At yesterday’s investor conference, Intel announced a series of products and technology roadmaps, of which GPU is also the focus of Intel. The sales target of ARC game cards this year is 4 million, which is very ambitious. Among Intel’s new products, the 14th-generation Core Meteor Lake (Meteor Lake), which will be launched in 2023, will be a revolutionary product. First, it will upgrade the Intel 4 process, which is Intel’s first EUV lithography process. The performance per watt of transistors will increase by about 20%.

Secondly, the architecture of the 14th generation Core will also be greatly changed.For the first time, it adopts a non-single chip design to flexibly integrate multiple small chip modules, including the next-generation hybrid architecture CPU, tGPU core display engine, and AI acceleration unit, and the power consumption is very low.
In this multi-chip architecture, the CPU module is produced by the Intel 4 process, and the GPU module is very interesting. Intel has made it clear that it will use the outsourced 3nm process. Not surprisingly, the first batch of products is the GPU module in the 14th generation Core Duo. .
The 3nm process is used for GPUs, which may be much earlier than AMD and NVIDIA’s graphics cards to upgrade the 3nm process, so the performance is very interesting.
At yesterday’s meeting, Intel executive Raja Koduri, who is in charge of the GPU business, revealed that,The architecture of Meteor Lake processors is very exciting, delivering discrete graphics-level performance with integrated graphics power efficiency.
Although Raja did not specify what level of independent display performance, considering the situation of Intel’s Xe architecture and ARC graphics card, the GPU performance of Meteor Lake is obviously not weak, and the minimum can exceed the thousand-yuan independent display.
Due to this unique architecture,Raja Koduri said that the GPU on Meteor Lake can no longer even be called an integrated display/core display, and it is not right to call it a standalone display.Looks like Intel needs a new name.
