Intel for the first time showed the Meteor Lake CPU


Intel showcased the performance of its next-generation processor, Meteor Lake, for the first time at the Computex exhibition. The demonstration focused specifically on the VPU (Vision Processing Unit), designed for artificial intelligence tasks, rather than the entire CPU. While the demonstration itself lacked comparative benchmarks, the CPU itself presents intriguing features. The Meteor Lake CPU configuration includes 16 cores capable of processing 22 threads. This configuration comprises six high-performance cores (the maximum for Meteor Lake) and ten smaller cores. However, there is a peculiar aspect to note. According to unconfirmed information, the actual CPU configuration follows a 6 + 8 + 2 formula, which is highly unconventional for an x86-compatible processor. In this case, it implies the presence of six high-performance cores, eight smaller cores within the CPU chiplet alongside the six larger ones, and an additional two smaller cores on the SoC chiplet. It is unclear why Intel chose this approach. The CPU operated at clock speeds ranging from 0.37 to 3.1 GHz, although these frequencies are not final. Notably, it features 18 MB of L2 cache and 24 MB of L3 cache. Intel has been consistently discussing Meteor Lake well in advance of its launch, indicating the company's high expectations for this upcoming generation.
