If you are simply becoming a member of us, the precise silicon that may comprise Intel’s 14th-generation processors has been in query for some time now. Leaked roadmaps have indicated that Intel has each disaggregated Meteor Lake processors on the way in which, in addition to a refresh of its extant Raptor Lake processors. It’s been theorized that Meteor Lake could not truly come to desktops, nevertheless it’s additionally been mentioned that it’ll.
These particulars come from a chart leaked by SquashBionic on Twitter, a recognized leaker with a historical past of sharing good info. The chart additionally reveals that Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake processors will share the identical socket, and that they can even use the identical platform: the Intel 800 collection chipsets. That would appear to point that if there may be actually a Raptor Lake refresh, it will not include a brand new platform or household of chipsets, and would as an alternative trip with the present motherboards.
With that in thoughts, it is attainable that we could not see Meteor Lake desktop processors till Arrow Lake can be able to launch. We do not assume that is notably probably as a result of Arrow Lake is listed as scaling all the way down to the 35W and 65W market segments as nicely. Given that it’s anticipated to have revised processor core designs over Meteor Lake, with a notably giant achieve in IPC, it in all probability would not make sense to launch MTL and ARL collectively.
