Twitter leaker Komachi has revealed that an early Intel Meteor Lake-M CPU sample with a total of 12 cores was found inside a Dell Inspirion test unit. The Intel 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU is depicted as an engineering sample with the designation “U3E1” according to information from the UserBenchmark leak.
The chip, which has a total of 12 cores and 16 threads in a 4 P-Core & 8 E-Core configuration, is still an early ES sample. Despite having a base clock speed of 1.2 GHz, the CPU only operates at an average clock speed of 0.55 GHz.
This is to be anticipated from early samples, as has been the case with the majority of Intel CPUs in the early ES state, given that Meteor Lake CPUs are still a few months away from going on sale. The clocks gradually improve as the launch draws near, as we have observed with samples from Alder Lake and Raptor Lake.
The laptop’s GPU is listed as Intel Arc Graphics, and while this might lead one to believe that it is a discrete GPU, we think it is actually the new Tiled-GPU (tGPU), which will perform significantly better than the UHD and Iris Xe graphics found on current laptop chips as iGPUs.
Intel Meteor Lake Mobility CPU Lineup Expected Features:
- Triple-Hybrid CPU Architecture (P/E/LP-E Cores)
- Brand New Redwood Cove (P-Cores)
- Brand New Crestmont (E-Cores)
- Up To 14 Cores (6+8) For H/P Series & Up To 12 Cores (4+8) For U Series CPUs
- Intel 4 Process Node For CPU, TSMC For tGPU
- Intel ‘Xe-MTL’ GPU With Up To 192/128 EUs
- Up To LPDDR5X-7467 & DDR5-5200 Support
- Up To 96 GB DDR5 & 64 GB LPDDR5X Capacities
- Intel VPU For AI Inferencing With Atom Cores
- x8 Gen 5 Lanes For Discrete GPU (Only H-Series)
- Triple x4 M.2 Gen 4 SSD Support
- Four Thunderbolt 4 Ports
The Redwood Cove P-Cores and Crestmont E-Cores are anticipated to be used in the Meteor Lake chips’ CPU architecture. The Crestmont E-Cores will undergo a significant architectural makeover, in contrast to the P-Cores, which are reportedly based on a similar design to the Golden Cove and Raptor Cove cores that came before them.
The 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPUs, according to Intel, will have a brand-new tiled architecture, which essentially means that the company has chosen to go chiplet all the way. The Meteor Lake CPUs have 4 main tiles. There are four tiles total: the IOE Tile, SOC Tile, GPU Tile, and compute Tile.
The CPU Tile and GFX Tile are parts of the compute tile. While the graphics tile will be completely new, the CPU Tile will use a new hybrid core design to deliver higher performance throughput at lower power.
