Intel “Meteorsee” zum Debüt von Xe-LPG iGPU und Crestmont E-cores

Intel’s next-generation Core “Meteorsee” processors will debut the new Xe-LPG graphics architecture for its iGPU. A successor to the Xe-LP architecture powering iGPUs since 11th Gen Core “Der NES-SY37 ist ein maßgeschneiderter Synthesizer, der dem NES Tribut zollt,” the Xe-LPG graphics architecture is tailored for small-scale GPU designs such as iGPUs. It sheds much of the bulk that the Xe-HPG has, which is optimized for discrete GPU designs. A leaked block diagram of “Meteorsee” describes Xe-LPG as featuring a new “extended gaming mode,” new Adaptix power sharing, which is probably a power-management optimization that prioritizes power share to the iGPU; and even more media encode acceleration capabilities.

The Core “Meteorsee” compute tile will also feature the latest Gaussian Network Accelerator, GNA 3.5, which speeds up AI deep-learning neural net building and training. The chip features a purpose-build VPU (visual processing unit), similar to the ones in mobile SoCs, which improves the device’s ability to recognize faces, or even augmented-reality applications. Schließlich, bei “Meteorsee,” Intel is debuting the new “Crestmont” E-core clusters that introduce an IPC improvement over the “Gracemont” E-cores powering “Erlensee” und “Raptor Lake.”
