Intel 14th Gen processors come with 50 percent performance increase

Intel’s 14th Gen Meteor Lake processors are expected to hit the market by the end of the year. However, it has been strongly said that the new processors will be assertive about performance. The new information that has emerged points to a performance gain of more than 50 percent.

Based on information shared by OneRaichu, a highly reliable leak source, 14th Gen Meteor Lake processors will deliver massive performance and efficiency gains. Meteor Lake will be the first processors that Intel will take advantage of chip technology and hybrid core architecture. In this context, a brand new core architecture will be adopted for both P-Core (Performance) and E-Core (Efficiency).

Intel 14th Gen processors will provide serious performance gains

The 14th Gen Meteor Lake processors are said to target mobility primarily, and while a desktop lineup is planned, those plans are said to be changing. It is reported that Meteor Lake CPUs aim for more than 50 percent performance increase per watt compared to the current generation. When AMD’s Zen 4 architecture was released last year, it offered more than 25 percent performance gains per watt. So it looks like Intel’s next generation will be strong.

But that’s not all, the leak also states that Intel’s Meteor Lake processors can achieve up to a double performance boost in graphics performance thanks to the tGPU architecture, which will include new Xe GPU cores. As Raja Koduri noted, Meteor Lake processors will feature an entirely new class of graphics and will base Arc GPUs. Therefore, the tGPU (Tiled GPU / Next-Gen Graphics Engine) solution, which is completely different from the iGPU or dGPU designs we see at present, can compete intensely with AMD and Nvidia.

Given the double performance gain and enhanced support for DirectX 12 Ultimate and XeSS, the tGPU units are said to compete with AMD’s RDNA 3 GPUs. Both Nvidia and AMD have made significant generation-to-generation gains in their solutions. Therefore, the integrated GPU market is moving towards an increasingly competitive position.

According to Intel, 14th Gen Meteor Lake processors will be a completely new foundation as the company is switching to chip design as AMD has done. The Meteor Lake series will feature four divisions: IO, SOC, GFX, and Compute. It will consist of CPU and GFX units inside the compute compartment of the processor. In the CPU part, a hybrid design consisting of Redwood Cove performance cores and Crestmont efficiency cores will be used. In its latest statement, Intel announced that it will accelerate the production of Meteor Lake processors in the second half of the year.
