Intel is preparing to launch its next-generation Meteor Lake (MTL) mobile processors sometime in the second half of 2023. Based on the Intel 4 EUV manufacturing process, this next-generation platform will bring many node and technology improvements. Thanks to Igor's Lab, we have a diagram block of the MTL-U, MTL-P, and MTL-H designs, further providing information on the upcoming platform. First off, it is essential to note that the new platform features updated CPU cores. Featuring up to six Redwood Cove P-cores and up to eight Crestmont E-cores, it will come in MTL-P and MTL-H SKUs for higher performance, while the MTL-U will offer a total of 12 cores only.
The platform block diagram points to an upgraded memory controller, which enables MTL to reach 7467 MT/s with LPDDR5 (X) with up to 64 GB capacity. If regular DDR5 memory with 5600 MT/s speed is used, the SoC can connect to up to 96 GB of RAM. An interesting note here is that only the highest-end MTL-H SKUs will utilize eight lanes of PCIe Gen5 protocol for GPU, while the rest will be stuck on PCIe Gen4. Below, you can see the diagram and the specification table in greater detail.
