They will be shown at CES 2024 Promotional materials have appeared on the Internet with photos of Dell and Alienware laptops, and some of them will be equipped with the latest Intel Core Ultra processors. [caption id="attachment_85043" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel Core Ultra processors[/caption] This is what laptops with new Intel Core Ultra processors look like. The images show the XPS 13, 14, 16, as well as the Alienware m16 R2 and m18 R2. All new products will receive a 14th generation Intel Core CPU, but we know that this same 14th generation will include both Raptor Lake Refresh and the latest Meteor Lake. But only the latter will bear the names Core Ultra. Also, some laptops will have discrete graphics cards of the GeForce RTX 40 line. There are no other technical details yet, but these are all fairly high-end laptops. They should be announced at CES 2024, like many other laptops based on the new Intel processors.

But this is hardly good for the CPU Alder Lake and Raptor Lake processors are characterized by very high power consumption and heating. Raptor Lake Refresh, due to increased frequencies and the absence of any changes in the architecture, will consume and heat up even more. And if desired, in some cases it will be possible to allow these CPUs to heat up to 115 degrees.

MSI will make it possible to increase the processor throttling threshold for new Intel CPUs from the current 107 to 115 degrees. This feature will be available in the BIOS of motherboards based on 700 and 600 series chipsets. The setting will allow the processor to operate stably at temperatures up to 115 degrees. And this will only be possible with the new 14th-generation Intel Core. It's unclear whether these temperatures are acceptable for the new CPUs, but the setting is likely designed for overclocking enthusiasts rather than casual users.

They will be released at the end of the year Intel has announced that Meteor Lake processors will be released at the end of December. At the same time, Intel nominally announced these CPUs. We have not yet been told about the parameters and models, but we have been given a more complete overview of the architectures, features, and technologies. [caption id="attachment_57388" align="aligncenter" width="701"] Intel Core processors[/caption] Intel says the release of Meteor Lake marks the start of a new era for the company as it moves away from the Intel 7 node and begins deploying its 3D EUV lithograph Foveros packaging for the client mobile platform. Meteor Lake is an extremely important product for Intel, and at the same time, it is new in literally everything. This is the new Intel 4 technical process, the chipset layout used by the company for the first time in this segment, and a disaggregated configuration, which means the use of chipsets created using different technical processes. Let us remember that the Intel 4 process technology will be used for the processor chipset, and the GPU is generally produced by TSMC. 15th generation Intel Core processors introduced. Meteor Lake, like the previous several generations of Intel CPUs, contains in the configuration large P-cores, in this case based on the Redwood Cove architecture, and small E-cores on the Crestmont architecture. An unusual feature is the two small cores integrated into the SoC chipset, which Intel calls a Low Power Island. These new LP E-cores are designed to allow light workloads and processes to be offloaded from a more power-hungry compute cluster and moved entirely to a more power-efficient cluster in the SoC. That is these two cores will be used only separately for non-resource-intensive tasks, although this remains to be verified. Other important additions include Intel's first Neural Processing Unit (NPU). Another interesting feature is that each chipset, or tile as Intel itself calls it, has its power controller, which should make the CPU more energy efficient. There are four tiles in total: CPU, GPU, SoC, and I/O tile. However, Intel only produces the CPU tile and the I/O tile. The GPU is manufactured at TSMC facilities using the N5 process technology, and the SoC tile is produced using the N6 process technology. The company also says that the new CPUs have better instructions executed per clock than the current line, but there are no details. Also, Intel has not yet said anything about cache memory sizes. Let's remember that Intel says that Meteor Lake processors will be released on December 14. But these are mobile CPUs, so it’s not very clear in what form they will hit the market that day. It may be possible to buy a laptop with such a processor only at the beginning of 2024.
