Intel has unveiled its latest Meteor Lake processor, which is touted as its most power-efficient yet. The processor features a new system-on-chip (SoC) tile with an integrated neural processing unit (NPU) AI engine, enabling on-device AI computation. It also includes a hybrid CPU architecture with performance and efficiency cores, offering up to 14 cores or 20 threads. Intel claims that the next-generation OS scheduler and Thread director will optimize performance and enhance battery life. The Meteor Lake processor is expected to be commercialized as the 14th Gen Intel Core processor.
Intel unveils its most power-efficient Meteor Lake processor with dedicated neural engine
Intel has showcased its next-generation mobile chips, Meteor Lake, which will be fabricated using Intel 4 nodes. The new compute tile of the Meteor Lake processor includes a hybrid CPU architecture with performance and efficiency cores, offering up to 14 cores or 20 threads. Intel claims that the optimized OS scheduler and Thread director will deliver adaptive performance and enhance battery life. The processor also features a dedicated neural processing unit (NPU) AI engine for on-device AI computation. It is expected to be commercialized as the 14th Gen Intel Core processor.
Enhanced Performance and Battery Life
The Meteor Lake processor’s hybrid CPU architecture with performance and efficiency cores aims to deliver optimal performance while maximizing battery life. The optimized OS scheduler and Thread director ensure that tasks are assigned to the appropriate core, taking into account power budget considerations. This allows for best-in-class performance and improved battery efficiency.
