Intel introduced new architecture processors Meteor Lake, which will be available only for mobile chips (for desktops there is only Raptor Lake Refresh). The new line of processors is manufactured using the Intel 4 processor and today includes 8 new models, four in series H with 28W PBP and 64-115W MTP, four are then in series U with a reduced PBP to 15 W, while the MTP then reaches 57 W. At the beginning of next year, a Core Ultra 9 185H model with a clock speed of up to 5.1 GHz is planned, while it will have an increased PBP to 45 W (the MTP will remain at 115 W) . On the contrary, the Core Ultra 7 164U and Ultra 5 134U will go to the more economical classes, which will reach only 9W PBP and 30W MTP.
Processors are characterized by a tiled architecture. The interesting thing is that there are three different types of cores, namely the powerful P-Core, the economical E-Core and the very economical LP E-Core. All the processors announced today have 8 E-Core and 2 LP E-Core, they differ only in the number of P-Core from 2 to 6. As a result, the offer will start with 12-core, or 14-threaded processors and the current flagship Core Ultra 7 165H will have 16 cores and support for 22 threads. Intel Thread Director will take care of optimizing work with cores.

Next, in the H series, we find the Arc GPU Xe-LPG, which can have 7 to 8 Xe-Cores depending on the model and a frequency of 2.2 to 2.3 GHz for currently available processors. HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1 20G (also output via USB-C), AV1 encoding and decoding, HW acceleration of ray-tracing and XeSS are supported. According to Intel, the GPU in the Core 7 Ultra 155H processor with a clock speed of 2.25 GHz is at the level of the Radeon 780M in the Ryzen 7 7840U, with the Core Ultra 7 165H model with a frequency of 2.3 GHz, it should already attribute 5% extra performance in 1080p resolution to the quality Medium. The U series processors have GPUs marked as Intel Graphics with 4 Xe-Core and clocks of 1.85 to 2.0 GHz.
A fundamental innovation is the NPU for processing artificial intelligence algorithms. AI Boost technology can be found on all processors (which, for example, does not apply to AMD Hawk Point, where there will also be models without Ryzen AI), while they can achieve performance of up to 34 TOPS. The processors support DDR5-5600 memory with a capacity of up to 96 GB or LPDDR5x-7467 up to 64 GB. Only future ultra-thrifty versions will exclusively support LPDDR5x-6400.
The processors support wireless interfaces Wi-Fi 6E and 7, Bluetooth 5.3 and 5.4. There are 8 PCIe 5.0 lanes for the GPU, 3 times 4 PCIe 4.0 lanes for the SSD, and 8 PCIe 4.0 lanes for further expansion. 4 Thunderbolt 4 ports (including USB-C and 40 Gbps speed), 2 USB 3 and 10 USB 2 ports are supported, there is also the option to have two SATA 3.0 ports.
