Making an ambitious entry into the competition with the 13th Generation Raptor Lake architecture, Intel has started preparations for Raptor Lake Refresh, 14th Generation Meteor Lake and 15th Generation Arrow Lake. As you know, we have been hearing leaks about these three architectures for a while. Now, new details have emerged about the Raptor Lake and Meteor Lake processors.Meteor Lake may be limited to i5
When we look at the shared images, we see that both architectures, Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake, will share the same socket with Intel 800 (LGA 1851). In this context, we can say that Intel will say goodbye to the LGA 1700 platform after the upcoming Raptor Lake Refresh. In addition, in the table in question, it is interestingly stated that the 14th Generation Meteor Lake processors will be supported with i5 processors up to 65W. In short, we will encounter the i3 and i5 models.
The 15th Gen Arrow Lake will be scaled up to 125W and will host the i7 and i9 series compared to Meteor Lake. At this point, although both architectures will share the same platform, it is not yet clear whether they will be released separately or at different times. But we can see Intel take a different step to defend its benchmark superiority.On the other hand, it should not be surprising if Intel launches its 800 series platform only with Meteor Lake. As a matter of fact, AMD made a similar decision on the AM4 platform, which was launched with Excavator-based Bristol Ridge processors in the first place.
