Intel is cutting it fine with Meteor Lake. But it looks like it will just—just—make its self-imposed schedule for pushing its new 4nm CPU out the door before the end of the year. The new Core Ultra, the CPU formerly known as Meteor Lake, will be launched on December 14th during an event Intel is calling "AI Everywhere" and that will also big up Intel's AI prowess "across the data center, the cloud and the edge". Huzzah!
We know quite a bit about Meteor Lake thanks to various briefings from Intel, including the fact it's essentially a mobile-only CPU and won't be coming to desktop PC sockets. But December 14th will be when the final details emerge including initial CPU models in what Intel might be calling its 14th Gen mobile CPU family, though maybe not. Who knows what Intel's marketing department is up to after switching to Core Ultra.
