It is a little disappointing that Intel’s impending 14th-gen desktop processors are only anticipated to offer a small upgrade. The mobile series, meanwhile, is proving to be pretty fascinating. Executives from Intel announced that artificial intelligence will power the next 14th-generation Meteor Lake series during this year’s Hot Chips conference at Stanford University.
According to information provided by PCWorld, Meteor Lake processors will be able to employ AI to control power and the switch between the active and low-power states.
It is known as the “Intel Energy Efficiency Architecture” by the manufacturer, and it is anticipated that future products, such as its next client CPUs, will use the AI-based power strategy.
The typical method for improving performance entails adding power to the processor. This enables the CPU to work at a faster rate, hastening task completion. However, before switching to a low-power mode, the CPU must ascertain when a task is finished. Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) is the name of this idea. Determining the processor’s ideal operating frequency is a problem for power management.
The algorithm will be able to comprehend and anticipate how a user will visit a webpage, browse its content, wrap up the interaction, and go on to the next activity. Several additional activities have used the exact same algorithm. This is unique since the algorithm discovered these procedures on its own and extracted minute behavioural patterns that went beyond what Intel had originally designed.
According to Rotem, Meteor Lake CPUs will also provide better responsiveness by up to 35% using AI, as determined by the time it takes for the CPU to switch to a high-power mode. Finding the best moment to move to a low-power state, on the other hand, can be valuable and result in energy savings of up to 15% when compared to earlier designs. Rotem also emphasised the distinction between the more general concept of overall power consumption and “energy,” which is defined as the work completed over time divided by the power used for that effort.
Although Intel hasn’t officially announced a release date for the Meteor Lake family of mobile processors, a rumour from YouTuber Moore’s Law Is Dead earlier this year says that it should hit the market in October 2023.
