Intel Desktop Meteor Lake-S CPUs have up to 22 cores, Arrow Lake-S up to 24 cores, Quad Xe iGPU cores and 125W TDPs

Detailed configurations of Intel’s 14th Gen Meteor Lake-S and 15th Gen Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs Information has been leaked giving us information about the various SKUs, core counts, TDPs and integrated graphics configuration.

Intel Meteor Lake-S CPUs will be powered by Arrow Lake-S with 6 Performance Cores, 8 P Cores in LGA 1851 Socket

According to an internal Intel chart, details of their 14th Generation and 15th Generation Desktop CPUs have been leaked. we know from previous reports Intel is developing a new socket known as “V” that will offer support for at least two generations of desktop CPUs, Meteor Lake-S and Arrow Lake-S. This socket will be very similar in dimensions to the existing LGA 1700/1800 socket, but will offer additional support for more pins and new/improved features.

Based on the leaked slides, it looks like Intel’s 14th Generation Meteor Lake-S Desktop CPUs will take a step back and reduce the number of P cores while keeping the number of E-cores. The lineup listed in the charts includes five different SKU configurations with top options of up to 22 colors in a combination of 6 P-Cores and 16 E-Cores. The P-Cores in the Meteor Lake CPUs are based on the all-new Redwood Cove architecture, while the E-Cores will use the Crestmont design. Both of these are new and improved architectures as reported by Coelacanth-Dream a few days ago. The full list of configurations includes:

• Meteor Lake-S 22 (6P+16E) / 4 Xe cores / 125W TDP
• Meteor Lake-S 22 (6P+16E) / 4 Xe cores / 65W TDP
• Meteor Lake-S 22 (6P+16E) / 4 Xe cores / 35W TDP
• Meteor Lake-S 14 (6P+8E) / 4Xe cores / 65WTDP
• Meteor Lake-S 14 (6P+8E) / 4 Xe cores / 35WTDP

In addition to the SKUs, we learn that all SKUs will have at least 4 Xe cores for the iGPU, offering 64 Execution Units or 512 ALUs. That’s 2 Xe cores less than the DG2-equipped Arc A310 graphics card, the lowest-end discrete board in the family, but an integrated GPU with this much capability will be the same or better. RDNA 2 iGPU On AMD’s Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs. Only the top die configuration will have the 125W “Unlocked” SKU range, while the rest will be in the standard “Non-K” and “T” series with 65W and 35W TDP.

Moving on, we have the 15th Generation Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs, which will bring back the 24 cores we got in the Raptor Lake CPUs today. The Arrow Lake-S flagship will use up to 24 cores, a combination of 8 Performance Cores and 16 Efficiency Cores. Below is the full list of SKUs expected in the lineup:

• Arrow Lake-S 24 (8P+16E) / 4 Xe cores / 125W TDP
• Arrow Lake-S 24 (8P+16E) / 4 Xe cores / 65W TDP
• Arrow Lake-S 24 (8P+16E) / 4 Xe cores / 35W TDP

Intel Desktop CPU Core Count Progression:

The difference with the Arrow Lake-S line is that all configurations have the best 24-core mat, and the only difference is the TDP itself. It is likely that lower base count SKUs will be available from these dies. It appears that Intel has kept the 4 Xe cores from the Meteor Lake series, but we expect these to feature the new Arc graphics architecture. The 14th Gen Meteor Lake chips are based on the TSMC 5nm GPU architecture, while the 15th Gen Arrow Lake CPUs will use the TSMC 3nm graphics architecture. as we reported here.

We can’t say for sure if Intel’s future integrated GPUs will keep the same number of ALUs and ABs as the current Alchemist chips, but Arrow Lake-P parts It is expected to offer up to 2560 Xe cores That’s a 5x increase over integrated GPUs on desktop parts.

during recent investors are calling, Intel said they are making really good progress on their Intel 4 and Intel 3 products. The 14th Gen Meteor Lake production phase is scheduled to be delivered this quarter with volume growth in 2023, with Intel 3 expected to enter early production by the end of 2023. Note that these are preliminary charts and we are still years away. It’s far from launching Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake CPUs
