Thank CTOnews.com netizens soft media Xinyou 1933769 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, October 15, at the Intel ON Technology Innovation Summit, Intel announced that the first generation of Core Ultra processors codenamed Meteor Lake will be available on December 14. The first batch of notebooks equipped with Core Ultra mobile processors are expected to be launched at the end of the year, with a large number of shipments expected around the Spring Festival.

Similar to i3, i5, i7, and i9, the first generation of Core Ultra processors have corresponding Ultra 7 and Ultra 9.

Judging from the parameters given by @ TheGalox_, the Core Ultra 9 185H processor uses a 16-core 22-thread design (that is, 6 P cores, 8 E cores, 2 LPE cores) with an acceleration frequency of up to 5.1 GHz.

Core Ultra 9 185H is slightly less frequent than i9-13900H, but has more cores and threads. In addition, it uses the new Intel 4 process, faster WiFi support, and a new AI engine.

Intel said the Intel Core Ultra processor, codenamed Meteor Lake, was a turning point in Intel's client processor roadmap: it adopted a client-side core design based on Foveros encapsulation technology for the first time. In addition to the significant improvements in the performance and power consumption ratio of NPU and Intel 4 process nodes, the processor also brings standalone graphics card-level performance by integrating Intel sharp graphics cards.

Thanks to the advanced Foveros 3D packaging technology, Meteor Lake adopts a separate module architecture, which divides the entire processor into functional partitions of computing modules, IO modules, SoC modules and graphics modules, bringing about revolutionary architectural changes in Intel client SoC in the past 40 years.

The processor uses a 3D high-performance hybrid architecture consisting of performance cores (Redwood Cove) and energy efficiency cores (Crestmont) and low power efficiency cores. Intel says it has achieved an excellent energy consumption ratio in the history of PC processors and integrated neural network processing units (NPU) into PC processors for the first time, accelerating the popularity of artificial intelligence. Brief introduction of 4 unique modules of Meteor Lake attached to CTOnews.com:

Computing module (Compute Tile): uses the latest generation of energy efficiency core and performance core micro-architecture and enhanced functions. The module adopts a new generation of Intel 4 process technology, which has made great progress in energy consumption ratio.

SoC module (SoC Tile): innovative low power island design, integrated with neural network processing unit (NPU), brings energy-efficient AI performance to PC, and is compatible with standardized program interfaces such as OpenVINO, which is convenient for AI development and application popularization. The new low power consumption energy efficiency core further optimizes the balance between energy saving and performance. The SoC module also integrates a memory controller, media codec processing and display unit, and supports 8K HDR and AV1 codecs as well as HDMI 2.1 and Display Port 2.1 standards. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are also supported, including Wi-Fi 6e.

Graphics module (GPU Tile): this processor integrates Intel's sharp graphics architecture and provides independent graphics-level performance in integrated graphics cards, supporting RayTracing and Intel XeSS. With the jump in graphics capabilities and higher energy efficiency performance, Meteor Lake is able to provide excellent performance per watt.

IO module (IO Tile): contains industry-leading connectivity and integrates Thunderbolt 4 and PCIe Gen 5.0.

According to IT House, the Intel Core Ultra mobile processor will use a new core display, upgrading from Xe LP to Xe LPG, doubling the performance per watt compared to the previous generation of Iris Xe.

According to the whistleblower "Moore's Law Is Dead", the Intel Ultra 1 mobile processor uses a maximum of 8 Xe core, uses a new low-power graphics IP, shows 33% more graphics core than the previous generation, and optimizes power consumption and chip area efficiency to support complete DX12 Ultimate API.

In addition, the new generation of nuclear display has a higher frequency, and the frequency at the same voltage can directly impact above the 2GHz. The flagship core Ultra mobile processor is expected to have the highest performance of the AMD Radeon 780m core display.

Among the Meteor Lake series processors, Intel introduced a low-power computing island for the first time, with dual "low-power energy efficiency cores" (Low Power E-cores) built into it, which is suitable for light loads. The low power island design is located in the SoC module (SoC Tile) of the new generation processor, with two new low power efficiency cores built into it to further optimize the balance between energy saving and performance.

In addition to IO Complex, the part of Intel SoC module is named low power island, in addition to low power E core, there are media module, display engine, NPU, IPI and other components.

CTOnews.com summarizes the specifications of Core Ultra 1 processor revelations as follows:

The 7W processor is the highest specification of 1 large core + 8 small core, and shows the highest 4Xe core.

The 9W processor is the highest specification of 2 large cores + 8 small cores and shows the highest 4Xe core.

The 15W processor is the highest specification of 4 large cores + 8 small cores, and shows the highest 8Xe core.

The 28W processor is the highest specification of 6 large cores + 8 small cores, and shows the highest 8Xe core.

The 45W processor is the highest specification of 6 large cores + 8 small cores and shows the highest 8Xe core.
