How powerful is Intel Meteor Lake processor?

Meteor Lake is the codename for Intel's latest CPU lineup, which will be released sometime in the second half of 2023. It's Intel's 14th generation of processors, built on the 7nm process. More importantly, it's Intel's first CPU to use a "chiplet" design that allows components to be combined like LEGO bricks depending on the required capabilities. It's also Intel's first chip to use extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography in its manufacturing process.

Meteor Lake is Intel's 13th generation Core CPU

Additionally, Meteor Lake is Intel's first client CPU to use the Intel 4 architecture and the company has confirmed it will be available for purchase by the end of 2023, despite concerns about delays.

Meteor Lake's specifications are still largely speculative, although figures for its mobile variants have recently been released. If the CPU does indeed release before the end of 2023, the first devices with the chip will likely be heavy gaming laptops. YouTuber Moore's Law Is Dead recently revealed some expected performance information for these chips, where they'll likely be on par with AMD's Phoenix chips.

Notably, Intel will switch to a new naming system when launching this 14th generation CPU line, including Intel, Intel Core and Intel Ultra.

Multiple AI features

Meteor Lake is built to support a range of AI-centric programs, such as Adobe Photoshop's AI fill function. Intel claims the new CPUs will handle graphics-intensive functions like photo and video editing and high-resolution gaming more efficiently than current products, while using less power, allowing for more efficient performance and longer battery life.

CPU development roadmap released by Intel

This CPU has built-in graphics support, working with Intel's DirectX 12 Ultimate, Ray Tracing, and Xe Super Sampling (XeSS). It's also built to handle Direct Machine Learning (DirectML).

Hardware advances

Intel will manufacture these new chips so they can be combined together. Each component will have a tile-like structure that allows different parts to be combined in different ways depending on the type of device being used.

Meteor Lake will use a system-on-chip (SoC) design, with every chip having its own integrated Intel Arc graphics and a dedicated AI processor called a VPU.

The CPU part of the SoC will likely be made by Intel, while the graphics and other components will be made by a Taiwanese partner. While that makes manufacturing more complicated, it increases production efficiency and speeds up the process.

Details of the mobile versions of Meteor Lake (U, P, and H) have been leaked on Igor's lab blog, revealing that it will include 14 cores. As for the desktop (S series), everything is just speculation with a maximum clock speed of up to 5.5 GHz.

The first consumer product using Meteor Lake CPUs could be a laptop

Release date

The question of when Meteor Lake will be released has been a real concern, with rumors of delays and cancellations swirling around the issue. So far, Intel has said the chip is on track for release in the second half of 2023. The first consumer devices to use the CPU are likely to be laptops.

As for pricing, no official numbers have been given. Intel won’t be selling the Meteor Lake chips themselves, so you’ll have to pay for devices that come with the CPU inside, like laptops or desktops. For reference, Raptor Lake (13th-gen Core) sells for between $300 and $700.
