Discussion Intel Meteor, Arrow, Lunar & Panther Lakes Discussion Threads

[Tigerick]

As Hot Chips 34 starting this week, Intel will unveil technical information of upcoming Meteor Lake (MTL) and Arrow Lake (ARL), new generation platform after Raptor Lake. Both MTL and ARL represent new direction which Intel will move to multiple chiplets and combine as one SoC platform.

MTL also represents new compute tile that based on Intel 4 process which is based on EUV lithography, a first from Intel. Intel expects to ship MTL mobile SoC in 2023.

ARL will come after MTL so Intel should be shipping it in 2024, that is what Intel roadmap is telling us. ARL compute tile will be manufactured by Intel 20A process, a first from Intel to use GAA transistors called RibbonFET.





Intel Core Ultra 100 - Meteor Lake



As mentioned by Tomshardware, TSMC will manufacture the I/O, SoC, and GPU tiles. That means Intel will manufacture only the CPU and Foveros tiles. (Notably, Intel calls the I/O tile an 'I/O Expander,' hence the IOE moniker.)

When is that expected to be released?

H2'26.
It's PTL IP in a very neatly cost-optimized config. Good.

That's still some time to keep Raptor Lake alive. Who would have thought Intel would still be relying on Raptor Lake after 3, notebook specific CPUS generations were released?
Meteor Lake, Lunar Lake, Panther Lake.

Is it going to be monolithic? Because otherwise, if it has Foveros packaging it will not be that cost optimized.

Money.

Meteor Lake, Lunar Lake, Panther Lake.

All woefully cost-inefficient, margin-dilutive parts.

Is it going to be monolithic?

Yea

Premium products maybe 4+0+4+4 config would be cheap for PTL

Yes with N6 PCH

E-Cores are central in Intel’s CPU strategy.

Somehow I am not excited should have used 9070XT or 4080

On paper, that should mean good I/O and RAM speeds.

Like I said before for the tiles config.
