Intel’s engineers have managed to push improve CPU core clocks of the upcoming Meteor Lake processors previous 5.0 GHz, in step with renowned {{hardware}} leaker Golden Pig Enhance Pack (by HXL). The purportedly improved frequency potential of Intel’s next-generation CPU cores would allow Intel’s Meteor Lake merchandise to produce significantly elevated effectivity than the company’s present decisions.
Primarily based on the leak, Intel’s 14th-Gen Core Extraordinarily 7 processor now reaches a single-core improve clock of 5.0 GHz, whereas the Core Extraordinarily 9 goes earlier 5.0 GHz. As with all leaks, this must be taken with a grain of salt as the information is unofficial, and it is unclear whether or not or not these frequencies is likely to be achieved on mass-produced silicon.
Intel’s updated Thirteenth-Gen Core ‘Raptor Lake’ processors for high-end notebooks improve their high-performance cores to 5.0 GHz and previous with out points. Within the meantime, boosting the CPU cores of Meteor Lake is also a bit tougher.
On the one hand, the general-purpose CPU cores of Meteor Lake are housed inside a revolutionary 3D-stacked compute tile and are made on Intel 4 course of know-how that makes use of extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV). The model new manufacturing node ensures to produce fairly a couple of advantages over Intel 7 node (beforehand generally called 10nm Enhanced SuperFin). Nonetheless then once more, the previous-gen fabrication know-how was designed to permit datacenter-oriented CPUs with comparatively lower improve clocks, so Intel 4 won’t be as ‘fast’ as its predecessor.
One different issue about boosting the frequency of Meteor Lake’s compute tile is that it would get too scorching or too power hungry ultimately. Within the meantime, being a multi-tile 3D-stacked design, Meteor Lake would possibly, by definition, be additional power hungry than the identical product that features a monolithic die. Due to this fact, the CPU’s power consumption should be saved in confirm.
Alleged Specs of Intel’s Meteor Lake CPUs for Laptops
PL1 TDP | Core Configuration | Complete Cores | iGPU | Silicon | Bundle |
7W | 1P + 8E | 5 to 9 | 3 Cars – 4 Cars | Meteor Lake | M |
9W | 2P + 8E | 6 to 10 | 3 Cars – 4 Cars | Meteor Lake | M |
15W | 4P + 8E | 6 to 12 | 3 Cars – 8 Cars | Meteor Lake | M |
28W | 6P + 8E | 10 to 14 | 7 Cars – 8 Cars | Meteor Lake | P |
45W | 6P + 8E | 12 to 14 | 8 Cars | Meteor Lake | H |
55W | 8P + 16E | 14 to 24 | 32 EU | Raptor Lake | HX |
Since Intel’s mobile 14th Period Core Extraordinarily-badged ‘Meteor Lake’ processors often will not be going to have a core rely profit over present Thirteenth Period Core ‘Raptor Lake’ CPUs (every have as a lot as six high-performance cores and as a lot as eight energy-efficient cores), it is likely to be essential for them to have extreme clocks to clearly outperform predecessors in all workloads.
In spite of everything, the model new processors are set to operate some new accelerators and choices which will most likely improve the particular person experience mainly, and AI workloads particularly. Nonetheless, many people will nonetheless want to guage CPUs in points like video video games {{and professional}} performance-hungry features, and these are prone to depend upon good-old CPU cores, so the higher the frequency, the upper.
Nonetheless, as a result of the main points about CPU improve clocks of Intel’s Meteor Lake would not come from Intel and we have no idea how latest or outdated it is, we should all the time take it with discretion.
