Intel's 12th generation core processor was released last year, and the heterogeneous design of performance + energy efficiency was launched for the first time. This year's 13th generation core code Raptor lake was released in the second half of the year, which is an improved version of the 12th generation. Next year's 14th generation core meteor Lake will be greatly changed and upgraded the Intel 4 process, which is also Intel's first EUV process.
The architecture of the 14th generation core will also be greatly changed. For the first time, it adopts a non single chip design and elastically integrates multiple small chip modules, including the next generation hybrid architecture CPU, tgpu core display engine and AI acceleration unit, with very low power consumption.
*The 14th generation core meteor lake will also be the first processor in Intel Core series that uses a large number of 3D FoxOs hybrid packages, * there are mainly three parts encapsulated together, one is the computing module, the other is the GPU module, up to 96-192 computing units, and the third is the soc-lp, which should include the input and output parts such as memory controller and PCIe controller.
At a recent meeting, Intel low-key announced the real body of the 14th generation core. According to the photos taken by the Japanese media pcwatch, the 14th generation core displayed is still a mobile version, which is really different from the previous processor. It is composed of at least four modules.
According to the previous disclosure, since the 14th generation core uses multi-chip packaging, the CPU and GPU units are actually different processes. The CPU should be Intel 4 process, and the GPU core is manufactured by TSMC. It was rumored that it is 3nm process, but now it is uncertain whether it can catch up. It is rumored that it is TSMC 5nm process.
However, the performance of GPU unit is worth looking forward to, Raja koduri, an Intel executive in charge of GPU business, revealed that the architecture of meteor Lake processor is very exciting and can provide unique performance with integrated display energy efficiency**
Due to this unique architecture, Raja koduri said that the GPU on meteor lake can not even be called centralized display / core display, and it is not quite right to call it independent display. The new name has to wait for the official announcement.
