The Intel Group demonstrated a prototype of the Meteor Lake processor at the Computex 2023 conference, focusing on some of the features of the processor’s co-processor VPU.
Instead of a monolithic design, the Meteor Lake processor uses a decentralized design, combining chiplets to meet different tasks.
The main technology for the versatile processing unit (VPU) available in Meteor Lake comes from Movidius, a company Intel acquired in 2016. By introducing VPU, Intel can accelerate tasks related to AI algorithms and machine learning models.
The main tasks of the VPU in Meteor Lake include real-time processing of photos and videos, filtering applications, auto-blurring backgrounds, scaling applications, replacing images, and more, in addition to the VPU’s ability to recognize user eye movements and gestures in real time.
The processor was completed two weeks ago and features 16 cores with 22 threads, 1.6 MB of L1 cache, 18 MB of L2 cache, and 24 MB of L3 cache.
