Leaked Intel slides detail Meteor Lake mobile specs

Recently leaked slides from Intel have unveiled the core count for the upcoming Meteor Lake mobile CPU lineup. While the company had previously confirmed the use of Raptor Lake Refresh for top-tier chips, it appears that the majority of the series will rely on the all-new Meteor Lake lineup. The slides depict the various tiers of the CPU series, showcasing the continuation of six power segments.

The slides were shown in a video by Moore's Law Is Dead, which also claims details on upcoming Raptor Lake Refresh processors and next-gen Intel Arc graphics cards.

The following table details the specifications for each of the six power tiers that will comprise the next generation of Intel mobile chips:

PL1 TDP	Core Configurations	Total Cores	iGPU	Silicon	Series	Package
7W	1P + 4E, 1P + 8E	5 to 9	3 Xe – 4 Xe	Meteor Lake	MTL-U	M
9W	2P+4E, 2P + 8E	6 to 10	3 Xe – 4 Xe	Meteor Lake	MTL-U	M
15W	2P+4E, 2P + 8E, 4P + 8E	6 to 12	3 Xe – 8 Xe	Meteor Lake	MTL-U	P
28W	2P + 8E, 4P + 8E, 6P + 8E	10 to 14	7 Xe – 8 Xe	Meteor Lake	MTL-P	P
45W	4P + 8E, 6P + 8E	12 to 14	8 Xe	Meteor Lake	MTL-H	P
55W	6P + 8E, 8P + 8/12E, 8P + 16E	14 to 24	32 EU	Raptor Lake	RPL-HX	S-BGA

Interestingly, although Intel has emphasised the Meteor Lake architecture, the last column suggests Raptor Lake chips will still be part of the next-gen mobile CPU lineup. Aside from the difference in CPU core count, the notable distinction lies in the GPU upgrade for Meteor Lake, which features the advanced Xe-LPG architecture. Conversely, the higher-end SKUs with Raptor Lake will retain the architecture of the current iteration, with a limitation of 32 units.

The Xe-LPG integrated graphics will feature up to 8 Xe units, which translates into 128 Vector Engines and 1024 FP32 cores (same as the Arc A380). Additionally, a new slide introduces the Xe-LPG architecture, highlighting advancements in power and area optimisations, support for advanced DX12U graphics, and a significant 33% increase in graphics core capabilities.

KitGuru says: Seeing as the HX chips will still be based on Raptor Lake, we wouldn't be surprised if some Meteor Lake-H chips were able to outperform them, more so in single-core workloads.
