Intel Meteor Lake-P photo leaks: 6 performance cores & 8 energy efficiency cores
Recently, Twitter user @witeken shared the slide of Intel’s presentation to be presented at the IEEE VLSI seminar, the content refers to the Intel 4 process technology used by its Meteor Lake (14th Gen Core), along with a photo of Intel’s Meteor Lake-P, a chip for mobile platforms.
The Intel 4 process is essentially Intel’s original 7nm process, and Meteor Lake is the first Intel Core processor to use this process. It is said that Intel’s goal on the Intel 4 process is to increase the frequency by more than 20% under the same power consumption, achieve twice the high-performance library scaling, and will make extensive use of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) technology. Meteor Lake adopts a modular design, which can be stacked with modules of different process nodes, and then interconnected using EMIB technology and through Foveros packaging technology.
The core photo of Intel Meteor Lake-P shows that it has 6 performance cores and 8 energy efficiency cores. The P-core will enable the Redwood Cove architecture to replace the current Golden Cove architecture, and the E-core will use the Crestmont architecture instead of the Gracemont architecture. Meteor Lake should have four different modules, namely the compute module, SOC module, I/O module, and GPU module.
Intel is expected to launch Meteor Lake in the second half of 2023, with desktop platforms using the new LGA 1851 socket.
