As you may know, Meteor Lake was originally planned as a desktop version, but according to normal development, it will be the real 14th generation Core and replace it with the new LGA1851 interface. But perhaps because the new Intel 4 process is not powerful enough, the desktop version of Meteor Lake-S was cancelled. The 13th generation Core increased the frequency and hastily replaced it. The mobile version was renamed the new Core Ultra100 series.
The LGA1851 interface will not debut until next month’s Arrow Lake Core Ultra200K series, and there is a high probability that it will only be used in this generation.
On Taobao, someone put out a large number of LGA1851 engineering samples for sale, and you can see that the numbers with the word "QDF4" are printed on the surfaces.
In fact, we had seen samples with this number as early as August last year.They are the aborted MeteorLake-S desktop processors.
Interestingly, these samples also have obvious signs of radiator extrusion, so a lot of testing has obviously been done.
But pay attention,It is impossible for them to light up on any motherboard. Even if they are plugged into the upcoming Z890 motherboard, they will not be supported. Even if they are bought back, they will be just as a souvenir.
