Intel officially introduced the 1st Generation Core Ultra family, codenamed Meteor Lake, yesterday. The Core Ultra series will be the company’s first processors with chiplet design, using a number of new process technologies, especially “Intel 4”. However, Intel did not provide details or price information about the processor models, but according to the industry, the first Meteor Lake CPU-supported laptops will enter the market at high prices.1st Generation Core Ultra laptops will be expensive
Meteor Lake Core Ultra uses a hybrid core design featuring Redwood Cove P-Cores and Crestmont E-Cores with the brand new Alchemist Xe-LPG GPU design and also includes an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) that will be responsible for handling AI-specific tasks. Although Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger only touched on the artificial intelligence aspect of the new generation CPUs during yesterday’s announcement, you can find detailed information about the new series from the link below.
On the other hand, the presentation made it clear that Intel’s main selling point for Meteor Lake laptops will be centered around artificial intelligence. The only Meteor Lake laptops shown during the event were an Intel reference design and an ACER design. ACER is on track to become one of the first OEMs to launch Meteor Lake CPUs, as noted in UDN’s report. Although the actual launch will take place on December 14, the first products may hit the market until early 2024. According to market forecasts, AI laptops from major brand manufacturers will be released in 2024.
According to reports, laptops with Core Ultra processors will have very high prices, such as $ 1,500. If it’s under $1,000, we’ll probably see Raptor Lake Refresh units. Although Intel Meteor Lake CPUs are based on some cutting-edge technologies, being priced much higher than their competitors may not provide the desired success. Because AMD Ryzen 7000 laptops with Ryzen AI technology can already be found for under $ 1,000.
