Intel Pamer Prototypes Meteor Lake CPU With AI Support

JAKARTA - During Computex's performance in Taipei, Taiwan, many companies showed off their new products. But the most tempting thing is Intel with its Meteor Lake CPU architecture.

At the trade show, Intel demonstrated that the laptop, which runs the new CPU prototype, was integrated with the new Vision Processing Unit (VPU) of the third generation, Movidius.

The purpose of the VPU, in turn, is to provide a third rail option for AI processing. VPU hardware is made using Advanced Blue processing better than chips without VPUs, which only consumes one-fifth of power consumption.

Through the VPU, Intel also brings a text-to-image Stable Diffusion AI program to produce faster work of art processing.

This particular processor is designed to handle certain AI workloads much more efficiently than general purpose CPUs or even GPUs, thus allowing this kind of workload to run locally on a computer.

The Lake Meteor also leveraged the company's Foveros manufacturing process to accumulate multiple layers of separate chipslets (separate tiles) created by Intel itself in the new Intel 4 manufacturing process and which was turned over to TSMC, for the first time and marked an early way for the client segment.

The design of this chipset allows advanced power management, meaning each tile can be targeted individually for certain workloads.

Still in the demonstration, there is also a new GPU with Intel finally bringing Arc graphics to an integrated architecture, including support for X12 Ultimate, ray tracing, and XesS in a low-power design.

The Lake meteor has 16 cores and 22 threads, including in the 6+8 configuration with in-app gains on the client side, including enhanced audio effects, game effects, AI assistants (Microsoft 365 Copilot) and bringing AI locally to the client machine. But there are no further details yet whether this will change when launched.

The plan is for the Lake Meteor to be released as part of the 14th Generation Intel Core family starting later this year. This was quoted from Gagdet360 and XDA Developers, Tuesday, May 30.
