Intel has taken the wraps off its new Meteor Lake-based Core Ultra laptop CPUs, and it's aiming these low-power chips squarely at my favourite AMD chip of all time—the Ryzen 7 7840U. That's the similarly low-power Zen 4 processor at the heart of the latest Framework 13 mainboard, but also every single non-Valve handheld gaming PC that was released this year.
These are the first processors based on the Intel 4 (née Intel 7nm) production process, and come with the company's innovative tiled design. This mixes chiplets from different production processes and, importantly, from different companies together on top of a base layer which connects them all together.
