Intel has unveiled its upcoming Meteor Lake client platform, which marks a significant shift in the architecture of its consumer chips. Meteor Lake utilizes a tiled, disaggregated chiplet architecture, breaking up the functions of a CPU into four individual tiles. It introduces new cores, including a low-power island, and incorporates a Neural Processing Unit for on-chip AI capabilities. The architecture is built on Intel's Foveros 3D packaging technology and aims to enhance performance, energy efficiency, and power management. Intel sees Meteor Lake as a crucial step in its strategy to drive PC innovation for the next decade and compete in the mobile market.
