Intel to unveil Meteor Lake Core Extremely and Fifth-Gen Xeon CPUs at AI occasion on December 14

Briefly: Intel has confirmed it’ll unveil its Core Extremely CPUs, aka the Meteor Lake chips, alongside the Fifth-gen Xeon Scalable processors (Emerald Rapids) at an “AI All over the place” occasion on December 14 at 10am ET/7am PT.

Intel beforehand mentioned that Meteor Lake represents its greatest processor rebranding in 15 years. Disappearing is the acquainted “i” from the earlier era Core i3, i5, i7, and i9; they are going to now be generally known as Intel Core Extremely 3/5/7/9.

There had been early rumors that Meteor Lake can be out there in each the cell and desktop area. However the chips are primarily designed for laptops, and will not be out there in a socketed type that may slot in LGA1851 motherboards; as a substitute, the desktop variations will probably be fused to motherboards as ball grid array (BGA) packages for use in AIOs, NUCs, and different compact OEM PCs.

Because the occasion’s identify suggests, there will probably be a give attention to the substitute intelligence-related skills of the chips, which use Intel’s 4nm course of and have the corporate’s first built-in AI accelerators, generally known as neural processing models. The chips additionally transfer to a multi-tile chiplet design. As we beforehand noted, numerous parts of the completed chips had been constructed utilizing totally different chip fabrication applied sciences from a number of corporations and packaged collectively utilizing a lot of Intel’s personal distinctive chip packaging applied sciences.

Intel lately confirmed off one in all its upcoming Meteor Lake processors running Dying Mild 2 with no devoted GPU, highlighting the advantages of its XeSS (Xe Tremendous Sampling) upscaling expertise.

We additionally heard that the potential 185G flagship will possible have a maximum boost clock of as much as 5.1GHz, whereas the 165H and 155H might have peak clock speeds of as much as 5.0GHz and 4.8GHz, respectively. One other leak listed the 185H as having 16 cores and 22 Threads and confirmed it outperforming the Core i9-13900H in single- and multi-core benchmarks by round 4% and 14%, respectively.

The Fifth Technology Xeon Emerald Rapids processors, in the meantime, will succeed Intel’s 4th-gen Sapphire Rapids Xeon CPUs, and are set to compete with AMD’s upcoming Epyc Turin chips.
