One thing to look ahead to: Intel launched its Thirteenth-gen ‘Raptor Lake’ lineup in 2022, and is anticipated to launch its Raptor Lake refresh later this 12 months earlier than rolling out the ‘Meteor Lake’ chips someday in 2024. A number of leaks over the previous 12 months have advised that Intel might market its Meteor Lake processor household because the 14th-gen Core lineup, however the firm by no means confirmed it formally. That, nevertheless, appears to have modified now, because of a brand new leak.
Intel has seemingly confirmed long-standing rumors that its Meteor Lake CPU household will launch because the 14th-gen Core processor lineup. The affirmation comes from what’s stated to be an inside Intel doc, posted on Twitter by tipster @momomo_us. The file, which lists {hardware} help for the corporate’s Media SDK and oneVPL GPU runtimes, mentions a number of generations of Intel’s processor lineups, and clearly identifies the 14th-gen Core processor household as Meteor Lake.
Whereas the doc didn’t point out something in regards to the upcoming Raptor Lake refresh, it does recommend that they’ll doubtless retain their Thirteenth-gen Core branding like the unique Raptor Lake lineup. Nonetheless, whether or not Intel muddies the waters and refers to each the Meteor Lake and Raptor Lake refresh chips as 14th-gen stays to be seen. Intel already markets each Alder Lake and Raptor Lake CPUs as Thirteenth-gen, so it will not be a significant shock if the corporate would not use the 14th-gen branding solely for Meteor Lake.

The Meteor Lake household was initially anticipated to be launched by the top of this 12 months, however the Raptor Lake refresh is now predicted to push the next-gen lineup to 2024. The highest-end Meteor Lake laptop computer chip is rumored to come back with 14 cores, together with 6 efficiency cores and eight effectivity cores. In the meantime, the top-of-the-line Meteor Lake desktop SKU is alleged to have as much as 22 cores and 28 threads, which is lower than the 24 cores and 32 threads discovered within the Core i9-13900K (Raptor Lake).
Following the Meteor Lake launch, Intel is anticipated to debut its Arrow Lake processor lineup, probably in 2025 or late 2024. The flagship Arrow Lake chip is anticipated to have 24 cores and 32 threads, identical to the highest Raptor Lake SKU. Not a lot else is thought in regards to the Arrow Lake lineup but, however we hope to get extra particulars as soon as the Meteor Lake launch is completed and dusted.
