The MeteorLake processor adopts a split module architecture, consisting of four independent modules connected through Foveros3D packaging technology. Its computing module is built using Intel4 process technology for the first time, with P-Core based on RedwoodCove architecture and E-Core based on Crestmont architecture; the core display adopts a new AlchemistXe-LPG design; the newly introduced NPU can better share different AI tasks.
According to UDN reports, when Meteor Lake is launched on December 14, Intel's partners will launch their own designs. However, the first batch of laptops equipped with the new processor are not cheap, with the final price exceeding NT$50,000, approximately US$1,555.4/RMB 11,355.
At this live event, Acer Chief Operating Officer Gao Shuguo announced the launch of the Swift notebook and performed a demonstration. It is foreseeable that Acer will be one of the first manufacturers to launch the Meteor Lake notebook, and Intel's public reference design may also be related to Acer. Some market participants said that some manufacturers may be more conservative and choose to wait until 2024 to launch Meteor Lake laptops. It is likely that users will not be able to get the product when it is launched, and most of them will have to wait until early 2024.
Intel has not announced the specific price of the Meteor Lake processor, but the highlighted artificial intelligence computing capabilities may increase the pricing of terminal devices. AI is a buzzword in the technology industry recently. It is expected that manufacturers will use it as the main selling point of new products. It will also help improve their own brand image and make Meteor Lake laptops more suitable for high-performance positioning. The price will naturally increase during the initial release period.
