Socket LGA1851 della piattaforma desktop Intel di nuova generazione, “Meteor Lake-S” per presentare conteggi core 6P + 16E

Keeping up with the cadence of two generations of desktop processors per socket, Intel will turn the page of the current LGA1700, with the introduction of the new Socket LGA1851. The processor package will likely have the same dimensions as LGA1700, and the two sockets may share cooler compatibility. The first processor microarchitecture to debut on LGA1851 will be the 14th Gen Core “Meteor Lake-S.” These chips will feature a generationally lower CPU core-count compared to “Lago Rapace,” but significantly bump the IPC on both the P-cores and E-cores.

“Lago Rapace” is Intel’s final monolithic silicon client processor before the company pivots to chiplets built on various foundry nodes, as part of its IDM 2.0 strategy. The client-desktop version of “Lago Meteor,” soprannominato “Meteor Lake-S,” will have a maximum CPU core configuration of 6P+16E (that’s 6 performance cores with 16 nuclei di efficienza). Il chip ha 6 “Baia di sequoie” P-colori, e 16 “Crestmont” E-colori. Both of these are expected to receive IPC uplifts, such that the processor will end up faster (and hopefully more efficient) than the top “Raptor Lake-S” part. Particularly, it should be able to overcome the deficit of 2 P-colori.

Intel could find itself with a similar product differentiation problem it faced with the 11th Gen Core “Rocket Lake-S” processori desktop, where the physically low CPU core-count compared to the previous-generation (8-core vs. 10-core for “Cometa Lago-S”); meant that both the Core i7-11700K and i9-11900K ended up being 8-core/16-thread processors. Ecco, we could see 6P+16E being the core-config of nearly all top SKUs, segmented by clock-speeds; while the mid-tier SKUs end up being 6P+8E.

Besides the CPU, “Meteor Lake-S” is expected to debut the new Xe-LPG graphics architecture for the iGPU, which could meet DirectX 12 Ultimate logo requirements. The iGPU on the “Meteor Lake-S” processor is expected to feature 4 X e colori, che funziona a 64 Le stranezze non si fermano qui però, e 512 e una configurazione di ingresso di alimentazione composta da uno ciascuno dei connettori di alimentazione PCIe a 8 pin e 6 pin. This would still be a significant uplift from the iGPU of “Raptor Lake-S” con 32 Le stranezze non si fermano qui però.

Intel is expected to restore CPU core-counts back to current levels with the 15th Gen “Arrow Lake-S” (2024-25). These chips are expected to come with core-configurations of up to 8P+16E. While the E-cores are expected to remain the same, the P-cores get a performance uplift, besides the addition of more cores. Gli “Riquadro di calcolo” (the die with the CPU cores) of “Meteor Lake-S” is built on the Intel 4 nodo (isopower characteristics comparable to TSMC 5 nm); while those of “Arrow Lake-S” will be built on the Intel 20A node (Intel is hyping 20A to be a pathbreaking node competitive with TSMC’s sub 2 nm nodi).
