Intel Meteor Lake-S CPU Tool Surfaces for Desktop Chips
Though rumors declare in any other case, Intel’s 14th Gen Meteor Lake processors can nonetheless debut within the desktop area. If the LGA1851 Meteor Lake-S instrument specifies something, it appears like Intel is testing a desktop variant of Meteor Lake. Possibly the instrument serves different inner functions, so we should not get our hopes up.
There was speak of an LGA18xx socket even earlier than the LGA1700 socket was launched. The LGA1700 options twelfth Gen Alder Lake and thirteenth Gen Raptor Lake processors. Subsequently, Raptor Lake’s successor, Meteor Lake or not, will seemingly debut in a brand new socket. It’s well-known that Intel’s socket dedication just isn’t as steady as AMD’s. For instance, AMD has dedicated to assist the most recent AM5 socket till 2025 and past. If we have a look at earlier Intel sockets such because the LGA1200 socket, it solely housed two generations of processors.
{hardware} detective momomo_us (opens in new tab) lately found the LGA1851-MTL-S Interposer (Q6UB1851MTLS), which apparently implies that Intel is getting ready Meteor Lake-S desktop chips. The agent’s job is to offer {an electrical} conduit that connects one socket or connection to a different. Nevertheless, with out entry to technical specs or documentation, it’s tough to foretell the true objective of the Meteor Lake-S agent.
The interlude reveals 1,851 people aligned with the nickname LGA1851. Assuming that is the desktop socket for Meteor Lake, we may be simply an 8.9% enhance in contacts in comparison with the present LGA1700 socket. Nevertheless, the latest swap from LGA1200 to LGA1700 socket gave a contact enhance of 41.7%.
A previous leak (opens in new tab) An alleged Intel doc allegedly factors to the usage of the 14th Gen alias for the upcoming Meteor Lake (MTL) processors. Nevertheless, the doc didn’t specify whether or not Meteor Lake is coming to cell, desktop, or each. It is not exceptional for some Intel microarchitectures like Tiger Lake to remain within the cell section. The doc contains Tiger Lake underneath its eleventh Era part; due to this fact, the doc considers each cell and desktop product traces.
An unconfirmed Intel roadmap hints that Meteor Lake is probably not coming to desktop any time quickly. Nevertheless, the roadmap has led many to imagine that Intel is getting ready a Raptor Lake Refresh (RPL-R) for the Q3 launch. So it is believable that the rumored Raptor Lake Refresh is the final experience for Intel’s LGA1700 socket.
Intel has made lots of progress with Meteor Lake currently. The chipmaker has lately deployed some Linux patches and implied an L4 cache with the upcoming Meteor Lake chips. An Intel patent has additionally surfaced confirming Meteor Lake’s L4 cache, for which Intel makes use of the alias “Adamantine” for its L4 cache. Cell Meteor Lake is scheduled to launch this yr, and if the desktop variant is in Intel’s plans, it in all probability will not arrive till 2024, assuming some confidence in Raptor Lake Refresh.
