The leaked roadmap shows Intel’s plans for Week 18 (May 1 to May 7) of 2023, which includes the S, H, PX, M, U, and N series, suggesting Intel will offer a full range of new Core series products for gamers.

The 6P+8E core of Meteor Lake-S has been rumored several times before to be cancelled and replaced by Arrow Lake with the same configuration, and this roadmap update largely confirms those rumors.

Of course, the cancellation of the 6+8 models of MTL-S does not necessarily mean that the entire Meteor Lake-S lineup is being cancelled, as there have been reports that Intel may be preparing a 6P+16E sku that will be available alongside the 8P+16E configuration of Arrow Lake-S.

As far as we know, the next-generation Core processors may not have more cores than Raptor Lake, but thanks to the updates of Lion Cove and Skymont hybrid architectures, plus the new Intel 4 (note: the original 7nm) process, this new generation will have a good boost compared to the new generation.

Meteor Lake will feature a new small-chip design that will utilize the Redwood Cove performance core to handle heavy workloads while using the energy-efficient Cresmont efficiency core to perform simpler tasks, thus maximizing performance without sacrificing power consumption.

It is also possible that Meteor Lake will feature a third type of core, the rumored LP e core. Intel patents suggest that the SoC portion will contain two additional Cresmont cores, which appear to be manufactured using a slightly older process node.

Meteor Lake has four modules: graphics, SoC, CPU and IOE, while the LP e core is located within the SoC layer and is the functional equivalent of the I / O Die (IOD) in AMD Ryzen processors.

According to previously leaked documents, Meteor Lake will support “Low-power island CPU offload”, which means that the LP e core may work in idle or sleep mode to handle service processes. In other words, it will help reduce the power consumption of the laptop.

There are also ES samples of Meteor Lake mobile processors that appeared in the SiSoftware database a few days ago, with the two models featuring 4P + 8E + 2e and 6P + 8E + 2e layouts respectively. In other words, both ES processors contain two LP e cores, and a similar design is expected for desktop processors.

A May 6 patch shows that Linux 6.3 adds support for Meteor Lake-S SPI serial flash memory, as well as a list of Meteor Lake-S PCI IDs in the list of drivers for supported devices.

This news seems to refute previous revelations, following rumors that Intel has canceled its 14th generation Meteor Lake-S desktop series.

That said, current rumors predict that Meteor Lake-S desktop CPUs will include up to Core i5 models and 35-65W TDPs, launching alongside higher-end Arrow Lake-S processors (up to Core i9 and 125W TDP), both of which will support the new 800-series chipset.

As previously reported, Meteor Lake will be mass-produced using Intel 4 process nodes, with transistor density and performance / Watt claimed to be comparable to TSMC’s N5 and N4 series nodes.

In addition, the 14th generation Meteor Lake mobile processors are expected to be renamed the new Core Ultra series.

A document dated April 21 shows that Intel is making Xeon Emerald Rapids R-0 step-up versions available to customers for system testing and debugging. The samples will be fused to PQS and graded to ES2 standard. This means the chip is on track for launch later this year.

Later, another tipster @YuuKi_AnS shared two images of Intel’s Emerald Rapids-SP CPU, also an ES2 sample. The Emerald Rapids chip is quite different from the Sapphire Rapids chip, judging by the capacitor layout on the back.

According to available information, Intel’s 5th generation Emerald Rapids family of CPUs will launch in Q4 2023 with up to 64 cores and 128 threads, the flagship will have a dual-core layout (the Sapphire Rapids family tops out at 4 cores), and will have a large amount of L3 cache (rumours say up to 320 MB), and will continue to use the existing LGA 4677 slot.

In addition to this, Intel is said to be sampling spec numbers to OEMs, with the first ES1 processors based on the A1 stepper. According to previous rumours, Meteor Lake-S includes various SKUs for the desktop LGA 1851 platform (Meteor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh are both Gen 14), but in very limited numbers::

• MTL-S 22 (6P + 16E) / 4 Xe cores / 125W TDP
• MTL-S 22 (6P + 16E) / 4 Xe cores / 65W TDP
• MTL-S 22 (6P + 16E) / 4 Xe kernel / 35W TDP
• MTL-S 14 (6P + 8E) / 4 Xe kernel / 65W TDP
• MTL-S 14 (6P + 8E) / 4 Xe kernel / 35WTDP

Benchlife previously stated that the Meteor Lake-S desktop processor, which will be launched in the first half of 2024, may be cancelled. Arrow Lake-S will be launched together with the 800 series motherboard based on the LGA 1851 socket, while Arrow Lake-S will remain Core specs for 8P + 16E; @leaf_Hobby says Intel won’t update the chipset until at least Q1 2024.

This time, SquashBionic said that Intel will launch Meteor Lake-S processors in the first quarter of 2024, while Arrow Lake-S will not come so soon.

It is said that the MTL-S base frequency support can reach DDR5-6400, but it also depends on the specific configuration of the die. He said: The current MTL-S (6+8) supports 5600 MT/s; while MTL-S (6+16) supports 6400 MT/s, which is different from the previous specification of 8P + 16E.

In addition, according to @9550pro, it seems that Intel’s new Meteor Lake series can only be used on low-voltage platforms. At least this year’s new desktop processors and HX series processors for mobile platforms are still the Refresh version of the 13th generation Core Raptor Lake. Next year Only then will there be products with new motherboard + new architecture CPU.

The new generation of Meteor Lake will use the Intel 4 process and external process, and introduce the “Tile” design for the first time, integrating CPU, SOC, nuclear display and IOE chips.

In terms of technology, Intel announced that the Intel 7 process has been mass-produced, Intel 4 production is ready, and with the launch of Meteor Lake, Intel 4 production capacity will be increased in the second half of this year.

In addition, the Intel 3 process is also advancing as planned, and the test chips of Intel 20A and 18A processes have been taped out.

The post Intel will launch Meteor Lake-S CPU in the Q1 of 2024, support DDR5-5600 and above memory appeared first on TechGoing.

Therefore, many digital enthusiasts believe that Intel’s move indicates that the next-generation Meteor Lake-S series is facing a setback, at least not in the form of a desktop version in 2023 as scheduled.

This scene seems to be a repeat of the previous 14nm switch to 10nm generation, as we expect only the 14th generation mobile processors to be upgraded to Meteor Lake this year, and then the high-performance desktop processors will be launched only after further polishing.

According to @OneRaichu, Intel has confirmed that it will cancel the desktop version of Meteor Lake, that is, the Meteor Lake-S series processors, and used to fill the demand for MPL-S series products is the previous sudden outbreak of “Raptor Lake Refresh The MPL-S series will be used to fill the demand for the MPL-S series products is the “Raptor Lake Refresh”, which suddenly broke out.

In addition, @OneRaichu also said that some of the axed MTL-S products will be replaced with MTL-P models (P series is a mobile platform product, positioning thin and light high-performance), where the GT1 series will use the 64EU iGPU.

According to another Digitimes report today, industry sources have revealed Intel’s decision to delay its previous 3nm chip orders from TSMC until the fourth quarter of 2024. Industry sources pointed out that Intel’s manufacturing process and PC platform blueprints have been revised frequently in recent years, and the delay in product launch has severely disrupted the supply chain’s production and marketing plans.

Intel’s route announced last year shows that Meteor Lake will come out in the second half of 2023, followed by Arrow Lake in 2024, when there will be Lunar Lake series products for low-power platforms.

According to materials previously shared by Intel, the new generation of Meteor Lake will use Intel 4 process and TSMC external process, and for the first time introduce a “Tile” modular design, integrating four small chips in a chip CPU, SOC, core graphics and IOE, and will use Foveros packaging Arrow Lake will be the first product to be built with Intel 20A, also using TSMC process, involving N3, N5 and N6.

As planned, the next generation of Meteor Lake processors will be the first to be based on the Intel 4 (7nm) process, which is the first Intel manufacturing process to use EUV lithography.

According to information shared by @OneRaichu, Intel’s Meteor Lake CPUs are based on the Redwood Cove and Crestmont architectures, and with the new generation of Intel 4 and TSMC, their performance and efficiency are expected to increase significantly, at least to the level of 1.5 times the performance to power ratio of the 13th generation Raptor Lake. At least the performance-to-power ratio is targeted to reach 1.5 times the level of the 13th-generation Raptor Lake.

In addition, since the new tGPU or Tiled-GPU architecture will include a new Xe GPU core, he believes (subjective prediction) that core graphics (128EU above 2.0GHz) on Gen 14 processors could reach 2x the performance level of the previous (96EU), with enhanced support for DirectX 12 Ultimate and XeSS.

According to @ECSM_Official, the new generation of Meteor Lake will combine TSMC’s N5+N6 process on the basis of Intel 4, limited to a maximum of 6P+16E configuration, while Arrow Lake will combine N3+N5+N6 three processes, and the high-end models will use Intel 20A, which means that some of the ARL models may be completely adopted That is to say, some of the ARL models may be completely OEM’d by TSMC.

For Intel’s future roadmap, we can currently see that Intel Intel 4 will introduce EUV lithography for the first time, compared to Intel 7 performance per watt increased by 20%, the first application products are Meteor Lake and Granite Rapids. follow-up, Intel is more focused on Intel 20A node compared to the optimized Intel 3 node, but currently far from We are all still too far away, both the roadmap and the news are quite variable.

In addition, there are rumors that Intel’s next-generation LGA 1851 slot will support three generations of products, if not including Meteor Lake-S, then possibly Arrow Lake-S, Arrow Lake Refresh and Panther Lake (or Nova Lake-S), the source is no longer available, for reference only.

Intel had confirmed at its earnings meeting last October that Intel 4 was moving toward high-volume production, with Meteor Lake flow expected to be completed in the fourth quarter, the final step in moving the 14th generation Core processors from the design phase into early production.

Of course, although the roadmap looks good, but Intel has not had a good time recently, even last quarter earnings turned into a loss. Due to the rapid decline in revenue and profits, Intel also previously announced layoffs and cuts in management compensation across the company, CEO Kissinger’s base pay will be reduced by 25%, Intel’s executive leadership team’s base pay will be reduced by 15%.

In fact, Intel’s market situation in recent years, although firmly dominant but has been in the doldrums, and even the market value has been overtaken by AMD. Despite cost-cutting strategies such as staff streamlining, the company is still not favored by investors in the face of a weak PC market and increased competition from AMD, and the company itself expects to remain in the red in the first quarter of 2023.

The source interviewed by Digitimes said that the PC market is expected to remain weak throughout this year, and even Intel’s major product launches may not be able to stimulate demand.

According to previous known information, Intel’s next-generation processors will use TSMC manufacturing side of the partnership will be delayed until the fourth quarter of 2024 to manufacture GFX tile for Arrow Lake, while Panther Lake and Nova Lake are expected to be launched in the third quarter of 2025 and 2026, respectively.

It is worth mentioning that the size of the new LGA 1851 socket is exactly the same as that of the LGA-1700, except that the IHS of the new socket protrudes higher than before, which ensures that Intel’s new multi-tile technology has enough room to play, Another reason may be to avoid previous problems, such as the warping and overheating issues that have occurred with Intel’s Alder Lake.

Combined with the previously announced PPT roadmap, Intel Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake desktop processors will be compatible with the LGA 1851 socket. In addition, based on the information listed, we can conclude that the 14th generation Core processors will support up to LPDDR5X-7500 memory, while the high-end Arrow Lake CPU is expected to support LPDDR5X-8400 specifications and ECC DDR5 UDIMM and SO-DIMM models. Memory.

From the currently known information, the specifications of Intel’s 14th generation Meteor Lake-S series desktop CPUs have been weakened compared to the previous generation, at least reducing the number of P cores, but thanks to new processes, new architectures and brand new chiplets Technology and performance must have increased significantly.

The Meteor Lake-S lineup given in the leaked chart includes five different models, with the top-of-the-line processor combining 6 P-cores and 16 E-cores to provide 22 cores and 28 threads.

Additionally, the P-Cores on the Meteor Lake CPUs are based on the new Redwood Cove architecture, while the E-Cores will feature the Crestmont design, both of which will bring new improvements and upgrades.

It should be noted that the 14th generation Meteor Lake CPU is limited to i7, and the higher i9 seems to be only available in the Arrow Lake series, and due to the new foundry strategy, Meteor Lake will integrate Intel 4 (CPU) + TSMC N5 (tGPU) + TSMC’s N6 (SoC) process is expected to be optimized in terms of cost.

The currently exposed Meteor Lake-S list includes:

22 (6P + 16E) / 4 Xe cores / 125W TDP

22 (6P + 16E) / 4 Xe cores / 65W TDP

22 (6P + 16E) / 4 Xe cores / 35W TDP

14 (6P + 8E) / 4 Xe cores / 65W TDP

14 (6P + 8E) / 4 Xe cores / 35W TDP

The post Intel confirms Meteor Lake-S will use LGA 1851 slot, support up to LPDDR5X-7500 memory appeared first on TechGoing.

Previously broke the information that Intel is preparing a new socket called “V”, which will provide support for at least two generations of desktop CPUs, Meteor Lake-S and Arrow Lake-S. The socket is very similar in size to the existing LGA 1700 socket but will offer more pins and add support for new/enhanced features.

According to the leaked PPT, it looks like Intel’s 14th Gen Meteor Lake-S desktop CPUs will take a step back and reduce the number of P cores (performance cores) while preserving the number of E cores (energy efficiency cores). The lineup listed in the chart includes five different SKU configurations, with the top model featuring up to 22 cores, including a combination of 6 P-cores and 16 E-cores.

The P-Core on the Meteor Lake CPUs is based on the new Redwood Cove architecture, while the E-Core will feature a Crestmont design, both of which are improved architectures. The full list of configurations includes:

Meteor Lake-S 22 (6P + 16E) / 4 Xe Graphics / 125W TDP

Meteor Lake-S 22 (6P + 16E) / 4 Xe graphics / 65W TDP

Meteor Lake-S 22 (6P + 16E) / 4 Xe graphics / 35W TDP

Meteor Lake-S 14 (6P + 8E) / 4 Xe graphics / 65WTDP

Meteor Lake-S 14 (6P + 8E) / 4 Xe graphics / 35WTDP

The 15th Gen Arrow Lake-S desktop CPUs will have up to 24 cores, including 8 P cores and 16 E cores. Here’s the full list of SKUs to look forward to in the lineup:

Arrow Lake-S 24 (8P + 16E) / 4 Xe Graphics / 125W TDP

Arrow Lake-S 24 (8P + 16E) / 4 Xe graphics / 65W TDP

Arrow Lake-S 24 (8P + 16E) / 4 Xe graphics / 35W TDP

The 15th-gen Arrow Lake-S differs from the 14th-gen Arrow Lake-S series in that all models that have been revealed have 24 CPU cores. Intel also appears to have retained the 4 Xe integrated graphics cores in Meteor Lake, but foreign media expect these cores to use the new Arc graphics architecture.

The PPT also shows that the 14th generation Meteor Lake CPUs will be based on the Intel 4 process, while the 15th generation Arrow Lake CPUs will use the Intel 20A process.

At the previous financial report meeting, Intel also announced the latest progress of its chip technology, and reiterated their previous goal, that is to achieve “Intel 7, Intel 4, Intel 3, Intel 20A and Intel within 4 years.” 18A” this 5th generation CPU technology.

According to reports, Intel 4 is moving towards the stage of mass production. The company expects to complete the tapeout of Meteor Lake in the fourth quarter. This is the last step of the 14th generation Core processor from the design stage to early production. It is expected to process Products for devices and OEM customers will be available in 2023.
