Wccftech found an MSI laptop with a Meteor Lake-P processor at Computex 2023 Taipei and even benchmarked it.
Of course, the current Meteor Lake processor is still an early engineering sample and the available scores do not represent the final product performance.
The processor is shown in HWINFO with 6 P cores as well as 10 E cores, for a total of 22 logical threads. According to previous reports, two of the 10 E cores should be in the SoC (instead of the CPU) and the TDP is shown as 28W.
The CPU is built on 7nm and has 1.6 MB of L1 cache, 18 MB of L2 and 24 MB of L3 cache with a 3.1 GHz base frequency and 4.2 GHz Turbo Boost Max acceleration with a B0 step.
It is worth mentioning that we finally see for the first time on this model the upcoming Intel Arc iGPU with 128 EUs (96 EUs in the previous generation) and 1024 ALUs in the core, and 300 MHz frequency with 1 GB of shared vRAM, but without drivers, there is no way to run scores for now.
What’s interesting about this version of the Arc iGPU is that it’s not actually a fully integrated core, nor is it a completely separate chip, but rather a small separate chip integrated into the SoC, which may be a bit like the old Iris Pro.
This engineering machine uses dual-channel 16GB LPDDR5 DRAM and scored 4261 points in the Cinebench R23 multi-core test. But since this is only an ES processor, it can’t be fully called up yet, e.g. it shows only 21% usage in Task Manager (normal runtime score 100%).
