Intel’s latest Meteor Lake-S desktop CPUs are set to be housed on a new LGA 1851 socket, which has been confirmed on the company’s website. According to ComputerBase, the new socket is the exact same size as the previous LGA-1700 socket, but the integrated heat spreader (IHS) protrudes higher to provide enough space for Intel’s new multi-tile technology. Additionally, the new socket will also support LPDDR5X-7500 memory. This is an important update as it could help prevent overheating issues experienced by Intel’s Alder Lake CPU due to warping. Stay tuned for more updates on Intel’s Meteor Lake-S desktop CPUs and their new LGA 1851 socket.
Intel’s new LGA 1851 socket is set to be compatible with both Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake desktop processors, and will support LPDDR5X-7500 memory. The 14th Gen Meteor Lake-S Desktop CPUs feature up to 22 cores in a combination of 6 P-Cores and 16 E-Cores, and will be powered by the brand-new Redwood Cove and Crestmont architectures. With the information available, Intel has made it clear that they are preparing to support DDR5 UDIMM and SO-DIMM versions with ECC. With the new LGA 1851 socket, Intel is setting the stage for more powerful and efficient processors in the future.
The 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPUs, includes SKUs with at least 4 Xe Cores for the iGPU and 64 Execution Units or 512 ALUs. This is slightly lower than the DG2-powered Arc A310 graphics card, but will still be on par or even better than the RDNA 2 iGPU on AMD’s Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs. The top die configuration will have a 125W “Unlocked” SKU range while the rest will come in the standard “Non-K” and “T” series with 65W and 35W TDPs. However, this generation of CPUs will only be available in up to Core i7 parts and there will be no Core i9 part due to the lowered core count. The CPU will use the Intel 4 (CPU) + TSMC N5 (tGPU) + TSMC N6 (SOC) process nodes.
