Intel denies Meteor Lake is delayed to 2024, says consumer chips will launch in 2023

It’s not clear if there’s a grain of truth left
August 5, 2022

Intel had an incredibly rough quarter, unexpectedly losing half a billion dollars due to a PC purchasing slump, and yesterday seemed like more bad news — a report from TrendForce about manufacturing delays sparked rumors that Intel’s next big flagship processor Meteor Lake would be delayed until 2024, which would put it as much as a year behind schedule. (In a February investor meeting, Intel said that Meteor Lake would be “powering on” this summer before shipping in 2023.)

However, Intel is flatly denying those rumors today, with spokesperson Thomas Hannaford clarifying to The Verge that not only are they untrue, but that Meteor Lake will actually ship, launch, and be available to consumers in 2023.

That’s a good thing for Intel, because Meteor Lake is one of the company’s most important developments in many years. Not only is it the first client processor on the company’s Intel 4 architecture (formerly known as 7nm) and reportedly its first to use extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) in manufacturing, it’s also the first major release from Intel to use a chiplet design where processor components can be combined more like Legos.

Delays for 3nm chip production by Intel disrupt TSMC's expansion plans

Intel is again delaying its tGPU chipset in Meteor Lake to the end of 2023, which it planned to outsource to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), as TrendForce reports. The tGPU sets were previously postponed from the second half of 2022 to the first half of 2023, due to complications in their design and verification procedures.

Intel 14th-gen processors may have ray tracing capabilities
Code patches spotted in the wild indicate Meteor Lake's iGPUs may include ray tracing hardware
August 22, 2022

Why it matters: While the 13th-gen Raptor Lake CPU release may be right around the corner, Intel fans are already looking ahead at what the 14th generation will bring to the table. A South Korean tech enthusiast has uncovered information that may shed additional light on Intel's upcoming 14th-gen CPUs. According to Coelacanth's Dream, a graphics compiler found in Intel's GitHub repository looks to include elements supporting on-board ray tracing functionality.

Coelacanth's Dream posted the initial finding late last week, highlighting an earlier commit that added Meteor Lake to the virtual instruction set architecture (vISA) as well as a patch to the Intel Graphics Compiler (IGC). The updates, which show the potential for on-board ray tracing capabilities, would accompany Intel's already anticipated move from the Intel 7 architecture to the new Intel 4 node.

According to an article from Tom's Hardware, the architecture difference between the 12th- and 13th-gen CPUs and upcoming 14th-gen CPUs supports the theory that Meteor Lake will include ray tracing hardware.
