Intel Had A Working Prototype Of Meteor Lake At Computex 2023 And We Got A Sneak Peak

Intel had a working Meteor Lake S CPU at Computex this year and showed off the VPU portion of the SoC (you can read that in detail over here). While the company was using an extremely early model and the performance of anything except the VPU is not indicative of the final product - we managed to sneak a peak at the configuration of the MTL CPU.

It is worth noting that this particular platform was spun up just 2 weeks ago (you can actually see the uptime on this laptop) for the purposes of this demo and the clocks you will see here are not even remotely indicative of the final product and will very likely change. That said - the physical specification - specifically the core configuration is very likely to stay the same.

In the screenshot above you can see that this is a 16 core product. [Warning: not-confirmed] If earlier leaks are to be believed than this is likely the 6+8+2 configuration of P(Main)+E(Main)+E(SoC) cores that we have seen before [/not-confirmed]. It features a total L1 cache of 1.6 MB, a total L2 cache of 18 MB and a total L3 cache of 24 MB. There were a total of 22 threads visible to the OS - which makes sense considering only the P cores are hyper threaded. The clock speeds obviously mean nothing at this stage but for what its worth the CPU was idling at an extremely impressive 370 MHz. The base clock shown was 3.1 GHz.

We can also the Intel VPU in action here and interestingly windows is detecting it as Movidius. At this point Intel told us was the silicon on the Meteor Lake SoC was three generations ahead of the original Movidius stick but has roots in that IP (which is why the task manager is detecting this as a Movidius NPU). We can also see that the VPU uses roughly 1 GB of memory from the shared vRAM pool to do its thing. For the rest of Intel's presentation, you can read the detailed breakdown of its Meteor Lake AI demo over here.
