CPU leaks at Intel: Meteor Lake with fewer P cores than Arrow Lake, TDPs up to 125 W [Gerücht]

Intel’s 13th CPU generation from the Raptor Lake architecture was launched on the market on October 20th and, based on various tests, won the direct duel against AMD’s new Ryzen 7000 generation for the time being. Now an internal table from Intel is said to have leaked, which gives a first overview of the coming generations Meteor and Arrow Lake for 2023 and 2024 respectively. Several CPU configurations are given, which provide information about the number of cores (P and E cores), the IGP and the power consumption.

Meteor Lake slimmed down, Arrow Lake back with 24 cores

According to Wccftech, Intel’s internal table reveals five configurations for the Meteor Lake S line-up. It is noticeable that the top model with two P cores has fewer than the 13900K from Raptor Lake, while the number of E cores remains unchanged. The three top variants (K, non-K and T) come with 22 cores, six of which are P and 16 are E cores, with TDP levels of 125, 65 and 35 W. Otherwise, two variants with only eight E cores, corresponding to 14 cores in total, with 65 and 35 W are available. It is known that the P cores are based on the new Redwood Cove architecture, while the E cores use the Crestmont design.

The internal table should also provide information on the IGP of the processors. These are equipped with four Xe cores and offer 64 execution units or 512 FP32 ALUs. This means that Meteor Lake’s IGP has two fewer Xe cores than the smallest Arc desktop graphics card, the A310. However, Intel’s graphics unit should be able to keep up with the IGP of the Ryzen 7000 processors.

The 15th generation Arrow Lake is again on par with the 13th generation Raptor Lake in terms of cores according to the internal table. The Arrow Lake-S top models house the 8 P and 16 E cores, which are also the only ones leaked in Intel’s list. The number of Xe cores of the IGP are unchanged, as well as the power consumption and its gradations. The integrated GPUs of the Meteor Lake processors are to be manufactured recently in TSMC’s 5 nanometers, while 3 nanometers are still planned by the Taiwanese for Arrow Lake.
