New rumors relating to the Intel Core Desktop CPU household have been stirred up by OneRaichu who states that Meteor Lake might not come to the LGA 1851 socket.
Intel Cans Meteor Lake CPUs For Desktop, LGA 1851 Socket To Assist Three Core Households, Alleges Rumor
There have been rumors that Intel may cancel Meteor Lake CPUs for desktop launch and it appears like these may be coming true. In response to OneRaichu who has been very correct together with his leaks prior to now, the leaker states that the Meteor Lake-S Desktop CPUs is probably not launching on desktop platforms however will nonetheless be headed to the mobility phase. A number of months in the past, we reported authentic Meteor Lake-S plans which embrace varied SKUs for the desktop LGA 1851 platform. The SKUs record contains:
- Meteor Lake-S 22 (6P + 16E) / 4 Xe Cores / 125W TDP
- Meteor Lake-S 22 (6P + 16E) / 4 Xe Cores / 65W TDP
- Meteor Lake-S 22 (6P + 16E) / 4 Xe Cores / 35W TDP
- Meteor Lake-S 14 (6P + 8E) / 4 Xe Cores / 65WTDP
- Meteor Lake-S 14 (6P + 8E) / 4 Xe Cores / 35WTDP
MTL-S appears perhaps canceled.🤔

However with Intel Meteor Lake-S allegedly canceled, it appears like we’ve got to revise what we all know in regards to the Intel Desktop Core lineup. So beginning with 2023, Intel plans to launch the Raptor Lake Refresh CPU household which can change the prevailing chips with greater core clocks and an optimized course of to allow higher energy supply. The newest roadmap confirms this and they are going to be suitable with all current LGA 1700/1800 socketed motherboards. This is able to imply that the present socket would final a very good three generations of CPUs.
🤔LGA18xx perhaps will assist three gen merchandise too.
(It simply my guess)— Raichu (@OneRaichu) December 23, 2022
However LGA 1700/1800 will not be the one socket that lasts three generations. Rumors counsel that the next-generation LGA 1851 socket may additionally assist at the very least three generations of CPUs. Since MTL (Meteor Lake-S) is out of the equation now so far as rumors are involved, the three households we are able to anticipate to see on the subsequent socket must be Arrow Lake-S (ARL-S), a potential Arrow Lake Refresh and Panther Lake (PNL-S).
Intel fifteenth Gen Arrow Lake Desktop CPU Lineup (2024)
The Intel fifteenth Gen Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs will carry again the 24 cores that we get on Raptor Lake CPUs right now. The Arrow Lake-S high die will make the most of as much as 24 cores which might be a mixture of 8 Efficiency Cores and 16 Effectivity Cores.
In response to earlier leaks, the lineup will solely are available in Core i7 and Core i9 flavors. The CPU will retain the Intel 4 (CPU) + TSMC N3 (GPU) SKU node structure. It’s rumored that the 20A node will not make its strategy to the desktop lineup. The Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop household is anticipated to return within the following SKUs:
- Arrow Lake-S 24 (8P + 16E) / 4 Xe Cores / 125W TDP
- Arrow Lake-S 24 (8P + 16E) / 4 Xe Cores / 65W TDP
- Arrow Lake-S 24 (8P + 16E) / 4 Xe Cores / 35W TDP
The Royal Cove perhaps will seem within the PTL’s Subsequent product (Within the plan).

Switching from two households per socket to 3 households appears to be a very good transfer by Intel to maintain the desktop battlefield heated with the competitors. It has additionally labored in favor of the blue staff compared to AMD. Additionally it is reported that the Royal Cove core structure which is anticipated to carry large efficiency and IPC will increase won’t come till the technology after Panther Lake which is anticipated to be Nova Lake and that is a 2025+ product.

We all know from earlier reviews that Intel is getting ready a brand new socket often known as “V” that may provide assist for at the very least two generations of desktop CPUs, Arrow Lake-S, and its refreshes + future merchandise. This LGA 1851 socket might be very comparable in dimensions to the prevailing LGA 1700/1800 socket however will provide extra pins and added assist for brand new/enhanced options.
Throughout its latest buyers name, Intel stated that they’re progressing rather well on their Intel 4 & Intel 3 merchandise. The 14th Gen Meteor Lake manufacturing stepping is scheduled to be delivered this quarter with a quantity ramp in 2023 whereas Intel 3 can be anticipated to enter the early manufacturing section by the top of 2023. Do notice that these are early charts and we’re nonetheless years away from the launch of Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake CPUs.
