Intel and Gelsinger are clearly inserting a number of religion in upcoming Meteor Lake, Arrow Lake, and Lunar Lake CPUs, which can come out in drive in 2024. Meteor Lake is the corporate’s first tile/chiplet-based shopper CPU, and the primary units to make use of Meteor Lake (primarily laptops) will launch on December 14, although there are rumors that the flagship fashions are delayed into early 2024. Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake are each set to launch in 2024 and also will be tile-based CPUs, with the previous primarily specializing in the desktop as a successor to Raptor Lake.
Nevertheless, Intel is not the one firm making AI-enabled chips for PC. AMD’s Ryzen 7040 sequence Phoenix APUs and Apple’s M CPUs have AI acceleration {hardware} in-built, and Apple’s M chips are particularly a potent competitor, propelling Apple to 10% of PC market share in 2022. Moreover, Intel has to fret about new ARM-based CPUs from Qualcomm, and doubtlessly NVIDIA, and even AMD, which may make issues much more tough Chipzilla. If Gelsinger is critical about promoting 100 million AI-accelerated PCs throughout the subsequent yr or two, its upcoming tile-based CPUs must ship the products. Fortunately, we’ll know the way good Meteor Lake is quickly sufficient.
