Intel 14th-generation Core processor Meteor Lake will use the LGA 2551 interface

by ·

There have been rumors that the LGA 1700 interface will be used by three-generation core processors, from Alder Lake to Raptor Lake to Meteor Lake. According to the latest news, the 14th-generation Core processor Meteor Lake, which is expected to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2023, will use the LGA 2551 interface.

This news was released by Moore’s Law is Dead, and the credibility is average, but this Youtube channel released a photo of the back of the LGA 2551 processor. The size of the processor is 38*46mm, which is not much larger than that of the LGA 1700. It is 1mm longer and 0.5mm wider, but the number of pins is increased by 50%, and the density has increased a lot. Compared with the AM5, the number of pins is 833 more.

Meteor Lake with chiplet design will include four chiplets: CPU Tile, GFX Tile, SOC Tile, and IO Tile. The CPU Tile part will use Intel 4 process, P-Core of Redwood Cove architecture, and E-Core of Crestmont architecture. At present, it is certain that the cache of the new CPU architecture will be significantly increased. The L2 of Redwood Cove will increase to 2MB, and the IPC will increase by 12~21% compared with Raptor Cove. In terms of the number of cores, it is still uncertain. The U series and P series are 2P+8E and 6P+8E respectively, and the desktop platform may be 8P+16E like Raptor Lake.


For the GPU part, this GFX Tile will be handed over to TSMC for foundry. It is said that the 3nm process will be used, and the new Xe-HPG architecture will be used to strengthen support for DirectX 12 Ultimate and XeSS. According to different application environments, the minimum configuration is 96 EUs, and the maximum configuration is 192 EUs.
