuted with the Alder Lake-S still has a long way to go, though this time it looks like Santa Clara is making an important change, and that’s that Intel’s Meteor Lake-S won’t use a high-speed eight-core configuration. of the most powerful models, but will be limited to the total number 6 high performance cores.

It’s something very curious, so much so that it’s a bit difficult for me to assimilate, especially since it makes no sense to think about the regression of a high-performance 8-core configuration like the Raptor Lake-S. However, if we take this into account Intel Meteor Lake-S will introduce a new architecture in high-performance coresand also in high performance cores things change as both could take up more space at the silicon level which would explain the change.

In theory, this new generation of high-performance processors will a A comprehensive overhaul of the chip giant’s hybrid architectureand the IPC increase will occur for both P (high performance) and E (high efficiency) cores.

The P cores will use the Redwood Cove architecture and the E cores will be based on the Crestmont architecture. In theory, the most powerful chip of this new generation will have 6 P cores and 16 E cores, which brings 22 cores and 28 threads. Starting with this configuration, Intel will gradually reduce the number of E cores and keep the number of P cores, so the immediately lower configuration will have 6 P cores and 8 E cores, i.e. 14 cores and 20 threads.

All Intel Meteor Lake-S will have a Integrated Intel Xe GPU with 4 graphics core blocks, with the exception of the “F” series models which, as many of our readers know, come with a disabled GPU. The “K” models will have the multiplier unlocked and allow overclocking and have a TDP of 125 watts. As usual, we will also see a version with a locked multiplier and a low-power “T” variant, whose basic TDP will be 35 watts.

Intel Meteor Lake-S processors will be manufactured in node intel 4the successor to the Intel 7 node, which is equivalent 7nm process, although the density of transistors surpasses TSMC’s 7nm node. It is said that Intel could also produce part of these new processors in TSMC’s 5nm node.

After that, the tokens will enter the market. Arrow Lake-Swhich will retain the “chiplet tile” design and which will make the jump to Intel 20A node, although there is again talk that the chip giant will manufacture some of them at TSMC facilities and that it will use the Taiwanese company’s 3nm node. Information is scarce, but according to the source, this generation will arrive in 2024 and will be configured with 8 P cores and 16 E cores, leaving us with a total of 24 cores and 32 threads. Both Meteor Lake-S and Arrow Lake-S will use the new socket, LGA1851.
