Intel Meteor Lake reaches new milestone
The upcoming mobile architecture has entered a new stage of development.
Intel is apparently eager to share news of its upcoming new architecture called Meteor Lake. Following the taping process announced last May, Intel has now confirmed that Meteor Lake has started.
Pat Gelsinger confirmed after the first-quarter earnings call that Meteor Lake has launched in three operating systems:
“Intel 4 Meteor Lake has now successfully launched on Windows, Chrome and Linux. The speed with which the team was able to achieve this milestone is a great sign of the health of Meteor Lake and our Intel 4 process technology.”
— Pat Gelsinger, Intel CEO
The boot process is not guaranteed to start soon.old bridge powered up January 2021, has only just begun the sampling process of customers. Meteor Lake is scheduled to launch in 2023.
This new family of processors will be the first consumer-grade architecture to use a tiling approach to designing chips. It will be built using Intel Foveros technology and compute blocks based on the Intel 4-Process Architecture.
Meteor Lake will feature up to 192 graphics execution units, double the number of cores in Alder Lake/Raptor Lake GPUs. Intel hasn’t confirmed how many CPU cores Meteor Lake will support, but it has confirmed it will run in the 5 to 125W power range. As such, Meteor Lake will debut on low-power laptops as well as high-end desktop consumer systems.
We have officially launched our first classified product: Meteor Lake.An incredible milestone resulting from the efforts of many crossovers @Intel. Congrats, Team! pic.twitter.com/eKvHzDqSiu
